Things to do around Negara
Enjoy the drive
​
The early morning is a beautiful time to be driving the road between Medewi and Negara: in so many places it's flanked by rice paddies, and the forested hills of West Bali National Park are in the distance. Look out for farmers using buffaloes to plough the paddies – very picturesque!
Head to the races
​
Mekopung, or buffalo chariot races, are very popular Sunday events, particularly around July and August. Expect decorated buffaloes, bright chariots, and lots of blood, sweat and dust.
Snap colourful boats
​
The fishing boats at Perancak are spectacular and unlike any others you'll see around the island. Take a drive out this way, stop for lunch at one of the simple restaurants at the river mouth, and go boat-spotting.
