Mount AGUNG (Gunung Agung)
In Bali the mountains are the home of the gods. Shrouded in mystery and magic, they stretch skywards in majestic splendor.
Gunung Agung is most revered mountain (3014 m) and highest volcano of Bali. Volcano is sometimes explosive, which is considered sacred among local people as the center of the universe. Many visitors leave with the same beliefs.
It is imposing peak from most of southern and eastern Bali. To reach summit is a very demanding climb.
On the high volcanic mountain is Bali “mother temple” - Pura Besakih (built in tenth century). Actually it’s a complex of 30 separate, but related, temples. Pura Besakih is center of activities during ceremonies.
Barong dance
Barong dance is ritual theatre with a genuine exorcist background. It’s about the balance between good and evil and dualities of life, a ritual contest between chaos and order.
