With
its fine beaches, pounding surf, emerald-green rice terrace
and exceptionally artistic culture, the small volcanic island
of Bali - the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia - has long
been Indonesia's premier tourist destination. Although it suffers
the predictable problems of congestion and commercialization,
Bali's original charm is still much in evidence, its stunning
temples and spectacular festivals set off by the gorgeously
lush landscape of the interior.You can find bali hotels
You can find bali hotels, bali villas, bali resorts around Bali. Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and
nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers
prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented
Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination
is the cultural centre of Ubud, where traditional dances are
staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts
galleries. In addition, there are numerous elegant Hindu temples
to visit, particularly at Tanah Lot, Batukau and Besakih, and
a good number of volcano hikes, the most popular being the route
up Gunung Batur, with Gunung Agung only for the very fit.
