Tampaksiring
By road: from Denpasar north via Celuk.
Bus: direct services from Denpasar several times daily.
Bemo: not recommended (and not always available) from Denpasar; better services from Ubud.
The attraction which draws tourists to the modest little market village of Tampaksiring in central Bali, 78 km (48 mi.) north-east of Denpasar, is the Pura Tirtha Empul, one of the most important source sanctuaries on the island; but it is also noted for the fine wood and bone carvings produced by the villagers, which can be bought all over Bali but are to be found at the best, and probably also their cheapest, in the village itself.
Tampaksiring is a typical central Balinese village with no particularly striking features.
