Sebatu is a village as well as the name of the surrounding area in Central Bali. It is renowned for its painted wood sculptures as well as for its dances. The village is laid out in a grid. The village temples and community pavilion, or bale banjar, are located on the northern part of the village.

Woodcarvers workshops are located on the western part of Sebatu. Also on the western outskirts of the village is the beautiful spring temple, Pura Gunung Kawi, slightly similar in name but different from the Gunung Kawi Royal Monuments. The temple has a number of bathing springs and a carp-filled spring pool.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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