Penglipuran Village

Jalan Penglipuran, Kubu, Bali

Description

Penglipuran is a traditional village in the Bangli regency of Bali. It is fully renovated and welcomes tourists to its neatly arranged row of traditional houses that follows a typical arrangement. A majority of the houses now house souvenir shops or restaurants.

Access & Transport

The village is 5km straight north of Bangli, 600m from the main road (turn left) heading toward Kintamani. There is parking onsite. It is located a 50mins drive away from Ubud and 1h30 from South Bali.

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining a visit there with Pura Kehen in Bangli and/or Tirta Empul.

Meta review

The village receives mixed online reviews. Many visitors describe it as a "beautiful traditional village" with well-maintained and clean houses providing an interesting insight into the local lifestyle whereas other acknowledge the quaintness of the architecture but find there is actually little to learn or do and lament the fact that most houses have been turned into tourist shops.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally neutral. Completely commercialized but does provide employment and revenues to the local community

Conclusion

If you are looking for genuine, you can look elsewhere. The house and village look like a set up for tourists, some won't mind but we just did not see the point, nor the rationale for levying an admission fee given it is full of shops inside.
