Singaraja

Singaraja is the largest city in North Bali, and the former colonial administrative capital of not only Bali, but the whole of the Lesser Sunda Islands.

Singaraja Halal Travel Guide

Singaraja still has some of the feel of an old colonial capital. The streets are wider and grander than elsewhere in Bali and some of the old houses set in large gardens recall days long gone. Singaraja just looks different to other towns and cities in Bali. This is also a noticeably multi ethnic city. The Arabic influence is especially apparent in the neighborhood near the old docks called Kampung Arab and the largest Chinese temple in Bali is here.

This is major academic centre with two univerisities, and the number of students residing swells the population to just over 100,000, making Singaraja Bali's second largest city.

• Singaraja Tourism Board Centre - DIPARDA | This is the local tourist office for North Bali and is a good source of information for local current events of interest, as well as the standard attractions

Travel to Singaraja

By car

It takes 3 to 4 hours to drive to Singaraja from the south of Bali. There are three main routes: east via Kintamani, taking in the stunning active volcano and mountain vistas, west via Pupuan, through beautiful rice-paddies, spice and coffee plantations; and central, via Bedugul with its famous market and botanical gardens. Whichever route you take and the journey is sure to be scenic and interesting.

By motorcycle

The ability to overtake on single lane roads reduces the travel duration significantly especially when delays abound during peak hours.

Best way to travel in Singaraja by a Taxi

A prepaid taxi from the Denpasar airport will cost Rp 800,000-800,000.

By bus or bemo

Annoyingly for a city of its relatively small size, Singaraja has three bus terminals. Local bemos ferry passengers between the three terminals, many of which seem to be blue.

• Banyuasri Terminal is just west of the town centre on Jalan Jendral Achmed Yani, and operates buses and bemos to all points west. Buses to and from Gilimanuk (2 hours, about Rp 70,000) and bemos to Lovina (20 minutes, Rp 20,000) arrive and depart from here. There are also several long distance bus companies here who have overnight services to and from Surabaya and further afield in Java. You buy an all in ticket which includes the ferry crossing to or from Java. Expect to pay about Rp 280,000 to get to or from Surabaya (12 hours), Rp 650,000 to Yogyakarta (15 hours) and Rp 600,000 to Jakarata (1 day).
• Penarukan Terminal is about 2.5km east of town and is served by buses and bemos from Batubulan terminal in Denpasar (2.5-3 hours). Local bemos arriving from and departing to East Bali also operate from here.
• Sukasda Terminal is 3 kilometers south of the city and is served by buses from Ubung Terminal in Denpasar. This route goes via Bedugul and is the cheapest way for budget travellers to get to Singaraja (and on to Lovina) from there.

How to get around in Singaraja

Almost no visitors stay in Singaraja, it is more of a passing through town. Visitors therefore normally explore the city and surrounding areas in the vehicle they arrived in.

GoJek and Grab provides motorcycle taxi service in the area.

What to see in Singaraja

In the city

• Gedong Kirtya | A library and museum dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of old lontar (paper made from the rontal palm) scripts. Also houses some bronze inscription plates dating from the 10th century. Very much worth a visit.

• Pura Agung Jagatnatha | This is the most important temple in the city and the largest in the whole of North Bali. Sadly non-Hindu visitors will not normally be allowed to enter. It is though still worth a visit to admire its magnificence from outside.

• Yudha Mandalatama Independence Monument | This rather splendid monument commemorates a local freedom fighter killed in the war against the Dutch. It is the dominant feature of the ramshackle but charming seafront of the city. Explore the surrounding area for a feeling of what Singaraja might have been like in its days as an important colonial port.

Nearby

• Air Sanih - Yeh Sanih | A quaint, tiny coastal village with a notable cold spring bathing area set in nice gardens. The spring water here is said to originate from holy Kintamani|Lake Batur. A warning that the springs are very popular with local children, and can get noisy. Don't let that put you off though, this is a very charming spot.

• Gitgit Waterfalls | You are on the northern slopes of the central mountain range here, and there are three spread out waterfalls around the village of Gitgit. When driving south from Singaraja to Bedugul you cannot miss the signs and vehicle parks. The best of the falls is the southernmost which drops about 50 metres. Some opportunities for bathing in the cool and fresh mountain waters.

• Pura Meduwe Karang | A lovely looking temple, perhaps one of the most impressive in North Bali, and the location of the famous original carving of the Dutch cyclist which you see copied all over Bali. The temple is devoted to deities of agricultural matters.

• Pura Beji | A splendid pink sandstone temple with especially dramatic stone carvings. The temple is dedicated to the goddess of Rice, Dewi Sri
