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.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
