Enjoy your Summer Holiday in Bali!

 

Bali has everything from sybaritic pleasures like Seminyak and Kerobokan to wild beaches in the south and nudist beach life on Nusa Lembongan. In Sanur, you can enjoy family-friendly activities, or on Bukit Peninsula, you can indulge in lavish getaways. East and west Bali share the island’s most beautiful rice fields and ancient monuments with Ubud, the center of Bali’s culture. Although the north and west of Bali are sparsely populated, they have some of the best diving and surfing in the world.

 

 

 

Explore Bali

 

Tegalalang Rice Terrace

One of Bali’s most popular and photogenic destinations is Tegalalang Rice Terrace, 20 minutes north of Ubud. In this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can see wide, undulating layers of rice paddies maintained by a sophisticated irrigation system and farmers who tend the terraces just as their ancestors have for millennia. Get some fresh air by strolling or sitting at an open-air cafe.

 

 

Pura Lempuyang Luhur

Nearly unnoticed by tourists, Lempuyang Temple is an ancient seven-temple complex in eastern Bali, best known for the Gate to Heaven that frames Mount Agung, the island’s highest peak. The temple is a major Hindu pilgrimage site, and it is one of Bali’s most majestic sights at sunrise.

 

 

Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall

Getting to the recently opened Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall in Northern Bali is a bit of a challenge. Driving to the site from Ubud requires at least 90 minutes, and hiking through banana plantations takes 20 minutes. In exchange for your effort, you’ll see a lush forest hidden behind a quartet of grand waterfalls that are somehow not overrun by crowds once you’ve completed the hike. Among the waterfalls, the main one is the most impressive. It is an amphitheater of verdant rock with misty streams cascading into a shallow pool.

 

 

Ubud Monkey Forest

There are more than 1000 long-tailed Balinese macaques in their natural habitat in Ubud Monkey Forest, which looks like an open-air zoo. Despite the monkeys’ cantankerous behavior, Balinese Hindus who come to pray in the complex’s three ancient temples consider the primates sacred, as they are attracted to jewelry, bags, and conspicuous food.

 

 

Tirta Gangga

A former palace turned lavish water garden, Tirta Gangga looks like it has existed for several centuries, but the Karangasem family conceived the project in 1946. In spite of its remote location in east Bali, travelers still enjoy its magical fountains, shrubs, sculptures, and flowers, as well as positioning themselves on octagonal stepping stones and feeding the carp.

 

 

Gunung Kawi Temple

Along the Pakerisan River, near Ubud, Gunung Kawi is a complex of courtyards and shrines carved into the cliffs. An ancient Hindu site is surrounded by myths and theories, one of which claims Kebo Iwa carved the intricate reliefs with his fingernails. This jungle-enshrouded marvel will require some walking, but the reward is enormous, especially in the morning.

 

 

Beji Guwang Hidden Canyon

There is a sacred Balinese site called Beji Guwang Hidden Canyon, a ravine based in the Sukawati district of Bali. There is a series of mid-rise canyons lining the Oos River beyond the ticketed entrance where you can climb, wade, swim, and scale your way through a rocky-tropical landscape unlike anything else on the island.

 

 

Mount Batur

One of the most dramatic destinations in Bali filled with natural beauty is Mount Batur. In this 5,600-foot volcanic marvel lies Bali’s most spectacular crater lake and slopes that are ideal for hiking and cycling. A spectacular sunrise can be seen from the peak.

 

 

Sukawati Art Market

There are also less expensive and quieter options available in southern Bali, such as Sukawati Art Market. Handcrafted artworks are available for sale, ranging from framed paintings of local farm life to large wooden sculptures of Hindu deities. If you’re looking for bargains on vibrant patterned dresses, accessories, home goods, and totes for all tastes, it’s the perfect place for you.
