More than just a mere holiday spot, the Indonesian island of Bali offers an exquisite blend of fascinating culture and enticing Hindu Dharma tradition, with tantalizing and theatrical performances such as the famed music of the Gamelan or the exotic Kecak dance. Whatever may be said about the beauty and diversity of this pearl of an island can hardly do justice to what you find upon arrival. Bali is mostly covered with a lush rainforest, with majestic volcanoes towering over the landscape. So, if you’re up for some adventure, there’s room for hiking, off road trekking and more. Alternately, take a scooter ride down one the many paths crisscrossing the rice fields through the rolling hills to sample the local delicacy – a world-famed coffee bean known as Kopi Luwak.
Just a short boat ride away, Bali’s little sandy sister islands of Gillis and quiet Lombok are another choice for spending a couple of days sunning and snorkelling. West Lombok has a large Balinese Hindu minority that gives this part of Lombok a distinct flair. West Lombok is home to the Balinese era royal palace and several large Balinese Hindu temples. South and East Lombok are more traditional Sasak areas as reflected in the stone Sasak villages in South Lombok. North Lombok is home to Mount Rinjani, considered to be sacred by many inhabitants of both Lombok and Bali, and is where you will find vestiges of an animist culture in daily rituals and practices. Although Lombok is referred to as “Bali 20 years ago,” it is a culturally distinct and virtually undeveloped island that has numerous unique offerings for travellers.
