BaliA friendly and remarkably artistic people, living amid breathtaking panoramas, have created a dynamic society with unique arts and ceremonies, making Bali an island almost unreal in today's hectic and changing world. Terraced ricefields dominate the landscape, with rivers and small irrigation streams dissecting a luscious green landscape, filling the air with enchanting sounds of running water.
Bali is divided by a string of impressive and authoritative volcanoes running almost through the centre of the island. Mountains and volcanoes are believed to be the home of the gods. Shrouded in mystery and magic, they stretch skyward in majestic splendour.
"Bali's best season runs from May to September, when the climate is at its driest, sunniest and least humid.
When holidaymakers arrive, they discover that Bali is quite unlike its rivals. With its terraces of emerald-green rice paddies and volcano peaks rising out of the clouds, it is startlingly beautiful. It has a fascinating and accessible Hindu culture, with temples and shrines everywhere, and offerings to the spirits set out on palm leaf trays on the threshold of every home. You're bound to come across a colourful religious festival during even a short stay. The shopping is fantastic, particularly in Ubud and the nearby villages, and the food is excellent and cheap: a plate of nasi goreng (rice with meat, fish and vegetables) in a local restaurant costs under £1."
