Gilimanuk, Bali

Gilimanuk is a ferry port in West Bali. This is where you can catch a ferry to Java. The ferry here is used mostly by the locals. The streets of the port is lined with open-air eateries, called warung, used by travelers waiting for the ferry. One of the attractions of Gilimanuk is the huge, elaborately ornate arch welcoming visitors to Bali.

To the north of Gilimanuk, in the village of Cekik, is Museum Purbakala, the local archaeological museum. It displays sarcophagi and neolithic tools from a prehistoric funerary site nearby. The discoveries here provided evidence of human habitation in the area going back to the pre-Bronze age. The village of Cekik also houses the headquarters of the Taman Nasional Bali Barat.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
