One of the greatest place
in Bali that has strong spiritual aura is Sidemen Valley that located at
Karangasem East Bali regency. Many temples of Hindu Bali, the majority religion
of Balinese people, located in this village. Our resort was located at the valley,
surrounded by lush tropical forest and paddy fields that irrigate by
Subak, the Balinese traditional water system for rice field. The housing area
separated with the field area, the housing area located at the right side from
the road, and the field area located at the left side, that make this village
very unique. The area is famous for stunning scenery, and a simple, traditional
way of life.Sidemen village has produced masters of Balinese literature and
Hindu theology, as well as generations of skillful weavers. For decades, or
perhaps millennium, Sidemen has also served as a secluded heaven for the
world-weary There are several home stay and resort hotels in the valley. We enjoyed a fabulous Balinese cooking class where we tested our culinary skills. The food was to die for so many unusual flavors and aromas. Time to relax around the pool surrounded by organic gardens, or enjoy a more energetic rice field walk around the village. Another day in Paradise before returning to the busy tourist are of Seminyak where we stayed for 1 night to soak ourselves in some retail therapy ended another successful Bali Women's Indulgence tour with Lyn Taylor's Adventure Travel.
