Petulu, Bali

Petulu is a village to the north of Ubud. Unlike the surrounding villages in Central Bali, Petulu's call to fame has nothing to do with handicrafts, but instead birds. This is the place to view the white-plumed egrets and the Java pond egrets. The birds can be seen all over Bali, but by evening they return to Petulu to roost in the trees lining the road.

The birds have chosen Petulu as their home since 1965. It is not known why the birds decided to settle in Petulu.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
