My friend's name is Komang and he works at Catra New Beach Restaurant in Candi Dasa.

The website is in Dutch, which is the nationality of the owner. If you click on Klik hier you get a useful map of Candi Dasa, showing the restaurant and the Tenganan turnoff.
Komang looks quite modern, but he is a man of the village and his mother is a traditional weaver. He also takes his duties seriously and is an excellent guide. We went to Tenganan on the back of his and one of his mate's motorbikes. Our instructions, "Hati hati, pelan pelan". [Be careful, go slowly.] No problems! You are welcome to take photos and video in the village and will be encouraged to buy some double ikat material. Not cheap, but unique to Tenganan and a treasured possession, long after the price is forgotten.
