- made friends with some locals there, going back to our first stay at David and Moire's Pacung Indah Hotel quite a few years back. We have also stayed across the road at the Pacung Mountain Resort and thought the accommodation was s bit better but the food at the time was terrible and we ate at the Indah most times. The pool at the Resort is also welcome on the rare occasion that its hot up there.
Its a friendly little village and the locals are quite happy to talk to you but getting around is a bit of a problem. Its very steep to walk anywhere and its also hard to find local transport to hire. When you do the rates are frightening. There is a good bemo service up to Bedugul (and probably beyond) however and its a fun drive with the driver and a gaggle of geese perhaps to talk to. We have had some great conversations on those little buses.
