Destinasi wisata yang lagi nge-hits di kalangan anak muda Bali


Ngomongin tentang Bali, yang ada dipikiran kita pasti liburan, liburan & liburan. Tak bisa dipungkiri, Bali terkenal dengan banyaknya objek wisata yang bisa dijadikan sebagai tempat untuk me-refresh pikiran kita. Tak hanya bagi wisatawan asing, di kalangan muda-mudi Bali pun, berwisata ke segala penjuru Bali juga menarik perhatian mereka. Apalagi jika tempatnya bagus dan irit di ongkos, tak butuh berpikir dua kali lagi buat segera ngejajal objeknya langsung.
Nah, Sakha bakal merekomendasikan beberapa objek wisata di Bali yang lagi nge-hits dikalangan anak muda Bali. Let's check this out!


1.      Rumah Pohon Desa Batu Dawa Tulamben Karangasem

Objek wisata ini berada di kaki Gunung Agung, tepatnya di Batu Dawa Tulamben, Kecamatan Kubu, Karangasem.  Informasi yang sakha peroleh dari Baliseru.com, untuk menuju lokasi dari jalan utama perhatikanlah petunjuk jalan menuju Tukad Abu, setelah itu cari pertigaan yang terdapat pura kecil di tengah jalan dan ambil jalur masuk ke sana, ikuti jalannya sampai bertemu dengan pertigaan dan ambil jalur kekiri dan ikuti jalan sampai ke lokasi.
Gimana? Masih bingung?
Kalau masih bingung juga kamu bisa gunakan jurus dari segala jurus, “bertanya kepada warga sekitar” untuk mendapatkan informasi yang lebih akurat. Satu lagi, disarankan bagi kamu yang ingin berkunjung ke tempat ini untuk menggunakan transportasi sepeda motor karena medan yang cukup sulit (jalan kecil dan agak rusak).
Indahnya itu, dengan cabang-cabang pohon yang melilit rumah ini, pohon ini nampak seolah-olah mendorong rumah mini ini ke udara, sehingga nampak seperti ia tumbuh dari tanah. Suasana di Rumah Pohon ini cukup sejuk, dari tempat ini kamu bisa menikmati pemandangan laut dan gunung yang dapat dengan jelas terlihat.  Kerennya, informasi yang Sakha dapat lagi(belum pernah kesini soalnya), disini katanya tanpa tiket masuk, tapi kalau bersedia, medana punia sedikit juga gapapa.

2.      Goa Garba Desa Pejeng, Gianyar

            Nah, objek wisata ini lumayan dekat dengan rumah Sakha. berlokasikan di desa Pejeng Kelod, Tampaksiring, Gianyar tepatnya di Br. Sawegunung. Gianyar memang terkenal dengan kawasan peninggalan kuno bersejarah terbanyak di Bali seperti di objek wisata Goa Gajah, Purbakala, Pura Penataran Sasih, Tirta Empul, Gunung Kawi, Pura Mangening dan  arca Arjuna Metapa.
Mungkin terlalu mainstream untuk membahas semua objek wisata terkenal itu, kita fokus ke Goa Garba aja ya!

Dari luar memang nampak biasa saja, tetapi saat kita masuk, seketika kita akan mengambil gadget buat selfie, hehehe. Pertama kita harus turun dulu melewati gapura, menuruni tangga yang terbuat dari bahan batu kali. Nah pada susunan batu-batu tersebut terdapat telapak kaki, yang konon katanya milik dari sang patih Kebo Iwa yang terkenal berototkan kawat tulang besi, bukan Samson ya. Selain berwisata, kalian juga bisa ber-tirta yatra karena disini juga terdapat pura Pengukur-ukuran mendampingi Goa Garba.
Kondisi goa terjaga bersih dan rapi, karena selalu ada petugas kebersihan yang merawat keberadannya. Ceruk pertapaan ini tergolong sangat unik dan indah, sangat disayangkan kalau anda tidak berkunjung ke objek wisata Goa Garba. Parkir luas, toilet ada, no tiket masuk, tunggu apa lagi..

3.      Tampaksiring Journey


            Salah satu tempat nongkrong yang digandrungi kaula muda, ciahh. Berlokasikan di Jl. Melati, Manukaya Let, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, TJ istilah kerennya, menyuguhkan suasana rumah yang sejuk, indah dan menawan. Tiket masuk cuma Rp 10.000,-/orang , kalian sudah disuguhkan minuman bubble juice. Ini sudah included dalam biaya masuk lho!
 
Selain itu juga terdapat wifi gratis jadi kalian bisa bersosialita disini. Fokusnya disini, ada bangunan kayu bertingkat yang unik. Terbuat dari kayu, beratapkan bambu dan dihiasi lampion yang bergelantungan. Keren bradahhhh…. Pemandangan alam persawahan yang indah ditimpali dengan dekorasi yang menawan, tunggu apa lagi. 

Lapar? Haus? Kalian juga bisa pesan makanan & minuman disini. Modal dikit juga mempan mahh, percaya deh ama Sakha.



4.      Tukad Yeh Unda, Klungkung



Bendungan milik Bali, khususnya Klungkung ini sangat cantik, indah dan sejuk dipandang. Ditambah lagi untuk memasukinya tak perlu mengeluarkan uang alias gratis. Ketika memasuki kawasan Tukad Unda ini pengunjung dijamin akan langsung terbelalak matanya karena sajian sungai yang bertingkat dua dan mengalirkan airnya dengan tenang sehingga mampu melupakan segala problematika hidup yang tengah dihadapi. Sakha yang cuma numpang lewat disana aja, udah merasakan ke-keren-annya, apalagi dapat mandi langsung disana, mantaaappp!!

5.      Bukit Belong, Klungkung (Desa Gunaksa)


            Berlokasikan di desa Gunaksa, Klungkung, membuat orang yang berada di tengah sejuknya Bukit Belong merasakan hal yang menyenangkan dan sejenak dapat menghilangkan rasa panas yang dihempaskan sang surya. Hembusan angin ditemani pohon santen yang rindang bisa membuat kita tertidur akan kenyamanannya.
Memang tidak banyak yang bisa dilakukan disini, tetapi dengan menikmati keindahan pemandangan rumput ilalang, alam persawahan dan lautan lepas sudah cukup melepaskan dahaga refreshing kalian. Terlebih kalian bisa berfoto ria disini, utamanya di atas sebuah pohon namun tetap memiliki nilai estetika yang tinggi. Selain itu, longsoran tanah merah juga bisa dijadikan tempat untuk ber-selfie ria. Ingat membawa minuman dan snack sendiri ya, disini belum tersedia pedagang cangcimen, hehehe.., pengalaman Sakha pribadi.





Gimana? ada gak objek wisata di atas yang udah pernah kamu kunjungi? atau malah bakalan jadi sasaranmu berikutnya?
Sakha masih punya beberapa rekomendasi lagi yang pastinya tak kalah menarik dengan objek wisata di atas, tapi kamu juga boleh merekomendasikan destinasi wisata yang lagi nge-hits di Bali, siapa tahu next posts rekomendasi kamu yang mejeng di sini, pokok'e stay tune yaa.. Jangan lupa share ke teman kalian.. Suksma

Nyepi for the world



BALI ISLAND is the most popular destination for travelers. Why? Because Bali has unique cultures, full of spiritual traditions. One of its traditions is Nyepi. It`s really unique because when the other religions celebrate their new year day with luxuriousness, Balinese Hindu are just doing nothing.


Really?


You have to read the article below!




Nyepi day



The origin word of Nyepi is sepi(silent, quiet). It’s the Hindu’s New Year celebration based on Saka Calendar(Balinese calendar system), approximately it began since 78 AD. The main purpose of Nyepi is pleading to the God to purify Bhuana Alit(human) and Bhuana Agung(nature). There are several ceremonies which held before and after Nyepi day:

Melasti ceremony


Two-three days before Nyepi, Melasti or Melis/Mekiyis ceremony is held, on this day, all the ceremony instruments in temple like pralingga, statue as symbol of God are taken to the source of water like sea, lake and river, because those places are the sources of Amerta or eternal life to purify all things within human and nature.


Pengerupukan ceremony


A day before Nyepi, Pengerupukan ceremony is held. Starting on the evening, all Hindus in Bali is held mecaru/tawur to purify Butha Kala(evils` leader in Balinese Hindu belief) and all filthiness by giving specific offerings at a traffic/crossroads and environment of each houses. After mecaru, it will be followed by the main of pengerupukan ceremony agenda, Ogoh-ogoh parade/pageant. Ogoh-ogoh( a big giant sculptures made from bamboo and other materials as a symbol of Bhuta Kala) are paraded to the whole environment. Started from mini size up to huge giant sizes, all are paraded by children, teens, and adults. At the end, it will be burned. Hopefully it can be neutralized Bhuta Kala from the surrounding and they will not disturb the people.


Nyepi Day


On this new year day, all Hindus in Bali  are doing self-introspection to become holistically pure people. Therefore, there are no daily activities in Bali, only hospital are opened. Usually there are pecalang(the traditional balinese security men) every Nyepi day. The pecalang wear black uniforms and udeng or  destar which is balinese headband for men that used in traditional ceremony. There are four main activities(Catur Brata Penyepian) that Balinese Hindu should do on Nyepi:


1.      Amati Geni, do not light fire or other object that contain elements of light;


2.      Amati Lelungan, do not go out of house;


3.      Amati Lelanguan, do not enjoy any kind of entertainment;


4.      Amati Karya, do not do any activities that related with work.




Ngembak Geni Ceremony


Ngembak Geni is the last schedule in a series of Nyepi agenda. On this day, Balinese Hindu are doing Dharma Shanti (Dharma means goodness, Shanti means peacefulness). All people do self-reflection and ask forgiveness from one to another. Hopefully everyone will always love each others as the belief that we all are the same, God`s creation.




Even though it`s only a day, give our earth a rest is really meaningful. Rather than, you are rested by the earth, isn`t it???
