JEMBRANA
Regency
It
is the least known region in Bali, scarcely visited by tourist
, and sparsely populated , except along the main road of Denpasar
- Gilimanuk. Most of the land is covered by the deseley forested
highland of Bali's National Park. The flatter southern region
is rice growing country. Villages have clean air, partly due
to the mass of flowering shrubs, which almost abscure the
neat litte house . The income is derived primarily from coconut
plantations, coffee near the border of Tabanan , cloves, and
vanilla crops.
Jembrana has always been isolated and largely unffected by
events on the rest of the island . Its history is tied to
Buleleng after the Dutch overran the Regency in 1849 and assumed
control of Jembrana as well. It has looked westward, and is
thus influencedfrom the Muslim & Christian religions.

MEDEWI
Located about 72 kilometers west of Denpasar. The area was
a forest with "Ketket," or thorny trees. The thorny
forest means " Alas Meduwi " in Balinese. Because
of this, people agreed to call it " Meduwi " then
changed into the current name of Medewi. The beach is flat,
stony, and has long rolling waves, so it is very suitable
for surfing and sunset watching
·
RAMBUTSIWI TEMPLE
Is on a cliff top overlooking a breathtaking panorama of paddy
fields on one side and the black sand beach on the other.
Two caves overlook the sea, each with a view of the fisherman's
boats and seabirds hovering above. The temple itself was built
by Dang Hyang Nirartha. According to legend, he made a gift
of his hair to the temple. Hence the name Rambut Siwi, which
literally means " Hair Worship "
· MEKEPUNG ( BUFFALO RACES )
The Mekepung was origiannly held as part of the harvest festivities.
The carts and buffaloes were, until quite recently, still
used for two cars pulled by water buffaloes. The colorfully
decorated animals race on a two - kilometers course.
