Description and is it worth a visit
On the east bank, on the way to Padang Bai and Chandidas, there is a small home-made salt farm along the road, where salt is produced in the traditional way for these places. Here it is not extracted from mines from underground, as in our country, but evaporated from seawater. I.e. in fact it is sea salt, but I use it as a regular cook in kitchens.
You can stop here for a few minutes just to see the ancient evaporation technology. There is even a small street market of "natural salt" where you can buy salt, one bag costs $ 1. Although, of course, there is nothing special about it, because it is no more natural than the salt that lies on the shelves of the store. But as a souvenir it can be interesting, besides, by buying salt, you support this place.

🚶 How to get there
Salt Farm is located in the northeast of Bali, 45 kilometers from Kuta, the airport and other tourist areas (salt farm on the map). This is quite a long distance by local standards: it takes almost an hour to drive by car, and on a motorbike you will spend almost 2 in one direction. It is much closer to go here from Ubud or Padang Bai. In any case, wherever you go, we advise you to include other places in your visit along the way. You can upload points of interest from our Bali map to yandex.navigator and use them to navigate and create a route.
If you do not rent a transport, then you can get here with a private guide or a ready-made excursion. It is easy to find private guides with their own car in Bali at a hotel or any travel agency. Yes, they will find you themselves and will offer trips along standard routes or as you want. The price is negotiable, for a day trip you can negotiate for $ 50 for the whole car, not for each person.
