With
Amed at mid point, the rugged coastline marks the northeast
boundary of Bali's largest regency. Reminder of the
grand old days of kings and courts, the palace at Amlapura
and the royal bathing pools of Ujung and Tirtagangga. On the road to
Amed the mountain peak and tumble into spectacular rice
terraces where the hand of man has consummated the Balinese
extraordinary marriage with nature. And the always
mighty Gunung Agung, Bali's most holy and tallest mountain,
towers and dominates the landscape. The north road
to Amed meanders past the timeless coastal activity of salt
making. Amed can also be reached via Ujung by the back road
which winds high above tiny secluded bays where thousands of
rainbow-colored "jukung" outriggers rest.
