JEMBRANA
Regency
It is the least
known region in Bali, scarcely visited by tourist , and sparsely
populated , except along the main road of Denpasar - Gilimanuk.
Most of the land is covered by the deseley forested highland of
Bali's National Park. The flatter southern region is rice growing
country. Villages have clean air, partly due to the mass of flowering
shrubs, which almost abscure the neat litte house . The income is
derived primarily from coconut plantations, coffee near the border
of Tabanan , cloves, and vanilla crops.
Jembrana has always been isolated and largely unffected by events
on the rest of the island . Its history is tied to Buleleng after
the Dutch overran the Regency in 1849 and assumed control of Jembrana
as well. It has looked westward, and is thus influencedfrom the
Muslim & Christian religions.
· MEDEWI
Located about 72 kilometers west of Denpasar. The area was a forest
with "Ketket," or thorny trees. The thorny forest means
" Alas Meduwi " in Balinese. Because of this, people agreed
to call it " Meduwi " then changed into the current name
of Medewi. The beach is flat, stony, and has long rolling waves,
so it is very suitable for surfing and sunset watching
· RAMBUTSIWI
TEMPLE
Is on a cliff top overlooking a breathtaking panorama of paddy fields
on one side and the black sand beach on the other. Two caves overlook
the sea, each with a view of the fisherman's boats and seabirds
hovering above. The temple itself was built by Dang Hyang Nirartha.
According to legend, he made a gift of his hair to the temple. Hence
the name Rambut Siwi, which literally means " Hair Worship
"
· MEKEPUNG ( BUFFALO RACES )
The Mekepung was origiannly held as part of the harvest festivities.
The carts and buffaloes were, until quite recently, still used for
two cars pulled by water buffaloes. The colorfully decorated animals
race on a two - kilometers course.
