The ancient hermitage of Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) near Bedulu is one of Bali’s most intriguing archeological sites, comprising a man-made grotto, elaborate stone carving and Buddhist stupas.
The enormous crater basin of Batur is a spectacular sight. Dominating its centre is Mt. Batur, Bali, a brooding, blackened cone that erupted four times last century. Six small villages eke out an existence within the walls of the caldera, peopled by a simple mountain folk known as Bali Aga (“original Balinese”.)
