Bali Vacation Guide
You only have to hear the word Bali, and the mind already wonders into a dreamlike place, where worries drift away and sun and sand are life’s only concerns. It’s an iconic island, an alien yet relaxing part of Indonesia that’s home to fascinating cultures and perfect desert-island days.
While you’ll be tempted to spend your entire trip lying on the beach and drinking things out of a coconut with a straw, there’s a whole lot more that’s worth exploring. If you’re rich and famous, hire a seaplane or a helicopter, get yourself a beachside villa and enjoy a relatively affordable life of luxury in an untouchable paradise. For us mere mortals, the dreamy underwater world on offer from the numerous dive companies – a chance to see tumbling turtles and gaudy reefs – is an equally other-worldy taste of this tropical delight.
It would be a shame to come all this way and not delve into this remarkable culture, though, something that’s easy enough to track down in the form of traditional dance performances, ancient theatre customs, and plenty of must-have souvenirs like wood carvings or extraordinary local clothing. There are over 20,000 temples in Bali, which means there’s plenty of wiggle room when it comes to tracking down your own and having a genuinely unique experience, something that’s well worth the effort.
It’s the natural landscape that made Bali’s name, though, and it will be the natural landscape that will leave an indelible mark on the visitors mind. It’s not just beaches; there are towering volcanoes, verdant tropical forests full of monkeys, dramatic steep sided ravines, startling crater lakes, holy caves, fast-flowing rivers and paddy fields that seem to stretch on forever. Hire a motorbike and make your own way amongst it all, and you’ll find yourself stopping sporadically to pinch yourself, just to be sure it’s all real.
If you really want to dig deep, there are even the traditional tooth filings and ceremonial cremations to take in, though they’re not for the faint hearted. Welcome to a vibrant, colorful paradise; get ready to be amazed.
