Belimbing
Village is now
a magnet for
travelers


The view of Belimbing Village is best enjoyed early in the morning or late in the afternoon on a clear day. When rainy, fog usually follows the rain and obscures the whole village. With the arrival of the planting season, the local cultivators start plowing their fields adding traditional culture to the scenery. The cultivators have retained their old way of cultivating their land with the help of buffalo.

The scenic assets of Belimbing Village in the Pupuan district of Tabanan regency are highlighted by stretches of coffee and cocoa plantations, adding further natural beauty of this fresh-aired village. In addition, winding terraced padi fields present the spectator with magnificent scenery.

Belimbing Village is approximately 50 kilometers to the north of Denpasar. The winding, undulating roads will leave a deep impression on the memory. Some amenities are already available, such as International standard accommodation and small restaurants featuring Balinese, Indonesian and international cuisines.

As padi grows profusely in the area, a deep green covers the landscape, resembling a vast emerald rug laid on the slopes of the hills. The cultivators of these crops share an intimate relationship with nature. At harvest time, the cultivators cut the paddy with traditional equipment called "anggapan". Standing in rows, they sing while they glean their harvest.

At the night, the village is devoid of any man-made sounds; only the chirping of crickets and nocturnal birds can be heard, warming the imagination of reposing visitors. A visit to this blissful mountainous area is a sure way to unwind from a hectic schedule.
