Penglipuran Bali
"A Paradise of Eternal Culture and Traditional Authenticity"
“A Paradise of Eternal Culture and Traditional” Every name holds a story, and Penglipuran Village is no exception. The name of this village is believed to originate from two sacred words in ancient Balinese: Pengeling, which means “remembering,” and Pura, which means “sacred place” or “ancestor.”
Overall, Penglipuran means “a place to always remember and honor ancestors” — a philosophy that is more than just a name, but the very soul of its residents’ lives. Every step in this village is a reminder of their roots, identity, and loyalty to their ancestral heritage.
