Butterfly Garden

For almost a year, I didn't post an article here. From today, I hope I can post regularly. Here is a new article.

Butterfly garden is located in Banjar Sandan, Wanasari, or about 6 km from Tabanan (to the north). Hundreds of butterflies, which are grouped into 15 categories, were collected from every area in Indonesia. The butterflies is protected since they are quite rare, such as Troides Helena and Ornithoptera Priamus.

The enviroment was designed naturally so those butterflies will feel comfortable and can do profilerate. Many flowers, especially which become butterflies' favourite, were planted and maintained, so the butterflies don't need to worry about food.

This garden was covered by net to protect the butterflies from predators.

The flabbergast thing from the garden with 35 acre is the tourists from abroad more interest to visit the garden than domestic tourist. The best time to visiting the garden is before 10.00 on local time, so we can see the hundred butterflies take food from flowers.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL...!!!

Bedugul (Part 2)

Bedugul is a cool mountain area in Bali. It located about one or two hours drive from the Ngurah Rai International Airport in the normal traffic (not in weekend). In the weekend, you can reach it in two and half hours or more. The attitude of Bedugul is about 1400 meters above sea level, so like I said in my previous article, Bedugul has cool temperature. (the pic is taken from here)

In Bedugul you can find many beautiful tourism objects and facilities. Also you will see beautiful sights along your journey to this location. The Eka Karya Botanical Garden (the only botanical garden in Bali) located in Bedugul area (see the left pic), among Lake Beratan (right pic), Lake Tamblingan, Lake Buyan and natural forest in the west part.

At the edge of Lake Beratan you will see the Ulun Danu Temple which is beautifully and harmoniously featured with the surrounding nature. Some water sports activities are provided in this lake e.g. fishing, skiing, diving and parasailing. You can find the wonderful scene on the park in Bedugul area (right pic).

Walking from the parking area, you will enter and enjoy greenery and the shadow of the Banyan tree. A small garden with some of local flowers raises the beauty of the landscape in front of the temple.

Bedugul

Bedugul is a great place in Bali. Me and my wife visited there last week and had some picture there.

The weather is cool...you can compare it with Puncak (West Java) and Lembang (Bandung - West Java) since the temperature is about 20-24 Celcius degree.

There are many good places you must visit to, such as Desa Bedugul (Bedugul Village), Kebon Raya (I'll write this later), then Danau Beratan (Beratan Lake, you can see in background in left picture), Pura Ulun Danu (the background of 2 pictures), and Pasar Tradisional Candi Kuning (Candi Kuning Traditional Market - well I hadn't visited since I only passed by Bedugul).

So, don't forget to visit Bedugul if you go to Bali!!
