SINGARAJA BALI INDONESIA

 

SINGARAJA

BALI

INDONESIA



Singaraja, in Buleleng Regency of Northern Bali, is the ancient capital of Bali. No wonder it is full of history dating back to Royalty of the 1600s. In spite of the Dutch invasion between 1846 and 1849, killing of most of the Royal Family and almost total distraction of the palace, the restored Puri can now be visited.




Singaraja is also a port and a nearby Lovina, some 10 kilometers away, is a beach resort. Its black volcanic sand and crystal clear waters invite dolphins, absolute pleasure to watch.
