Description
Penglipuran Village is a traditional Balinese village located in the highlands of Bangli, in central Bali. It is widely known for its exceptionally clean streets, well-preserved culture, and strong commitment to traditional Balinese architecture and community life.
The village is laid out along a single main pathway lined with identical stone gates and bamboo fences leading to family compounds. Each household follows traditional design principles, maintaining uniform structures that reflect centuries-old Balinese spatial planning and spiritual beliefs. Surrounded by bamboo forests and cool mountain air, the village has a calm, orderly atmosphere that sets it apart from more urbanised areas of the island.
Today, Penglipuran Village is both a living community and a cultural tourism destination. Visitors come to experience authentic Balinese daily life, observe traditional ceremonies, and learn about local customs that are still actively practiced. Its preservation of heritage, community discipline, and natural surroundings has made it one of the most distinctive cultural villages in Bali.
