Tabanan
By road: from Denpasar take the Gilimanuk and Negara road.
Bus and bemo: good services daily from Denpasar-Ubung.
Tabanan, chief town of the district of the same name, lies 24 km (15 mi.) north-west of Denpasar in a fertile and intensively cultivated region, known as the "rice granary of Bali".
History
The town, or rather its rulers, played an important part during the period when the Dutch were attempting to occupy Bali. A powerful princedom from its earliest days, Tabanan retained its power for centuries and developed, particularly during the reign of Gusti Pandji Sakti (c. 1700), into one of the most influential princedoms on Bali.
