Bali's Award-Winning Penglipuran Village Reopens; Hopes up for Economic Recovery

The village shot to fame after it was anointed as a model village attraction in Indonesia, for which it has also won the Kalpataru Award.

In 2016, the village in Bali was selected as the third-cleanest village in the world, according to the international magazine Boombastic.
