In Reply to: things to do in Amed?? posted by ibulol on Wednesday, 22. October 2008 at 13:14 Bali Time:
Snorkelling all around Candi Dasa, Lipah, Amed etc. Hire of gear costs about Rp20,000 per day. Tepekong Island and two smaller neighbours are easily visible from the beach-front hotels about a mile off-shore. Good for diving but be quiet as the fish spook easily.
See the view from the headland just to the east of the town. It's a steep walk and a bit of an adventure but the view from the top, if you make it, is a bit special. Follow the extra long extension cord to the small hut about halfway up and wonder at its real purpose.
Walk up into the hills behind the town. Beautiful landscapes. Very tranquil. Trekking through rice fields or to local temples are for the fairly fit as most of this area is very much up and down.
Visit Bali Aga (original inhabitants) village at Tenganan and others. See ikat and double ikat weaving, lontar scrolls done as they have been for centuries, smoked weaving of canes and grasses into place mats etc,near Karangasem which is near Amed.
