Gala Gala Underground House : Nusa Lembongan

Sunday, March 5th, 2006 by ablteam

One of the most unique attractions on Nusa Lembongan Island is the underground house. Owned by Made Byasa, the house was built underground using only a hammer, chisel and intuition as guidance. It took 15 years to complete this incredible labyrinth, which includes a bedroom, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and sacred meditation room.

Gala Gala underground house is located down a small lane off the main road and it wide enough for motorbike access. Leading up to the entrance of this unique compound there is a collection of art stalls selling an array of local souvenirs such as shorts, sarongs and handicrafts.

Upon entering the compound you will see a notice board explaining the concept of Gala Gala along with a photo of the creator, Made Byasa. Today the site is managed by the direct descendants of this visionary man and features a rest room and stall for refreshments and souvenirs.
