Tenganan village
About
Tenganan Village in East Bali is one of the Bali Aga (indigenous Balinese) communities that's famous for its well-preserved village layout and the ongoing survival of its traditional crafts. The village is only an 8-minute drive from the beach resort hub of Candidasa.The village is divided into halves by a river: Tenganan Dauh Tukad (its name loosely translates to 'west of the river') and Tenganan Pegringsingan. Pegringsingan is best known for its traditional geringsing tie-dyed 'double ikat' cloth. The annual Perang Pandan war dance, featuring friendly duels among village males coming of age, is definitely worth seeing if your visit coincides with the event around June or July.
