Welcome to KLUNGKUNG REGENCY
Bali's smallest district , Klungkung lies on the south-eastern coast , and includes the island of Nusa Penida , Nusa Lemongan and Ceningan.
Klungkung town is bustling commercial center of which its focal point is the Kertha Gosa, the Hall of justice. A magnificent example of Klungkung architecture , it is surrounded by a moat and is decorated with paintings on its ceilings in the besi tradition of the Klungkung style.
An impressive palace , showcasing its stupendous Bale Kambang ( or Floating Pavilion) , stands adjacent to the Kertha Gosa. Its painted ceilings depict the legend of the hero Sutasoma and his sacrifices, and of Pan and Men Brayut , known as the couple who had too many off springs.
Kamasan village is a few kilometers outside Klungkung. It has long been the bastion of traditional paintings. The themes derived from Balinese variations of the ancient Hindu epics , the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
This style also been adapted for large versions of the zodiac and lunar calendars. Kamasan paintings take their essential characteristics from the wayang tradition. To see a good collection of Kamasan classical paintings , visit the Gunarsa Museum at the crossroads to Tihingan , just before Klungkung.
A few kilometers east is Goa Lawah , the Bat Cave. This cave is crammed with thousands of bats which are unseen but certainly not unheard during the day. The cave is part of a temple that is said to lead all the way to Besakih but it's unlikely that anyone would be interested in investigating!
Beyond Klungkung is the coastal village of Kusumba. Kusumba is one of the embarkation points to the islands of Nusa Penida , Nusa Lembongan , and Nusa Ceningan. The journey from Kusamba or Sanur to these islands takes a couple of hours.

Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida has, unfortunately , acquired a somewhat eerie reputation , as it was once the place of banishment for criminals and undesirables from the Kingdom of Klungkung.
Penida attracts a number of visitors for its seclusion , surf and snorkeling. Few facilities exist for tourists , just a few losmen and a number of small warung.
The island , however , has some interesting temples , including the Pura Ped near ToyahPakeh and Pura Batukunig near Sewana. There is also a huge limestone cave , Goa Karangsari , about a kilometer from Sewana.

Nusa Lembongan
The market town of Toyahpakeh also has a ferry crossing to Nusa Lembongan. The friendly people of Lembongan have welcomed tourism. For those looking for white sandy beaches and a laid-back atmosphere , Nusa Lembongan is paradise. The waters around Lembongan are crystal clear , the sand is white and the shallow coves are brimming with colorful coral and sea life , making it an ideal located for snorkeling.
The Waka Nusa Resort , run by Wakalouka Cruises , is found in a small bay along with a small nearby losmen called Mushroom Cottages , a simple retreat for surfers and travelers.

Nusa Ceningan
Nusa Ceningan , which is the smallest of the three islands , is rarely visited.
