Bali

With its lush rice terraces and ancient mysticism, Bali is an Indonesian island that emanates tranquillity. Nature lovers seek out the jagged cliffs and pristine beaches of Uluwatu, while travelers desiring solace flock to the Hindu temples and shamans of Ubud. And in Denpasar, the underappreciated capital city, testaments to ancient culture reign supreme. Undisputed highlights include Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest, Tanah Lot Temple, and the peak of Mt. Batur, and visiting all ranks among the most popular things to do in Bali. Local villages, deserted hiking routes, and roadside restaurants reveal a muted yet equally majestic charm.
