Located 26 kilometers northeast of Denpasar, Bedulu lies within proximity to Ubud. Located on the banks of the Petanu River, the village achieved fame because of the nearby 11th-century Elephant Cave, also known as Goa Gaja. The surrounding area boasts Bali's most interesting and ancient wonders including Gunung Kawi and the Yeh Pulu carvings. In the 1930s, the modern form of the kecak dance (monkey dance) was created here. Bedulu's Museum Gedong Arca houses archeological items which reflect Balinese historical and cultural development.
