Tenganan BALI AGA Village

Situated at Manggis district, approx. 65 km from Denpasar. It is near Candidasa and can be easily reached by public or private vehicles.
Tenganan is one of several ancient villages in Bali, which is usually called "Bali Aga". The word Tenganan was derived from the word tengah or ngatengahang which means "move to the inner area". This derivation of word was having a relation with the movement of the villagers from the seaside to a rural area, in which the position of this village is in the middle of hills, that are western hill (Bukit Kauh) and eastern hill (Bukit Kangin).
