Tour Type :Halfday Tours
Availability : Daily
Itinerary ;
We
will take you to Uluwatu Temple, a cliff edge
temple at 95 meters above sea level, with fantastic view to the
Indian Ocean. This is the masterpiece of Nirartha, a holy priest
from XVI century, and a great place to watch the sunset over the
sea that filled with sailing outriggers (jukung). Afterwards,
we will witness the performance of Monkey (Kechak) Dance,
the most unique dance among Balinese dances. It is not accompanied
by any instrumental music, but by a male chorus performed by over
70 men. Their hands and torso movements with sudden jerks swaying
back and forth illuminated by torchlight, gives an unreal impression.
In the middle of the circular stage, The Ramayana Story will be
performed as the Hindu version of Romeo and Juliet but with happy
ending. Then we’ll take you to Jimbaran Bay for having seafood
dinner.

Uluwatu Temple
On the southernmost Peninsula of Bali the Towering tableland of Bukit, which drops dramatically into the sea at the sheer or Uluwatu. This rock is believed to be the metamorphosed ship of Dewi Danu, goddess of the water, and did the wandering Hindu Saint choose the place. Sang Hyang Nirartha, to achieve moksa, or oneness with the godhead, and end his life on earth.
The ancient temple of Pura Luhur Uluwatu, perched precariously in this spot, is populated by a friendly tribe of protected Monkeys. In recent years Uluwatu has been discovered to have an almost perfect surfing break at all times of the years, and a new road has been carved in the cliff to give acces by motorbike to avid surfers.
The nearby Pantai Suluban is another favorite play ground for surfers, an the Annual Surf Championship are partly staged here. Just around the comer, at jimbaran, is excellent diving, with a multitude of fish and coral to bee seen. |

Kecak Dance
Probably the best know of the many Balinese dances the Kecak dance is also unusual because it doesn’t have a gamelan accompaniment. Instead the background is provided by a chanting ‘choir’ of men who provided the ‘chak-a-chak-a-chak’ noise which distinguishes the dance. Originally this chanting group was known as the kecak dance and they were part of a Sanghyang trance dance. Than in the 1930s the modern Kecak dance developed in Bona, a village near Gianyar, where the dance is still held regularly.
The Kecak tells the tale of the Ramayana and the quest of Prince Rama to rescue his wife Sita after she had been kidnapped by Rawana, the King of Lanka. Rama is accompanied to Lanka by sugriwa the king of the monkeys, with his monkey army. Throughout the Kecak dance the circle of men, all bare cheated and wearing checked cloth around their waists, provide a non-stop accompaniment, rising to a crescendo as they play the monkey army and fight it out with Rawana and his cronies. The chanting is accompanied by the movements of the ‘monkey army’ whose members away back and forth, raise their hands in unison, flutter their fingers and lean left and right, all with an eerily exciting coordination. |

Jimbaran Bay
On the western site of the Bukit ( hill), Bali 's southern Peninsula . lies the once sleepy fishing village of Jimbaran , now the site of Hotel Intercontinental, Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton. Take a walk along the pristine sand or dine at one of the beachside seafood restaurants. Perhaps a sunset drink - Jimbaran is known for its spectacular sunsets. An offshore reef offers protection from the wave action, providing excellent swimming water. |
