3+3+Bali: Penglipuran Village
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 08:00 - 18:30
The Vibe:The world's cleanest village hides nothing 🌿
Recognised among the three cleanest villages on the planet, Penglipuran blends immaculate traditional Balinese architecture with a living community that still follows 700-year-old customs. It sits in the Bangli highlands, a quiet counterpoint to Bali's busier attractions.
Spotless stone pathways stretch between identical carved gates as bamboo rustles from the forest behind. The cool highland air smells of incense and earth, and the only traffic is birdsong.
