Bali

1. 1. Welcome to Bali Paradise Island

Bali is one of over 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago and is located just over 2 kilometers from the eastern tip of the island of Java and west of the island of Lombok. The island, home to approximately 4 million people, is approximately 144 kilometers from east to west and 80 kilometers from north to south. It takes 3 hours flight from Singapore or 5 hours from Sydney or  4 hours from Hong Kong and 8 hours from Tokyo,  those  closest cities in the pacific. There are direct and some connects flights from Europe, North and South America as well as Africa. A very narrow strait, called the strait of Bali, joins the Indian (Indonesia) ocean and the Java sea, separating Bali from Java. The island’s varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides provide a picturesque backdrop to the colorful and deeply spiritual culture of this ‘Island of The Gods’. Most population of Bali (90%) are Hindu and the others are Catholic, Protestant, Moslem and Buddhist. The Hinduism in Bali mixed with local tradition and culture, thus almost everyday you can find ceremony or festival. One of the world’s most popular island destinations and one which consistently wins travel awards. Bali has something to offer for a very broad market of visitors from young back-packers right through to the super-rich.

The History Of Bali

the word paradise is used a lot in Bali and not without reason. The combination of friendly, hospitable people, a magnificently visual culture infused with spirituality and spectacular beaches with great surfing and diving have made Bali Indonesia’s unparalleled number one tourist attraction. 80% of International visitors to Indonesia visit Bali and Bali alone. The popularity is not without its flip sides — once paradisaical Kuta has degenerated into a congested warren of concrete, touts and scammers live on overcharging tourists, and the island’s visibility has even drawn the unwanted attention of terrorists in 2002 and 2005 — but Bali has managed to retain its magic. Bali is a wonderful destination with something for everyone, and though heavily traveled, it is still easy to find some peace and quiet.
