Pangambengan, Bali

Pangambengan is a Muslim village along the bank of the Gading river, in the regency of Negara in western Bali. The area was settled by the Bugis from Sulawesi, and today, you can see the Bugis-style boats lined up along the shore of the village. The Bugis boats have each a miniature mosque at the top of its mast, a reminder of the faith of the people there. Within the village is also a full-size mosque with a big, shiny dome.

As you wander the streets of Pangambengan, you can feel a Middle Eastern flavor to the village, a distinctive difference from villages on the southern part of Bali.
