| BALI |
|
| One of the most magical islands in the world, Bali justly deserves its nickname 'The Island of a Thousand Gods'. The southern beaches of Kuta and Nusa Dua are blessed with long swathes of golden sand with azure waters lapping at the shore. Although much of the north coast is covered in black, volcanic sand, the beaches here tend to be somewhat quieter and still offer a wonderful location for swimming, snorkelling or just relaxing. |
|
| Natural attractions don't stop at the beach; in the east, the volcanic mountain of Gunung Agung soars up into the clear blue sky. The island's interior has its own charm. Terraced rice fields cascade down the hillside, providing a green backdrop to the terracotta-hued temples that dot the countryside. |
|
| For culture lovers, Bali has kept alive its traditional music and dance. The best place to enjoy such cultural attractions is the town of Ubud in the centre of the island, where visitors can see performances of gamelan music, besides the traditional kecak and barong dances. |
