- Tenganan is one of only three places in the world that makes the double ikat, or geringsing, cloth.
Tenganan is home of the Bali Aga people, which means 'original Balinese' in the local dialect. This is a good place to discover the unique culture of one of Bali's oldest tribal groups and learn about traditional skills such as the weaving of special double ikat cloth.
Those who appreciate the quiet life may want to spend the night in one of Tenganan's basic guest houses. However, with the beautiful beaches of Candidasa just a short ride away, many visitors just pause here briefly before heading off to soak up the sun on the beach.
