Bali Tour & Travel Guide

BALI is the island of the Gods or the last Paradise on Earth or whatever name it is given, Bali with its exotic grave vibrant culture, unique arts and ceremonies, scenic beauty and gentle and friendly people, makes it an island almost unreal in today’s changing world. With a completely different life-style from the rest of Indonesia, the Balinese have manage to preserve their culture despite the overwhelming foreign influences brought by the ever increasing number of visitors from all over the world.
Bali’s culture is based on its unique from of Hinduism called Hindu Dharma, which it retained after the Islamic of Java and developed through the centuries.
The soul of the Balinese is in his or her order religion and it finds its expression in the arts. It seems that every person is an artist in some form, whether he/ she is painting weaving, carving or even in the making of the decorations which are placed at the many shrines public areas, roads, rice fields, or in the home. Villages spend their free time at these arts, or make music and dancing based on the old Hindu epics of the Ramayana and Mahabarata or on local folklore, which is taught from a very young age. The island of Bali, only 4355 sq. in size, is mountainous, in its centre with a cluster of volcanoes of which the active Mount Agung is considered sacred. Steeped in antiquity, a thousand temple’s dot the countryside. The temples are only a part of Bali, but this is the part where most Balinese centre their lives around, probably unknowingly. The temples festivities are colourful, very religious yet very human. Such festivities cannot be matched by any stage of any theatre on earth.
