[citation needed] The main tourism attractions are West Bali National Park, Madewi Beach, Palasari dam, Rambut Siwi temple, and Bunutan agrotourism.

Its ten villages are Belimbingsari (or Blimbingsari), Candikusuma, Ekasari, Gilimanuk, Manistutu, Melaya, Nusasari (or Nusa Sari), Tukadaya, Tuwed and Warnasari.

[7] This district includes the two christian communities, founded on land given by the colonial administration to stop conflicts between newly converted Christians and their original social environment: Belimbingsari ("essence of the star fruit"), founded with 39 families in November 1939; and Palasari ("the place of the nutmeg trees") - which later became a quarter in Ekasari - in September 1940 with 18 people from the village of Tuka and 6 people from Gumbrih (who started the village with a core of 24 families[8]), all fleeing Gianyar.

[11] A study in 1990 notes that these two villages "stand in marked contrast to the adjacent Bali-Hindu desa of Nusasari, where the ‘work-ethic’ is less evident.

[17] It integrates the principles of kosala-kosali,[c] respecting the rules about the cardinal directions in relation to the human anatomy and, in accordance with that principle, its intermediate zone includes supporting buildings (bale kulkul[19] - where the kulkul, or drum from a hollowed tree trunk, replaces the bell[17] - and bale bengong); it applies the principle of tri angga, in harmony with the orientation concept; it uses a fence (penyengker) and barrier walls (kori agung ) with Balinese decorative carvings; the main area of the building is divided according to traditional Balinese temple architecture;[19] Balinese carvings adorn the aling wall, completing its fonction as a repellant to negative energies; many other features follow the same architectural directives as that of a Balinese temple,[20][21] including its ornaments,[22] as well as the way services are conducted:[23] during the service the villagers wear ceremonial clothes traditionally worn in Hindu temples, and gamelan music accompanies the liturgies.

[25] It is also part of a tourism development plan concerning Eka Sari that also includes Palasari Old Church and Goa Maria, and cocoa agrotourism.

[31] In front of the Puri Dajuma Resort in Pekutatan, is a concrete memorial to I Gusti Ngurah Rai, who landed at that spot in 1946 with 95 men to fight the Dutch colonials.

[32][33] The road from Pekutatan going north towards Pupuan, passes through a tunnel made by the aerial roots of a multisecular banyan tree (and not, as often said, through the hollowed trunk).

[39] The jockeys or sais used to wear a headband (destar), shawl and sling (selempod), and a sword tucked in their belt, all of it as reminders of the dress of ancient Balinese royal warriors.

The ploughs are gone and the jockeys ride in their stead small, light carts[37] pulled by a pair of buffalos elaborately adorned.

In Negara, the races are located 10 km south of town, in Perancak, each 28 of the month between July and November, gathering some 250 participants (pepadu) each year.

[43] This series of events has now become a cultural spectacle and a significant contributor to the region's tourism industry - all the more important in the remote west.
