| The regency of Karangasem has an impressive range of terain and covers about 2,000 square kilometers. The steep rise from the coast up to the mountains creates magical scenary. Dominating the regency is the VolcanoAgung, said to be the "Home" of the Balinese gods. In 1963, the volcano's last eruption killed more than a thousands people and many more people lost their land and became homeless. However, it also has given special value where hundreds of lorries and trucks thunder every day to transport sand stone for building materials. |
