PIKIRAN RAKYAT - Bali, also known as the Island of the Gods, will soon welcome a magnificent new tourism icon: the Turyapada KBS 6.0 Kerthi Bali Tower (Turyapada Tower). The 115-meter-high tower is targeted to be completed in early July 2024 and is ready to amaze tourists with its special charm.
Located in the Turyapada Technology Park Area of the Bali Smarts 6.0 Kert Bali Communication Tower, precisely in Amerta Sari Traditional Village, Buleleng Regency, Turyapada Tower offers amazing Bali natural panorama from the height of 1.636 meters above sea level.
The name 'Turyapada' was chosen because it symbolizes the relationship between Akasa-Pertiwi- and Purusa-Pradana, which is the source of strength and life of the Balinese people. The shape of this tower is also inspired by Orti and Bale Kul-Kul, the traditional communication media of the Balinese people in various customary, religious, traditional, artistic, and cultural activities.
The Turyapada Tower can easily accessed from various directions, both from Denpasar and Gilimanuk, using several types of vehicles.
Here are some of the routes
- From Ngurah Rai International Airport: The journey takes about 3-4 hours by passing through Ngurah Rai Airport Access Road, Ngurah Rai Airport Road, Ngurah Rai Bypass Road, and so on
- From Gilimanuk Port: The journey takes about 2.5-3 hours by passing through Jalan Raya Singaraja Gilimanuk, Jalan Melati, Jalan Bantas Telusuri, and so on
Turyapada Tower is designed as an international tourism icon, like Monas Towe in Jakarta, Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The tower will be divided into six zones, such as
- Educational Zone: Provides a variety of educational information about Balinese culture and history
- Communal Zone: An open space to relax and enjoy the natural scenery
- Commercial Zone (UMKM) Accommodates various local Balinese UMKM products
- Recreative Zone: Provides a variety of game rides and entertainment for families
- Management Zone: The area for the management and operation of the tower
- Plantation Zone: A green area planted with various local Balinese plants
More than Just a Tourism Icon
The construction of the Turyapada Tower not only aims to be a new tourism icon, but also to increase access to digital television and internet signals in the North Bali region, especially in Buleleng Regency.
