Bali Travel & Information Guide

Bali Travel Guide (by Chris Walker Innerwealth)

Exotic Bali, long a popular holiday destination, is one of the more than 14,000 islands that comprise the Republic of Indonesia and the focus of our complete Bali travel guide. Surrounded by the Bali Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Java Sea, this verdant island was formed by a chain of volcanoes, creating spectacular mountain ranges and breathtaking vistas of deep green rice terraces, shimmering blue lakes, and surf-fringed beaches. Steep slopes predominate in the north, while the fertile southern hillsides are the centre of Bali’s agricultural culture. Bali has a tropical monsoon climate, with temperatures year-round falling between 20°C and 33°C. The dry season, from June through September, is blessed with balmy days and cool nights. October through March is the rainy season, with high humidity and heavy showers. Balinese is the national language and currency is the Rupiah.

Whether you want to lounge on a gorgeous beach, rock the night away in hip little clubs, visit spectacular historic sites, or hike through incredible rainforests and up breathtaking mountains, Bali holidays are the perfect destination of choice. Surf, scuba dive, golf, or visit the amazing historic and natural attractions of this island paradise. Cultural and commercial centre Ubud is a mecca for travellers from celebrities to artists to backpackers, all drawn by the stunning temples, art galleries, palaces, and rice terraces that grace this exotically cosmopolitan little city. The lovely beaches, vibrant resorts, and white-hot nightlife of Kuta, Legian Beach, and Nusa Dua lure throngs of visitors. From the majestic Mother Temple Besakih to little household shrines, Bali’s temples grace mountainsides and stunning seaside cliffs, and lure visitors from around the world.
