Majesty of Mount Agung

This shot was taken from Gumang Hill and Wikipedia says:

Mount Agung or Gunung Agung is a mountain in Bali. This stratovolcano is the highest point on the island. It dominates the surrounding area influencing the climate. The clouds come from the west and Agung takes their water so that the west is lush and green and the east dry and barren.

Gunung Agung last erupted in 1963-64 and is still active, with a large and very deep crater which occasionally belches smoke and ash. From a distance, the mountain appears to be perfectly conical, despite the existence of the large crater.

From the peak of the mountain, it is possible to see the peak of Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok, although both mountains are frequently covered in cloud.

The lava flows missed, sometimes by mere yards, the Mother Temple of Besakih. The saving of the temple is regarded by the Balinese people as miraculous and a signal from the gods that they wished to demonstrate their power but not destroy the monument the Balinese faithful had erected. However, over 1,000 people were killed and a number of villages were destroyed in this eruption.

Saturday, October 20th, 2007 by baliwww.com

The magic of Ayodya Resort Bali almost defies description. At Ayodya Resort Bali, we painstakingly blend the hospitality and grace of Bali’s engaging people with Ayodya standards of excellence. We serve up a generous amount of traditional Ayodya magic. Add a touch of Bali mystique. And the perfect recipe for comfort, quiescence and indulgence is created.

The resort offers its guests a uniquely Balinese experience. The Ramayana, the great Hindu epic that tells the story of Rama and his bride Shinta, is retold in the magnificent architecture of Ayodya Resort Bali. The resort is designed to resemble a Balinese water palace in all its grandeur. Magnificent stone statues, resplendent fountains and stunning lagoon pools welcome you on arrival. Beautiful bas-relief and carved stone sculptures are featured throughout the landscape. These tell the enchanting tales of the Monkey King Sugriwa, the Monkey Prince Subali and the clever Monkey General Hanuman.

Located in the heart of Nusa Dua, a secluded yet luxurious resort development in the South of Bali, the hotel enjoys a stunning position overlooking the Indian Ocean. Bali’s secret mountain Gunung Agung can be tantalizingly glimpsed in the distance and immediately adjacent sits the Bali Golf and Country Club.

Ayodya Resort Bali enjoys an extensive range of restaurants, bars, sports and leisure activities as well as meeting facilities. In short it is the ideal complete resort.
