Uluwatu Temple, its cliff-top setting at the edge of a plateau 250 feet above the waves of the Indian Ocean. 'Ulu' means the ‘top’ or the ‘tip’ and 'watu' means a ‘stone’ or a ‘rock’ in Balinese. Several archaeological remains found here prove the temple to be of megalithic origin, dating back to around the 10th century. There are two entrances to Uluwatu Temple, from the south and the north. A small forest lies at the front and hundreds of monkeys dwell here. They are believed to guard the temple from bad influences. Pura Uluwatu is also dedicated to protect Bali from evil's of the sea.
Tohpati Village is just about 12 kilometers from Kuta, and famous for Bali's Batik Wand Weaving Center. Batik is a traditional form of painting fabric. They painstakingly use dots and lines from wax to decorate the cloth. It is very impressive to watch. It would be impossible to visit Indonesia and not be exposed to one of the country's most highly developed art forms, batik. Tohpati Village is a batik home industry, you will undoubtedly experience an overwhelming stimulation of the senses – due to the many colors, patterns and the actual smell of batik. Evidence of early examples of batik have been found in the Far East, Middle East, Central Asia and India from over 2000 years ago. It is conceivable that these areas developed independently, without the influence from trade or cultural exchanges. However, it is more likely that the craft spread from Asia to the islands of the Malay Archipelago and west to the Middle East through the caravan route. Batik was practiced in China as early as the Sui Dynasty (AD 581-618). These were silk batiks and these have also been discovered in Nara, Japan in the form of screens and ascribed to the Nara period (AD 710-794). It is probable that these were made by Chinese artists. They are decorated with trees, animals, flute players, hunting scenes and stylised mountains.
Batubulan Village, (The name of Batubulan is etymologically taken from two words that are: Batu and Bulan - moon stone) is formerly as an agriculture village supported by the craft of stone carving. The start of the road from south Bali is lined with outlets for stone sculptures – stone carving is the main craft of Batubulan (moonstone). Workshops are found right along the road to Tegaltamu, with another batch further north around Silakarang. Batubulan is the source of the stunning temple-gate guardians seen all over Bali. The stone used for these sculptures is a porous grey volcanic rock called paras, which resembles pumice; it's soft and surprisingly light. It also ages quickly, so that 'ancient' work may be years rather than centuries old.
Kemenuh has been known as a wooden craft village. Galleries or workshops can be found everywhere in Kemenuh. There you can find the realist styles, contemporary sculptors, or wooden crafts produced for mass consumption. You can also find high quality works of art from the maestro sculptors such as Ketut Tulak, Ketut Jedeng, Ida Bagus Ketut Lasem, etc. Their skills are hereditarily inherited to their descents, so the uniqueness of statues in the village becomes special identity, different with other sculptors outside Kemenuh. Generally, people here live as farmers, working in their land, meanwhile, sculpting is only a side job in their spare time. Along the way in Kemenuh is managed beautifully, offering a peaceful impression when you come to visit this village.
Kintamani, the area of north-eastern Bali at the Mount Batur caldera, which encompasses Penelokan, Toya Bungkah, Batur, Kedisan, Abung, Songan and Kintamani villages, is known widely as just Kintamani. Kintamani, Batur and Penelokan villages sit on the rim of the huge Batur caldera about 1,500 m above sea level, and offer dramatic views of the active volcano Mount Batur and serene Lake Batur.

Ubud, a town in central Bali, is regarded as the cultural center of Bali. It is famous as an arts and crafts hub, and much of the town and nearby villages seems to consist of artists' workshops and galleries. There are some remarkable architectural and other sights to be found, and a general feeling of well being to be enjoyed, all thanks to the spirit, surroundings and climate of the place. While Ubud seems to outsiders like one small town, it is in fact fourteen villages, each run by its own banjar (village committee). Ubud has grown rapidly, and some central parts are creaking under the strain of coping with the number of visitors. Growth continues apace, but there are still terraced rice fields along the rivers and away from the town center, regular quiet village life carries on relatively undisturbed. There are hundreds of shops selling antiques, woodcarvings, crafts, textiles, paintings and jewelry as well as some of the best art museums in the country, dozens of art studios, an excellent local craft market and galleries
Taman Ayun literally translates as ‘beautiful garden’ and is generally regarded as one of the most attractive temples of Bali. The Taman Ayun temple is situated in a beautiful park with trees and ponds, near the village of Mengwi in the south of Bali at about 8 km southwest of Ubud. Pura Taman Ayun was built in 1634 by the Raja of Mengwi, I Gusti Agung Putu. It is called Pura Kawiten or family temple, a special temple where the ancestors of the Raja Dynasty of Mengwi and other important gods are honored. The Taman Ayun temple is boardered by broad canals and it can only be entered via a bridge leading to a richly ornamented candid bentar, the gate which gives access to the outer courtyard (jaba) of the temple. From this candi bentar a straight, paved footpath leads through the well maintained park past a square pond with a fountain exactly in its center. This fountain has nine water jets, four of which are positioned according the cardinal points, another four according the sub-cardinal points and the ninth in the center, symbolizing the Dewa Nawa Sanga, the nine main gods of Balinese Hinduism.

Pura Tanah Lot is the most visited and photographed temple in Bali, especially at sunset when crowds and traffic overwhelm the site. However, it has all the authenticity of a stage set – even the tower of rock that the temple sits upon is an artful reconstruction (the entire structure was crumbling) and more than one-third of the rock is artificial. For the Balinese, Pura Tanah Lot is one of the most important and venerated sea temples. Like Pura Luhur Ulu Watu, at the tip of the southern Bukit Peninsula, and Pura Rambut Siwi to the west, it is closely associated with the Majapahit priest Nirartha. It’s said that each of the sea temples was intended to be within sight of the next, so they formed a chain along Bali’s southwestern coast; from Pura Tanah Lot you can usually see the clifftop site of Pura Ulu Watu far to the south, and the long sweep of sea shore west to Perancak, near Negara. There are restaurants on the clifftop overlooking the temple. Visit with high tide, when the temple is marooned at sea, at low tide you can walk over to the temple itself, but non-Balinese people are not allowed to enter. There are evening Kecak and fire dance performances. To reach the temple, walkways run from the vast parking lots through a mind-boggling sideshow of tacky souvenir shops down to the sea. Tanah Lot owes a magnificent view in particular at the sunset time where the sun goes down to the earth’s stomach. Every visitor who is paying a visit to this place will be marveled to see the beautiful panorama of Tanah Lot. Besides this temple, there are other temples which can be seen on your visit to Tanah Lot like Batu Bolong Temple, Batumejan Temple and Enjung Galuh Temple.
