Bangli, Administrative regency in central Bali, Indonesia.
Bangli is an administrative regency in central Bali that spreads across mountainous land with villages and local communities throughout. The area divides into four administrative districts, each with its own settlement pattern and traditional marketplaces.
The region functioned as one of Bali's nine independent kingdoms before 1907, governing its central territories with its own leadership. Dutch colonial administration later brought this period of autonomy to an end.
The Pura Kehen Temple stands as the spiritual heart where locals gather to practice their Hindu faith through daily rituals and seasonal celebrations. The stone carvings and layered design you see when walking through it show how communities have expressed their beliefs through craftsmanship across generations.
The best way to explore the region is visiting the different villages and markets with local guides to experience daily life and community rhythms. The higher areas can be cool and misty, especially in early mornings, so bring layers and be prepared for changing weather.
Archaeological digs in Manikliyu have uncovered burial systems and objects that reveal settlement patterns older than previously thought in this part of Bali. These discoveries show the region has a deeper historical presence that helps explain early island life.
