Tista was originally from the word "Ngetis". The name stems from the wanderings of a son of the king of Tabanan. His wanderings crossed many mountainous areas with hilly terrain and crossed many rivers because at that time there were no open roads like today. On the way he met a powerful ascetic. Then, on the instructions of the hermit, he continued his journey south and finally he arrived at a destination. Because of that place the terrain was bumpy so he returned to the North to look for a flat place to build a palace, then he chose a place which is now called Kerambitan. +

According to previous stories, Wanagiri Village was formed in 1973, which was a merger of three hamlets, namely Alas Ambengan hamlet including Ambengan area, Yeh Ketipat hamlet including Giitgit Village area, and Asah Panji hamlet including Panji Village area. Before Mount Agung erupted in 1963, the Wanagiri Village community's plantation was a wilderness area, at that time there were approximately 10 residents of Asah Panji Hamlet. The ten people found this area as a coffee plantation, so to facilitate administrative affairs they opened a path to Panji Village. Because the area had a large population and at a time when administrative arrangements were very difficult, the three hamlets agreed to form a new village. Each hamlet submitted the name of a candidate for the village, including:
Warnasari Village, with the consideration that those who inhabit this village are a mixture of (immigrants) from various regions/districts and various different castes.
Catursari Village, with the consideration that the people who inhabit this village are different castes such as: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras

Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) is the largest cultural park in Bali. It is located approximately 40 kilometers from the city of Denpasar, in the village of Ungasan, Bukit Jimbaran, South Kuta. GWK extends over 240 hectares and regularly features traditional art performances (kecak dance, barong dance etc.) and modern art (Viral Fest Asia, Soundrenaline, Dreamfields etc.). GWK Cultural Park is one of the tourist attractions in Bali which is currently a favorite non-coastal destination.
The statue of the God Vishnu statue riding a Garuda (Statue of GWK) has become a magnet for tourists from abroad. The Statue of GWK was made with almost 3000 tons of copper by Balinese artist, I Nyoman Nuarta, at a budget of around Rp 450 billion. The GWK statue was conceived of in 1989, but the laying of the first stone only began in 1997 in Ungasan Village, Bukit Jimbaran by I Nyoman Nuarta and Joob Ave. Technically, the GWK statue was completed on August 1, 2018, but welding was still needed as a 'finishing' so that the 754 pieces of copper-bronze plates would be completely integrated. The GWK Statue was finally completed a few days later and was inaugurated on September 22, 2018 by President Jokowidodo. The statue reaches 121 meters wide by 64 meters. Reputedly, this statue is the third tallest statue in the world today. According to Nyoman Nuarta, the statue is a symbol of the goal of saving the environment: Wisnu is the inspiration for preserving nature and harmony while Garuda is a symbol of sacrifice and glory. Humans promise to nurture, develop and protect the environment. Humans can destroy and improve it. +

Gunung Agung (Mount Agung) is the highest mountain on the small Indonesian island of Bali. Although peaks rise higher on Irian Jaya, Sumatra, Lombok, and Java, Bali's status as Indonesia's most popular tourist destination makes Agung perhaps the most-climbed high peak in the country.
Agung is a volcano with an enormous and very deep crater that occasionally vents out smoke and steam. The highest point is on the southwest part of the rim, a barren and rocky hill of fine volcanic rock. The summit area is above the treeline, due to the high winds and sterilizing effects of recent volcanic activity, but it is my understanding that the summit never sees any snow. Still, the weather of the surrounding rainforests of Bali is almost always cloudy, and the potentially awesome view of the entire island spread out beneath you is extrmely rare. Rinjani (12,224'/3726m) on the neighboring island of Lombok is often visble above the clouds, though. The most commonly given altitude for Agung is 3142m/10,308', but this is an old elevation that does not take into account a volcanic eruption in 1963. When I was on Bali, I calibrated my altimeter to zero at sea level, and found the summit to be 2920 m. I reset it to 3142 m, but back at sea level it read -222 m. I had nver experienced my altimter to be that far off, so was stumped until someone saw my account on the web and told me that the real elevation is 3014 m, so my altimeter was only off by 94 m, still a bit, but not as bad as I thought. +
Gunung Batukaru, sometimes spelled Batukau, is Bali's second-highest mountain at 2,276 m. It is the highest peak in the Bedugul volcanic area, but is dormant. Batukaru is worshipped by the Balinese, and has a temple, Pura Luhur Batukaru, devoted to it. Batukaru is relatively unpopular with climbers as it is covered in a dense forest which restricts views. Batukaru has a large crater, the largest on Bali, but this crater is open at the southern end, allowing the river Mawa to escape. It is this that gives it the name "Batukaru", which means "coconut shell" in Balinese. +
Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is an active volcano located at the center of two concentric calderas north west of Mount Agung on the island of Bali, Indonesia.
