Agro-tourism
in Bedugul
 Bedugul
is not only interesting because of
its enchanting lake view, but also
because of agribusiness activities
available there. You can buy oranges,
flowers, herbs and other harvested
agricultural produce there. Mr. Ketut
Darmika, a prominent agro-tour operator,
has successfully developed a tour
package around the citrus farms in
Bedugul and adjacent areas. “The
tourists are deeply touched when they
have a chance to pick oranges directly
from the tree and taste its delicious
flesh,” Darmika said. (BTN/028)

The
Beaches
 GILIMANUK
– Many tourists both coming from
both overseas and other parts of Indonesia
from Java to Bali through Gilimanuk
would certainly be shocked to see
the beaches of this west Bali ferry
port, full of rubbish scattered carelessly
to the detriment of the environment
as shown in the photo. Seen in the
photo a motorbike parked with a T-shirt
probably used by the bike’s owner
to shade himself. This critical photo
is complimentary to Arnold Huijsen,
a Dutchman engaged with Papa’s
Wind Surf Center, Gilimanuk, on the
western tip of this Island of Gods
(*).

turtle’s into the ocean involves
three steps. First the turtle eggs

community, government representatives,
LSM, and KSDA. Seen in the picture,
