This place is located in a strategic position because it is located in the middle of the city, shopping center in Klungkung, traditional markets, government offices in Klungkung and is located alongside Kertha Gosa. If we are from Denpasar City, we can take the street from By Pass Ngurah Rai Street.
From By Pass Ngurah Rai Street, we can follow the path untill we found the straight street towards to the north, until we reach in Batubulan. From there, we can take the road to the By Pass Prof. Ida Bagus Mantra Street. In the street we can enjoy the beautiful view of the Bali South Coast.
