On the front page of the cave is also equipped with supporting the building as a place pesandekan or receive guests.
If after bersembahyangan in palinggih Tri Purusa, one can immediately enter Goa Giri Putri. Usually people who just came first to this place will feel fear or trepidation given the mouth of the cave is very small, passable only one person. But it's only about three feet, after passing through it, people will be stunned and amazed, because it did not previously have thought that the cavity of the cave is very wide and high and can accommodate about 5,000 people. When a small tunnel through, people will be able to see two palinggih in front of the cave.

The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. The interior of Nusa Penida is Hilly with a maximum altitude of 524 meters. It is drier than the nearby island of Bali. Unlike the neighbouring small island of Nusa Lembongan there is very little tourist infrastructure here.
Crystal Bay beach located on Penida are very exotic at all, other than crystal clear water and white sandy beaches are also commonly used to place rekereasi and bath. It also has a beautiful underwater scenery is very suitable as a snorkeling or diving and fishing.

It is a fresh water waterfall with a pool nearby that you can swim in. We will see Hindian Ocean from The Hills and Manta Point for Diving.
Atuh Beach & Batu Abah Point
Atuh Beach
Atuh Beach is located in the beautiful bay with white sand and on the left side is Juntil Cape wich is stick out into the sea and on the right side stick out into Labuan Ampuak continued to the east is located Gili Batu Melawang, Gili Batu Pedasan, Gili batu Abah and Gili Batu Metegen. On the end Easternmost of Juntil and Gili Padasan capes are really ideal because in front of the two capes are passed by alternating current from the north to the south (and on the other way) that is followed by groups of big or small fish, especially after and before the full moon and several days before and after Dark of Moon or Tilem, these days are the lucky days for fishermans.
The natural cave and the sawallow nest can be found on the south side of Labuhan Ampuak. The swallow nest is the very rare commodity and the price is very expensive. In the mainland of Atuh Valley the situation of the land is very fertile and the Atuh Temple is located there, the temple is especially a place to worship to the God of the sea (the Segara Temple). The ceremony is held every sasih Kedasa or the tenth month of the Balinese calendar (Isaka) where the community came from Bendem Village and the Tanglad Village and the other village. The temple ceremony is done a fullday.
It presented various dances, such as Baris Jangkang Pleilit dance, a mass dance that very sacred, the dance that depict the royal soldiers who are againts the enemy who come attacked. This dance is very rare and only can be seen in the Pelilit village. If we walk into the middle of the land, there is two holy wells with very clear and pure water. This fresh water possibly have best quality in all over the Nusa Penida region. Access to the Atuh Coast could be reached through two directions: from the Pelilit village (20 Km from the boot buyukpork) and continued by the land road approximately 2 Km to Kelodan Series (17 Km from Buyuk) and continued with approximately the land road 5 Km .
Batu Abah Point
Batu Abah point situated on south west of Nusa Penida Island and reachable by the speedboat from Sanur in 45 to 60 minutes depends on sea condition. Batu Abah is a form of quite big rock if you compare to other rocks surrounding Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan or Nusa Ceningan. That is why local people call it "Batu Abah" which means, "Father of The Rock". Not so many and seldom any dive shop in Bali offer a scuba diving trip to this location in their Bali diving trip packages. Besides the distance, which is relatively far, this site, required a diver with high experienced, let say 50+ dives including some drift diving experience within. Nevertheless, Batu Abah is one of our highlights of diving Bali.
Surface condition is pretty rough and has a bunch of big waves that in turn will cause some surge combined with swell along the shallow part of this point. Huge wave hits the rock is indicating that the diver must keep a safe distance to the rock wall when they surface. Highly experienced scuba diving aficionado will love this site for sure, improving diving skill while pumping adrenalin in your body, this site will give a fun adventurous experience.
One day, on March 29, 2002, we started our trip by departing from Sanur beach with a speedboat owned to one of dive center in Sanur. Our scuba diving guide is an Instructor with a lot of experience diving Nusa Penida and surroundings. After 53 minute, we arrived at Batu Abah. While setting up our diving gear, we really enjoy the breathtaking scene there even though the waves is heavily hit our boat. It was very beautiful pristine rocks! After all the gear set up and we did our pre-dive safety check, we were about to do back roll entrance when the boatman suggested us to wait until the boat move a little bit further from the rocky wall. One more maneuver and the boatman allowed us to jump into the water. Once we got into the water we must quickly descend otherwise we will be pulled of by the current and bumped onto the wall.
After descending to the 5 meter, a group of eight 1.5-meter length barracudas surrounding us. Going down again to 32 meters and we stopped for a while to adjust our buoyancy and our adaptation to the surroundings. This site is a combination of wall, white sand, boomies and slopes. In a moment, we can think about Nusa Penida and Gili Tepekong in the same place. Abundant rocks covered by both hard coral and soft coral. The magnificence of blending color of soft and hard coral would leave a memorable experience for every diver visiting Batu Abah. Fishes we encountered here mostly have bigger size than those we saw in another diving sites in Bali. We even saw a very biog grouper (2.5 meter length) with light brown skin and black lining, we guess it was a giant Potato Cod (Epinephelus tukula). Parrotfish, surgeonfish, Napoleon wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) and triggerfish, all in bigger size. We also find some big lobster hiding behind the rocks. We did not see any sharks at that time, possibly the temperature of the water (28 degree centigrade) is the reason. Looking at the big carpet of sands, it is possible that many sharks will rest here.
The crystal clear visibility around 25 meters combined with mild current and slightly surge. On the other corner we also found a small hole we believed it will go to the other side of Batu Abah, however we cannot penetrate it since it was too small for us.
We hardly attempted to go around the island, however strong current pushing us back. Down current started to suck us down made us had to grab on some rock o the bottom. We did the safety stop immediately while we swam to keep a distance with the wall. After we were neutrally buoyant we drifted by the current while finishing the safety stop and surfacing later on. The boatman quickly caught us one by one and heading to other sites after all diver jumped in into the boat.
The scuba diving experienced in Batu Abah was very amusing and challenging. One day, we will dive this site again, considering we have not seen all sites and rocks surrounding Batu Abah.
Paluang Unique Temple & Karang Dawa View
Paluang temple, has a variety of oddities and one of them there in the world. Where there are two strange buildings with car shape. When Ida Bhatara melancaran used car with keneknya of local manners
I think the uniqueness of Bali endlessly for almost ten years of proven track Tabloid Bali Aga stood up to now pretend that haunted still remains a lot, do not be surprised indeed if Bali is often referred to as the Island of Thousand Temples, Island of the Gods, and various other designations called Bali is so magical. In Nusa Penida was a lot of pretending that spread from east to west and some have none at all detected in because it's so mystical. Like the temple at Nusa Ceningan some time ago had loaded Tabloid Bali Aga. To get the news it must stay for three days the place is, given the many sources that should be sought relating to the temple.
Meanwhile, some time ago there Krama village informing Sebun Ibus there pelinggihnya temple where there are cars in it. The temple is located in the village of Karang Dawa, Nusa Penida in the most western area of Nusa Penida. To find the location of the harbor is Nusa Penida can be reached by motor vehicle for about 40 minutes. It was also the same people when invited there, because the streets are not so good asphalt with sand filled the streets is very difficult to pass. Armed with the description of manners, in addition to considerable curiosity, with some youths of the village transfer Sebun Ibus, finally the trip was no obstacle. Even up to the accident site Kelihan Reef Village Dawa, I Wayan party at his house.
Initially sought but not kelihan Bendesa customary village, but she happens not in the house even two Jro Mangku temple was not in his house because he is off to the fields.
We were invited directly to the site of the temple is located just above the high seas, with a fairly dense forest. Initially we were greeted by hundreds of monkeys that inhabit the area. The monkeys in the trees clinging juwet starting to bear fruit. Was not disturbed by the arrival of some vehicles, the monkeys were busy picking fruit that was there.
From the front of the temple building that seems to appear only a few month in rehab again by pangempon manners. With white sandstone, typical of Nusa Penida, the building is quite magnificent temple Paluang stand. When entering into jaba the temple, already seems clear magical aura, which characterizes ketengetan this temple. Imagine, this temple is located just above the steep cliff and on the outskirts of the village, which is quite far from residential manners Coral Dawa.
The next step was continued to the foot with the approval of the Central jaba Jro Kelihan Village. The new set foot into the middle jaba, a surprising thing to appear. Where the temple building is very unusual, very different from other celestial Nusa Penida, Bali Land and even in the world even if there is only one temple to the existing palinggih car.
But cars are not the real car but it's just a form of building palinggih to form a complete car with the wheels, the hood is made of stone padas. To note palinggih car to the east is shaped by the size of Jimmy's car and modern design of contemporary times. And in the middle area there are also shaped building palinggih car but this car is small. By repositioning the car shaped like a VW sedan. In addition to the existing building as common as taksu palinggih, padma, gedong and other palinggih.
According to Wayan Party, Pura Paluang has no inscription until now. But first he had no inscriptions, and have not had time to read is gone and has not been found until now. But the stories of ancestors in the village, he said, building a car has been in existence since time immemorial. "I do not know who made this car, but what is clear before any cars in Indonesia here already," said the man was 35 years.
Building was once a car is made by using wood that is formed in such a way to resemble a car. However, because the wood has begun loss does not eliminate the size, shape and design of the building renovation was repeated by using the stones in order to be more durable and long lasting.
Ida berstana Bhatara that Jimmy was in the car of Lord Ida Ratu Gede Ngurah and Hyang Mami. God knows who he is clear, he says it is the ancestral village of Karang Dawa manners very disungsung until now by about 80 families pangempon manners.
Medal with a Car When Grubug Krama So Keneknya
While in the shape sedan car palinggih There was also a malinggih Bhatara Ida is not clearly known but it is as clear of Lord who is the ancestor of manners.
At night, manners often heard the roar of a car at high speed toward the northwest. Other local manners even when asked to mention at night also seemed like a passing car with a loud roaring sound in light of the lamp is so bright. But it was only the roar of passing and running like a jet aircraft that has not looked back to where it goes.
But according to kelian village, the car is driven out directly by Ida Bhatara themselves with keneknya from the local village. But unfortunately, is now evidence that a person is already deceased kenek. Before he died he told me how he got himself into kenek. As an ordinary car, it needs a turn signal, brake and other things and even then viewed directly by the interpreter kenek who follow where the driver steer the wheel.
He said out of the car when there grubug in other areas where the purpose of this departure is to provide medical assistance by Ida Bhatara. Thus stated, here are also many people who came secretly to get immediate, grace to become a qualified pengusada.
For healers who want to sharpen their knowledge could have matirtayatra to this temple, or even to meditate. Because the atmosphere is very conducive to quiet meditation and conduct the activities of other religious rituals.
Hundreds rencang Bojog
Which adds to the awesomeness of this temple is a form of ancient statues are very strange. There was only his head, his body just stayed there. This occurs because the movement of the earth continues to erode things like this.
As with other ostensibly as a security guard must have the abstract of this temple. Mention hundreds of monkeys that mentioned above is rerencangan him. But not all of them.
The monkeys have seemed strange, they do not go to the court of the temple but the temple dwell panyengker around an area of approximately 50 acres. While looking for small fruits, the monkeys seem to continue to monitor the movements of manners that come to the temple.
In addition to the awesomeness and weirdness earlier temple, Wayan Party also mentioned under the east of this temple there is a peculiar cave. Arbitrary manners could not come to this place.
He said that there are caves in the waist of this gap can not be passed directly descended from this temple, because it is directly next to the temple cliff, just covered with shrubs and trees to shade juwet, up to the edge of the cliff was not visible. To get this location is usually bypassed by walking on the western edge of the sea through a travel distance of up to two hours over the length of the local village.
In this cave he said there was a strange case in which there is a complete set of gambelan gong is even complete. Formed using stone padas. He estimated they had been there over 500 years old. In addition to the rock gong there also a statue of the person who was holding like they're megambel gamelan.
Are they used to be true, maybe curse or something, which obviously this one did not dare kelian conclusion like that. But also very strange because once haunted.
