 Hotels > Jembrana Jembrana Hotels Area
Jembrana is perhaps the most ethnically heterogeneous regency in Bali. The Loloan area is populated by a malay-speaking populace of Bugis descent. There are also many Balinese Christians, because part of Jembrana was converted to Catholicism and Protestantism at the start of the century. Also there are plenty of traditional Balinese communities, particularly in the rice-growing areas of the regency.
The natural scene is no less varied than the cultural one. The northern half of Jembrana contains a large mountainous regions, which is part of West Bali National Park. West Bali National Park is situated in two regencies, Jembrana and Buleleng. The entrance on the Jembrana side of the park is at Melaya on the Denpasar-Gilimanuk road. Visit this place if you're looking for pristine tropical nature. The park is the last natural habitat of the endangered jalak putih-fewer than fifty are believed to be left in the wild, where they are threatened by poaching. The park is also home to banteng and the deer-like menjangan. The National Park contains a broad range of natural environments, from mangrove coastal forests to savanna and rainforests.
To enter The National Park one must first go to the park office in Cekik. Experienced guides in the office offer trekking, diving and snorkeling tours, but diving and snorkeling on the Jembrana side of the National Park are not recommended for beginners. Jembrana is best known for the Makepung traditional buffalo races. The regency even calls itself "the land of the Makepung". The Makepung was originally held as part of the harvest festivities. The carts and buffaloes were, until quite recently, still used for transportation. The Makepung consists of a race between two carts pulled by water buffaloes. The colourfully decorated animals race on a 2km course. These days, championship events are organized under the sponsorship of the local government, which uses the race to help promote tourism. | Hotels & Villas in Jembrana Area, Bali - Indonesia |
