Pura Pucak Mangu on Mt. Catur

"What's the plan for next weekend?" That was a question from a friend after we did Mt. Lesung for the first time a week ago. So during the weekdays I searched for any possibility, and one of the mountain which is still in the same area seems to be good. Plus I found a nice blog about 10 Highest Peaks in Bali.

Mt. Batur 1717m, Bali

It is probably the most famous and common mountain(volcano) to climb in Bali. The reason is it is not a hard trek, quite short and low altitude, has amazing view, and many tourist package for that. I don't want to say how many times I have been there, because I might go again in the next weekend :) Many of my friends said that we have to pay and they will force us to use a guide as it is dangerous, they will follow you, bla..bla..bla.. But it never happen to me even when I bring foreigner friends. If you want to know the start point, write me an email to winaajah@gmail.com or contact my phone number +6285737159359. Sorry I can't share directly here because I don't want the association to start checking that way. Let's keep it free!

The first time I went there was 6th October 2013, with my roommate, Callista. It was 9pm when I suddenly had an idea to climb Batur, and I asked her where is the start point. She was worried, so she offered to accompany me. We started at 12am from Jimbaran, where we lived together at that time. I don't really remember what time did we start to hike and what time did we arrived on the top, but it was quite early.

Pura Leak, Tabanan

Suatu hari saya berniat mengunjungi pantai bernama Yeh Gangga yang berada di daerah Tabanan, Bali. Pantainya memang tidak terlalu menarik, berpasir hitam dan panas, tetapi ada batu besar yang membuatnya menjadi unik.

Pusat Peribadatan Puja Mandala, Nusa Dua, Bali

Dalam perjalanan dari Nusa Dua menuju ke Uluwatu, saya melihat sesuatu yang unik. Nama tempat tersebut ialah Pusat Peribadatan Puja Mandala. Ada 5 bangunan di sini. Masing-masing bangunan dalam lokasi tersebut merupakan tempat ibadah umat Islam, Katholik, Protestan, Buddha, dan Hindu.
