Bali is a small island across the
strait at the eastern end of Java, the main island- it's a three-hour
flight from Singapore. Bali has the Indian Ocean on the south and the
Bali Sea on the north separated by mountains that rise over 2000m
(6600ft). Gunung Agung, the active "mother" volcano rises to over 3100m
(10300ft).
Bali, often referred to as the Island of the Gods, is
a land of fiery volcanoes and fertile valleys shrouded in mist.
Terraced rice paddies line deep gorges while resorts dot the shoreline.
Fruits and vegetables are plentiful and sounds of the gamelan are never
far away. The emphasis in Bali is on harmony and culture. This divine
island has much to offer yet most visitors go no further than the
southern beaches. There is much to see here and accommodation is
available to fit every budget. Temples, flanked by walled courtyards,
outnumber houses and beautifully landscaped water gardens peer out
invitingly from homes and businesses. It's hard to imagine a more
picturesque island than Bali. There's enough room on Bali for everyone, the surfing is great, the food amaizing, it's dirt cheap, the parties are great, the locals are some of the friendliest in the world. There's a volcano to climb and there are temples to see. For those looking for a move active tropical vacation, Bali is the place to go. The weather remains pretty constant all year round through April to October.
