It is not an exaggeration to say that of all islands in the world, Bali is probably the most recognised name despite its small size as. This exceptionally beautiful ‘Gods’ own land’ is home to the world’s most beautiful beaches, rain forests, lush green rice terraces, rushing rivers, historic temples capped by a rich culture. A holiday in bali gives you a taste of absolute bliss that you would want to carry with you forever! What is even better is the fact that a holiday in bali is far more affordable than any other island holiday thanks to the myriads of hot deals that are all over the net!

For the uninitiated, Bali might be all about beautiful beaches but truth is far from that. The Bali adventure will show you there is more than what meets the eye. Discover the amazing underwater secrets by going for a diving experience. Some of the best diving centres ...
... are Nusa Penida, Amuk Bay, Amed and Tulamben. Feel the serenity of the aquatic world deep below and discover another world away from this world.

Feel the artistic culture of the Balinese people by visiting the Hindu temples of Goa Gajah or the Elephant cave near Ubud, Goa Lawah Temple in Dawan district, Tanah Lot temple perched atop a huge rock facing the sea, Ulun Danu Beratan temple in central Bali etc. Although these temples are sites of tranquillity with hardly many people, during festival periods it is another matter. This quiet place suddenly turns in to a hub of hectic activity with ornate decorations, performances, and celebrations going well into the night.

There is so much to do and see in Bali that a holiday in indonesia could well turn into a holiday in just the island of Bali! For the adventurous white water rafting is a ‘must do’. Feel your heart in your mouth as the boat goes through hair pin bends, or rolling down a slope! Travel through the tropical jungles of Bali atop an elephant and feel like a ‘Raja’ or King! The best way to enjoy these adventures is to book in advance. Planning ahead should involve your tickets of course along with a good hotel deal that is fairly centrally located from where you can go on a daily basis to check out each adventure! Great deals are all over the net but be sure to pick one that offers you a good bed and bath along with good security as these are the most important features that you should not compromise on in order to save a few pennies.

As any tourist worth his salt would say - ‘No holiday in Indonesia is complete without a holiday in kuta bali.’ The ‘surfing capital’ of Bali, Kuta beach is most famous for its silvery white sands, powerful waves and coral reefs. Kuta is the place to try your first surfing experience if you haven’t already had one. The fact that you can surf on Kuta beach actually means you can stay in a good affordable accommodation within a short distance of the beach and go back to your room for a refreshing shower before you venture out for the night entertainment. Kuta turns into a riotous town at night with a number of pubs and bars belting out loud music, free flowing drinks and thronging crowds, dancing and so on. Alternately enjoy the Balinese theatre which showcases the local culture and talent. Balinese dances with their traditional costumes are absolutely enthralling to the foreign tourists. Alternately,you may choose to view the dance dramas based on Hindu mythology or Bali history.

Kuta is also a haven for shopping, be it international brands or local handicrafts. While the branded merchandise does come at a fixed price, the local handicrafts are up for a bargain. Carry home plenty of souvenirs in the form of jewellery, T-shirts, bags, or just pure local handicrafts. Just remember that the trick to enjoying a good holiday is to plan in advance. A good hotel in Bali is easy to get. It is the good price that you would want to look at which saves you the hidden costs and leaves you enough to splurge on your indulgence!
