Bali is the most popular destination in Indonesia and a complete tropical island; with its varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and sandy beaches, lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides all providing a picturesque backdrop to its colourful, deeply spiritual and unique culture, stakes a serious claim to be paradise on earth.
The populations in Bali is about 4 million people, is approximately 144 kilometers (90 mi.) from east to west and 80 kilometers (50 mi.) north to south. This island is located just over 2 kilometers (almost 1.5 miles) from the eastern tip of the island of Java and west of the island of Lombok.


 Bali still an A-lister and destinations  which consistently wins travel awards and often on the lips of every traveller dreaming of a tropical getaway.the traveller can do many activity on the island which is consist, surfing and diving, shopping, visit historical places and many more.

Balinese is linguistically very different from Bahasa Indonesia, although the latter is the lingua franca in Indonesia and is spoken by practically everyone in Bali. But, don't worry, English and some other foreign languages are also widely spoken in this island.
 


There are an estimated 20,000 temples (pura) on the island, each of which holds festivals (odalan) at least twice yearly (To enter any temple you must be appropriately dressed with a sarong and sash). With many other auspicious days throughout the year there are always festivities going on such as Nyepi or the Hindu New Year, Funeral, Galungan and other.
Daytime temperatures in Bali are pleasant, varying between 20-33⁰ C (68-93⁰ F) year-round. so, it is suitable for the tourist to walk around and enjoy their holiday in this island.



 Bali is a pocket of Hindu religion and culture where, every aspect of Balinese life is suffused with religion, but the most visible signs are the tiny offerings (canang sari, or sesajen) found in every Balinese house, work place, restaurant, souvenir stall and airport check-in desk.  Balinese dance and music are also justly famous and a major attraction for visitors to the island. As on neighbouring Java, the gamelan orchestra and wayang kulit shadow puppet theatre predominate.
Dances are extremely visual and dramatic, and the most famous include Barong or "lion dance", Calonarang,
Kecak or "monkey dance", Legong Keraton.

Most of the coastline of Bali is fringed by beaches of some type, with the exceptions being some important areas of mangrove forest in the southeast, and certain parts of the Bukit Paninsula where high cliffs drop straight to the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean.
