Gorgeous Kintamani Bali Tour Volcano 2022

Bali Cab driver will lead you on our best  Kintamani Bali Tour Volcano. The trip begins with Barong Dance in Batubulan, a traditional dance about the struggle between good and evil.

The dance of Barong and Kris is one of the most famous dance dramas of the island, in keeping with Legong and Kecak. It brings to life on stage the classic 12th century story of good versus evil, called Calon Arang. The Barong, a good symbol in a beastly shape, must guard the country against the princess and witch’s vengeful rage, Rangda. A team of 2 male dancers work out the moving Barong costume in a highly ornate way, while a cast supports singes, priests and village men. Daily performances are shown at different locations across the primary tourist regions of the island, the most popular being Batubulan in Gianyar, and in the suburbs of Denpasar.

Barong and Kris dance shows are held locally and are always attended by local villagers and a live gamelan orchestra. Pamphlets containing synopses are distributed before the show begins at the ticket booths. Otherwise, owing to absence of narration, it can be hard to follow the narrative as the scenes develop.

Normally, when the crowd sits, dynamic gamelan opening begins and the play unfolds with dancing monkeys entering the stage, playing the orderly and peaceful forest around, and finally the Barong entering the stage. The troublemakers who turn out to be Rangda disciples disturb this peace and a shock follows.

It turns out that Rangda has set out to spread her black magic dominion by hiring more supporters that themselves become malicious beings. Even the guards of the palace are subject to their black magic. The Barong attempts to protect the kingdom and faces Rangda who brandishes her primary gun: a magical white cloth that spells malevolently with every swoosh.

The climate scene has the palace watchmen in a trance, screaming and stuck their chests hard with kris knives, but without damage because of black magic. Barong goes to salvation and lifts the spell of all the wounds, and a priest sprinkles holy water and revives the kingdom completely when famine goes down. Rangda has been beaten. The versions differ across each site.

Shows last between 45 minutes and an hour and photographs are generally taken on stage in their complete costume or in the Gamelan orchestra at the end of the series. The dances display once a day, generally between 9.30 and 10.30 in the morning. We would not suggest this for children, because of the kris self-stabbing scenes and sometimes a bit of unkind’ Balinese humour,’ innuendo thrown by monkey characters.

The Kintamani  Bali tour Volcano package will continues with visiting Ubud Monkey Forest;
The Ubud Monkey Forest is a 10-minute walk from the majority of guesthouses and resorts along Jalan Hanoman’s primary highways and the famous Jalan Monkey Forest.

Over 700 gray, long-tailed macaques live in the Ubud Monkey Forest. This natural sanctuary, also known as the Padangtegal Holy Monkey Forest, has paved paths through the leafy nutmeg forest and several ancient shrines under thick foliage. Thanks to its community-based leadership, place and ease of access, it is a famous wilderness reserve in Bali.

The forest also has several ancient shrines, with moss-covered guardian statues. The Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal and Pura Prajapati from the 14th century were popular places devoted to village funerals. Relics and statues with little sunshine are under thick vegetation which gives a mysterious and ancient feeling.

Then the trip will ended by visiting  TAMPAK SIRING  TIRTA EMPUL HOLLY  SPRING TEMPLE.

The Pura Tirta Empul (Holy Water Temple), whose sacred fountains God Indra is said to be created and have a healing nature, has drawn Balinese Hindu worshipers for more than 1000 years. Today, tourists from all over the world come here to marvel at their beauty and to swim in a cool holly water, as well as the worshipers

In the village of Manukaya, in Bali Cultural Center, in the Tampaksiring City, not far from Ubud, is Tirta Empul Holy Water temple. The temple is underneath the Presidential Palace Tampaksiring. The palace itself is a beautifully built monument for the island and the country and was built in 1958 by the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno. The Holy Water Temple of Tirta Empul and the Presidential Palace give some of the most fascinating views you can see.

The Tirta Empul is a big temple complex, and it takes at least 30% to an hour to explore the whole site as a Petitaan or bath center. As our bathing visit takes place, it will spend a lot more time here. Just like in other temples and holy places around the island you need to bring a sarong before entering the premises. The Sarongs are available for a tiny gift at the entrance of the temple.

Upon entering the Temple, join the large Balinese stone gate (locally known as Candi Bentar) and the courtyard outside the Temple. Another Candi Bentar built into a wall leading to the primary patio at the end of the courtyard. The temple area is known as ‘ Jaba Pura. ‘

Enter the court and get to the Jaba Tengah region, the primary region of the temple. The sacred wells bubble in a big, crystalline pool inside the temple and flow through 30 watercourses into two holy pools. Local worshippers of Balinese and Hindu people sit in the pools waiting to dip their heads under water in a cleansing ritual that is known as “melukat.” Baders start in the pool on the left side of the pool under the first water jet. Once they have cleansed themselves under the first root, they join the next queue. This process is proceeded until the water supply is cleaned. However, only after Balinese have cremated are two springs intended to cleanse the dead.

The last portion of the Holy Water Temple, which is called the Jeroan, is behind the cleansing pools. Visitors are primarily ignorant of the jeroan or inner courtyard and are a pleasant place to visit and relax after your hustle and bustle. Here is where people come to pray. The front of the courtyard is dominated by the large water supplying cleaning pools. The spring is filled with green algae, and the reeds are filled with small fish. Behind the springs there are large Hindu shrines. This part of the temple is nice to explore quickly. The temples are highly ornamented, in contrast to the starched white robes of the Balinese who come here to pray.

You pass a large pool filled with koi fish when you leave Tirta Empul. The walled environment of this portion of the temple is on every four sides of the complex. Fat koi swim lazily in the pool awaiting their next meal.

Tirta Empul is the Hindu water God, Vishnu. An inscription dates to 926 AD when a temple was founded on the site. In Balinese, a loosely translated Tirta Empul implies water gushing from the earth that is why Tirta Empul is considered a holy spring. The Temple of Tirta Empul involves the shrines of Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, and Indra and Mount Batur. It is regarded one of Bali’s five or six most sacred shrines, and is one of Bali’s most sacred water sources (the other one is Lake Beratan’s Pura Ulun Danu).

The Balinese people think that the creation of Tirta Empul includes the legend of an epic fight between Mayadenawa, a strong and magical king, and Indra. Mayadenawa had the spiritual authority to turn himself into whatever form he wanted. But with his powers, he became careless and used them for black magic. A priest named Sang Kulputih prayed to God Indra that the evil king should be stopped. Indra and his soldiers were able to defeat the forces of Mayadenawa and left the evil king and his troops running their lives.

Later, when the army had slept, Mayadenawa snocked into Indra’s camp. He created a lovely, yet poisonous, pool, which the army would drink when it waked. When Mayadenawa crept into the camp, he went on the sides of his feet so as not to leave footprints, so this is believed to be the origin of the name Tampak Siring which transforms it into’ slender footprint.’ Thus, through its mighty power, God Indra and his staff pierced the ground creating sacred, healing springs of sacred water that was called Tirta Empul.

Knowing that his plan had failed, Mayadenawa attempted heartbreakingly to convert himself into distinct kinds of humans, but in vain as Indra continued to hunt him. When he finally turned into a boulder, Indra fired an arrow and pierced and eventually murdered the evil king. The Mayadenawa’s blood that gushed from the rock is said to have formed the Petanu River, and the river was cursed for more than a thousand years by allowing rice to grow fast, but with a terrible reek, and blood. The Hindu Balinese celebrate the death of Mayadenawa in the Balinese traditional calendar every 210 days as the day that virtue triumphs over evil in the rite and ceremony called Galungan.
