Situated in West Bali, the town of Negara serves as the capital of the remote Jembrana region. The town is surrounded by unspoilt jungle blanketing undulating hills interwoven with rice paddies and fringed by pristine beaches. It is known for its annual buffalo races and bamboo gamelan, a form of traditional Balinese ensemble music. Visitors can look forward to soaking up the impressive Balinese architecture of the Bugis Houses in the town, visit the nearby West Bali National Park and view Madurese-style fishing boats, colourful boats moored at the village of Pangambengan.
