2006-01-21
[Bangli Cultural And Tourist Office]
Penglipuran is a traditional village at the administrative village of Kubu village. The air is fresh because it is located at 700 meters above sea level. From historical point of view, according to the village elders, the words 'Penglipuran' is drived from the words 'Pengeling Pura' means a holy place for remembering their ancestors.
|  It is reasonable since their ancestors came from Bayung Gede Village, still in Kintamani district. since from Bayung Gede to Penglipuran is quite along distance therefore the people of Penglipuran, established the same temple as the temple in Bayung Gede. We can drow conclusion from this matter that the people of Penglipuran is still remembering their origin.
| Another opinion stated that 'Penglipuran' is derived from the word 'Penglipuran' means 'relaxation' since on the royal period this place was good spot for resting place.
This village has cultural potency which is up to the present time still well preserved in the form of traditional Balinese buildings; which differentiate this village from others.
|  The population is 743 person, most of them are farmers and just few as civil servants. dances and handicrafts are well developed in this remote village.
This village can be reached through roads connecting district of Bangli with Kintamani. From Bangli town to the north up to Kubu village about 5 kilometers, then have a left turn, one will arrive at Penglipuran and will be received with warm welcome by the villagers.
