Best of Manggis

What to see and do in Manggis ?

Manggis is the best place to experience the beauty of Mount Agung. Bali’s highest mountain stands 3142 metres above sea level. View the majestic mountain from the town of Manggis or experience it up close and personal. Regarded as the seat of the Gods, the spiritual significance of the mountain to the Balinese people is overwhelming.

The natural beauty of Manggis is not limited to the magnificence of Mount Agung. With the mountain as a backdrop, the area is surrounded by stunning scenery. The picturesque coastline is only accentuated by the spectacular setting.

The coast of eastern Bali is home to a number of pristine beaches. The white sandy beaches around the towns of Candidasa and Amed are very popular with holiday makers. For a secluded and exclusive experience, enjoy the two cove beaches on either side of Padang Bai. The beaches are not only gorgeous, but often empty of tourists.

For more beachfront beauty, head to the nearby coastal town of Amed. The quaint village is home to crystal clear water and colourful coral. If you are interested in scuba diving and snorkelling, you cannot get better than Amed.

A unique water experience can be found at Tirta Gangga, literally meaning ‘water from the Ganges’. The water palace was built in 1946 and remains a site of significance for the Hindu Balinese. The cultural importance of the water palace is astounding and interesting.

For more history and culture, you should pay a visit to Pura Besakih, the mother temple for the Hindu Balinese. Located on the incline of Mount Agung, the complex is considered the most important site in Bali. With more than 20 separate temples, the complex spreads over 3km. For a unique cultural experience, the Besakih Temple is ideal.

The Manggis region is the perfect place to experience traditional Balinese living. The local people in the village and surrounding area lead a simple life, unique to Bali. Manggis provides an insight into the past and a window into another way of living.

To get a feel of the real Bali, a visit to Tenganan is a must. The remote village is strictly conservative and conventional. Protected by high walls, the village still celebrates century-old customs and culture. Stepping into the isolated town is like stepping back in time; a truly unique experience.
