Major city · Indonesia
Budakeling
One day is enough to see the sunrise point, rice terraces and craft workshops; add a night if you want a relaxed stay.
Budakeling sits in East Bali, about 10 min west of Tirta Gangga and halfway to Amed. Its attractions are spread across a small village, so a half‑day visit covers the main sights; a night lets you enjoy sunrise and local crafts.
