For me as a suberopolitan the most impressive were the last minutes before arrival, passing through a native bamboo forest, like our arrival at the international airport of Salvador and the most impressive welcome/bye from Brazil!
This put, Penglipuran is an ancient village next to a Hindu temple.
The particularity of this village, which obviously grew around, is the fact that people still live in each "house", which more looks like a market box, being all of them numbered and indicating how many people live in them.
Less than an hour from the center of Ubud, depending on traffic, the visit is usually part of tour packages for those who visit the region.
Entrance costs 50,000 rupees.

The village is interesting, both for how it is cared for but also for all the internal management of families very curious to discover.
The walk inside the bamboo forest is also very beautiful.
Too bad to perceive the tourist aspect of the thing, because in the end the people who let you into their property, more than for a convivial spirit, do it to sell you something you find in any market.
Anyway it is worth the visit.

For the first time, we visited the Casting Village, which was named the world's three cleanest villages. And it has proven to be really clean, authentic, beautiful, and unique that is combined with Bali's typical culture and architecture. In addition, this village is home to consoles that go green and are not contaminated by motor vehicles. The history of the designation of the "melting village" has also been an attraction for Travellers, which began with the escape of the king of jayapangus to the village as a comforter of sorrow or lara. For by-by or cendramata that is offered the local residents are also affordable according to the Traveler's rates even cheaper than some famous by-by figures with similar products such as d*wat* and jog*r.

Very beautiful and unique. Every single house is connected to their neighbors and every single house has its very unique design. Although you need to pay to get into the village and although every house sell something, I think it is still worth of visiting this village. but if you want to buy something remember to bargain it HARD. we bought something which was 4 times more expensive than buying in shops...

We stopped by here from our trip to natural hot springs and it was a very nice evening stroll. It tends to get crowded as it is a very popular spot. It was very interesting to see traditional Balinese homes. They do sell various souvenirs and refreshments

This traditional village recently received a tourism award and international recognition. The village is not too big, so maybe just 15 minutes of exploring will be done. However, if you want to spend more time, you have to explore the bamboo forest. Come in the morning, not in the afternoon. Don't forget to buy the local specialty drink called Loloh Cemcem. If you want to rent typical clothes for photos, you can do it there too.

1st time here! finally after a long time, every time I went to Bali I wanted to come here but it never happened🥲 it's really good, there are lots of objects and shops related to Balinese culture and customs, as the name suggests, Penglipuran "Traditional" Village. Apart from that, the place is also clean, there are lots of shops and clothes produced by Balinese MSMEs, as well as places to snack and eat, so you don't need to worry about going hungry🥰👍🏾✨

Our extended family visited the village and were very impressed. As advertised, there is no vehicle traffic on the street, and it is very clean. The building and monuments are very well maintained for a place supposedly 700 years old. We also found the inhabitants to be very friendly. Actually, each house along the main street is a shop selling some kind of food, drink, or souvenir.
Perhaps what has protected the village is its distance from the main tourist area of southern Bali. It takes close to two hours to get to the village from the Kuta area.
We did not have time to visit the bamboo forest on the north side of the village, but did drive through it. The quantity of bamboo was impressive and made virtual tunnels over the road in places.

Penglipuran is a traditional village in the Bangli Regency of Bali. It has the distinction "the cleanest best village". It is beautifully laid out and also quite green. Unfortunately, it was very crowded. You have the opportunity to get an insight into the individual houses. It's best to check in at the houses where there are no stalls. It'll be quieter.

Hi,
We're thinking of visiting Penglipuran. how much time should we give the village and the bamboo forest? would 2 hours be enough? so we can plan the rest of our Ubud visit.
Written June 5, 2019
Yes two hours will be enough, the Forest is right next door to the village. My Ubud driver / guide also took me to a waterfall ( with a few steps ) close by before returning to Ubud.
