Even though Singaraja is well
off the beaten track, (about 3 hours from Kuta
/ airport - but the joutney is magnificent)
it is slowly starting to come of age with tourists
interested in Bali’s past and those interested
in Bali without the mass tourism or western
style shopping malls.

At one time Singaraja
was the capital of Bali and its main trading port.
As such Singaraja has an eclectic mix of Hindu,
Muslim and Buddhism culture wrapped in Dutch colonial
trapping.
Rich in history including the Gedong Kirtha
Library which was built by the Dutch during
their colonial rule, the library contains important
documents and historical manuscripts.
