Bangli

The cool, mountainous regency of Bangli was long rought over by rulers from neighboring kingdoms, for here lies Lake Batur, the major source of irrigation water for most of South and East Bali and parts of the north. The ruling house emerged during the early years of the Klungkung kingdom during the 1700s to which it is related. In the mid 1800s Bangli sought Dutch protection from Klungkung, Karangasem, and Buleleng, but by the end of the 19th century it was joining its farmer enemies against powerful Mengwi to the west. Due to its early recognition of the Dutch, Bangli was spared during the conquest of South Bali in the early 1900s. The steady ascent through Bangli passes through tidy villages and roads lined with groves of bamboo and coffee. In Bangli town the ancient Kehen temple is under a huge banyan tree.

Tabanan of Bali

Tabanan has its roots in the 14th century when Jananese invaders settled in the area. As they expanded their teritory, they came into conflict with the Mengwi house, founded during the mid 1600s with the fall of Gelgel and allied with Buleleng. In the 18th century Mengwi was the 2nd most powerful royal house after Klungkung, whose support it enjoyed. Internal conflict in he late 1700s weakened Mengwi and led to territorial losses to Tabanan which were retaken in the mid 1800s. By the late 1800s further conflict erupted and Klungkung with drew its support,

opening the way for its destruction by Klungkung, Badung, Tabanan, Bangli and the Dutch. Tabanan got most of Mengwi, but rising Dutch interests in Bali and the refusal of Tabanan to give in led to its end in 1906 with the imprisonment and suicide of the ruler and his son. Krambitan village has 2 places, puppet - style paintings, and the exciting tektekan exorcist dance drama with music from struck bamboo and giant wooden cowbell.
