The Agung Region, located on the north-eastern side of Bali, is probably the calmest and less touristy region of the island. Most of the hotels are located in the sleepy & hilly town of Amed. This place is ideal to find peace and quiet. It is probably less frequented because the beach is actually made of ash sediments from the volcano, and the sand is black. However, there is great snorkling to be done, and a shipwrek can be seen, snorkling from the coast!
The main sights, located in beautiful landscapes, are Pura BesakihTemple (At the foot of Sacred Gunung Agung) and the water palace. Of course, near Amed, the main trek to be done is the hike up the highest volcano of Bali: Gunung Agung!
