Every month of June, they really like to celebrate with a calendar with dance, ceremony and a host of visual extravaganzas. The month’s celebrations peak, on the 24 and 25 th of the month, culminating in two days of extraordinary activity as the parang pandan or pandan wars take place. Tenganan is just a couple of miles from Candidasa on the east coast, a comfortable drive from the south or of course a great place to stop for a day or two.
THE ELEPHANT PARK The Elephant Park celebrates - The well loved Bali Elephant Park recently celebrated its twenty years of existence with a day of celebration and special events at the Taro Park. From 1997, rescued Sumatran elephants have been rehomed and are living a comfortable existence within the confines of the Park. Visitors can take a ride and feed these perky pachaderms or even give them a good scrub in the pool. While no life can duplicate a wild life in the jungle, the animals here seem to live happily and everyone enjoys a visit.. info@masonadventures.com UbudLife 19
