Jembrana is the least popular region
in Bali, barely visited by tourists. Most of the
land is covered by the forested highlands of Bali’s
National Park. The villages have fresh air, partly
due to the mass of flowering bushes.
Jembrana Regency is located in the western of Bali
with Negara as the capital city. It consists of
4 sub-districts: Melaya, Mendoyo, Pekutatan, Negara
and divided into 51 villages/ administrative villages.
Jembrana covers 841,8 square km of land. Total population
is more than 220.000 people with the average density
is 261 people square km. Most of the people are
living in agriculture sector and the income is derived
primarily from coconut plantations, coffee, cloves,
and vanilla crops.
Jembrana is possibly the most ethnically heterogeneous
regency in Bali. The Loloan area is inhabited by
a Malay-speaking people of Bugis descent. There
are also many Balinese Christians and definitely
plenty of traditional Balinese communities, mainly
in the rice-growing areas of the regency. |

| Geography |
| Jembrana regency comprises two main
regions: a large mountainous area in the north which
is part of The West Bali National Park and the coastal
area in the south. The sand on the coastline is
mostly volcanic, but there are also many beautiful
white coral beaches especially at Medewi. Southern
Jembrana also has some of the most beautiful rice
terraces on the island. |
