Bali: A Travel Paradise in Indonesia

Bali, Indonesia's most popular island, is famous for its golden beaches, green rice paddies, and Hindu temples. Unlike the rest of Indonesia, where Islam prevails, Bali is predominantly Hindu with influences from Buddhism.

In the capital Denpasar, the Bajra Sandhi monument stands out, dedicated to Balinese fighters. Near Denpasar is the Pura Tanah Lot temple, built on a rock in the Indian Ocean. Also important is the Uluwatu temple.

Bali is known for its waterfalls, such as Aling-Aling and Nungnung. The Elephant Safari Park Lodge in Taro village is home to Sumatran elephants.

The city of Ubud is famous for the royal family palace and the Tegalalang rice terraces. Near Ubud is the Sacred Monkey Forest. The Uluwatu area is known for its beaches, such as Padang Padang, Bingin, Dreamland and Suluban.

Try bebek goreng (fried duck) and ayam betutu (baked chicken with spices).

In Denpasar, the Verdant Bali Sekar Sari hotel is recommended. In Ubud, The Sebali Resort.
