Bali
Island, the perfect holiday destination for all ages offers something for
everyone. Bali offers not just various customs but also various "adrenalin
pump" parks. Many exciting amusements are available in Bali, with
something new opening all the time. The number of offshore and inland
attraction are on the rise because many tourists want them. This tropical
paradise has a unique blend of modern tourist facilities combined with
wonderful shopping and a rich past and heritage. After white water rafting that
has gained popularity in Bali, comes offshore rafting or ocean rafting. The
more adventurous sort of amusement has now become an alternative sport for
tourists. Meanwhile white water rafting is still a popular activity with trips
on Ayung, Telaga Waja, Unda Rivers, etc. The tourists can refresh their mind by
watching beautiful scenery along the route. Those are not enough, some of the
best surfing beaches in the world can be found on the western side of the
island whilst conversely the eastern side is a wonderful haven for families,
with beautiful white sand beaches and gentle seas.
Bali
is small island, just 140 Km by 80 Km and lies between Java, the most highly
populated and influential of all the islands, and Lombok, one of the quieter
and moderately slower paced islands. Like many islands, Bali has developed a
world of its own. It not only captures what is special about Indonesia but also
has a uniqueness of its own.
The
culture of Bali is unique. People say that the Balinese people have reached
self-content. The Balinese people are proud of having preserved their unique
Hindu culture against the advance of Islam, the dominant religion throughout
Indonesia. This is still reflected in days to day life and can be seen in the
numerous ceremonies, Balinese festivals and magnificent temples and palaces.
The Balinese are skilled artisans, particularly in woodcarving and in
fashioning objects of tortoiseshell and of gold, silver and other metals. The
Balinese are noted for their traditional dance, the distinctive music of the
gamelan and for their skills in weaving cloth of gold and silver threads,
Songket, as well as for embroidering silk and cotton clothing. Stone and
woodcarvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry
in gold and silver are readily available in shops and galleries throughout the
island.
As
for recreation, there is no shortage of options. Nature walks, horseback
riding, diving, surfing - even bungy jumping and white water rafting - await
the adventurous here.
