Klungkung Halal Travel Guide

This is the administrative capital of the regency with the same name. The town is of great historical, cultural, and artistic significance.

Gelgel, just to the south of Klungkung, was the seat of the mighty Majapahit empire in the 15th and 16th century which moved to Klungkung itself in the 17th century. This was a golden age for art and culture in Bali, and Klungkung was the centre of it all.

More recently, Klungkung forever made its mark in modern Balinese history when in 1908, it was the last kingdom holding out against the Dutch invaders. Hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned and the King of Klungkung (the Dewa Agung or great god) led 200 members of his family and court in a puputan (ritual march to death), into the face of the Dutch guns. All of the group were either killed or committed ritual suicide.

What to see in Klungkung

• Klungkung Palace - Kertha Gosa Pavilion - 17th century palace and court of justice.

• Gunarsa Museum of Classical & Modern Art - Museum Seni Lukis Klasik Bali - Owned by Nyoman Gunarsa, one of Bali's most famous modern artists, and exhibits his work. Also of great interest is a huge collection of traditional Balinese art and other objects. Really worth a visit and gets far less visitors than it deserves.

• Kamasan village - This ancient village is the centre of the classical wayang style of painting. Many studios to visit and a large amount of art to appreciate.

• Puputan Monument - This monument commemorates the 200 Balinese from the Klungkung royal family and court who died in the sacrificial puputan when fighting the Dutch in 1908. The large four sided statue in the centre of the same crossroads is the Kandi Pat Sare which symbolically guards the four cardinal points of the earth.

• Pura Masceti - This is the least well known and the least visited of Bali's nine directional temples. It serves as a guardian to the island from evil sea spirits. It is an elabaorately decorated temple and is often the start point for large purification ceremonies on the nearby beaches.

• River Unda - This is one of Bali's major rivers and you travel over it via a large bridge when leaving the town heading towards Padang Bai.

• Taman Gili - Kertha Gosa - The remains of the original palace of the Klungkung royal family. Especially notable is the painted ceiling of the Kerta Gosa pavilion as this is the only surviving example of classical wayang art in the whole of Bali. Much of the rest of the palace was destroyed when fighting the Dutch in the early 20th century but there are some other interesting remnants. The local government tourist office is also located here.

• Pura Goa Lawah - Bat Cave Temple - This is one of the 9 directional temples in Bali and important to all Balinese Hindus. This temple is built in front of a cave where thousands of bats sleep during the day. If you come shortly after sunset you will get to see the bats flying out of the temple in massive clouds. There is an entrance fee to be paid and you need to wear a sash and sarong (can be rented at the entrance)
