" BALI "...Whenever you heard this word suddenly you think about Temples , Volcano mountain , Beauty of nature. You must be think about that because these words describe Bali. Bali is one of the amazing place of Indonesia. If I've to describe Bali in my words I would say Bali is a real beauty of Indonesia. Well Indonesia has so many stunning places like Jakarta , Sumatra any many more but among these Bali is a real Heaven Of Indonesia. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority country , but only Bali is the Hindu majority state in Indonesia. So all Balinese people are mostly Hindu. They believes in Trimurti ( Lord Shiva , Lord Bhrahma , Lord Vishnu ). You can even find so many statutes of lord Ganesha in the entrance. You will also find Krishna - Sudama Ashram and many Hindu Temples there. One thing I came to know that who follows Lord Vishnu only those people are pure vegetarian others ain't . So if you are a pure vegetarian so you might have a problem for food. But there isn't any issue so don't worry about that because there are few Indian Restaurants like Ganesha , Queens Of India , Spice Mantra , Bengal Bali etc. Hence they are not pure vegetarian but at least you can get Indian vegetarian food there. So basically , Bali is one of the most favorite destination for tourists in Indonesia. So there is no specific time to go to Bali , you can go there whenever you want , but I suggest you to go there in June - July. Bali has so many attractions like Ulundanu Temple , Kechak Dance , Uluwatu Temple , Ubud Village , Mt. Batur , Tanah Lot Temple and many more. My trip was about 7 days , but haven't seen so much so if you are planning to go to Bali I would suggest go for at least 15 days then only you will complete whole Bali. So without taking much time in brief let me share my experience in Bali. I hope this will help you for your tour to Bali. so let's get Started.
- How to reach Bali????
When you are travelling somewhere first question stuck in your mind is "how to reach there? ". So if you are travelling from Mumbai ( India ) you might get direct flight for Bali. But if you are travelling from somewhere else in India you won't get direct flights to Bali , there will be one stop at Malaysia or Singapore . And if you are travelling from other country then you might get direct fights to Bali.
- Where to stay in Bali?
So the other Question came in mind while planning for a tour is " where to stay? ". So here is an answer , if you are travelling with your family , friends , siblings you don't need to worry about staying. In Bali you will find so many 5 star hotels, as well as you may find 3 star hotels also. If you are a backpacker no need to worry you will also find budget hotels there. I would suggest you to stay in Kuta area because this area is near by airport and you will find so many good hotels , restaurants , shopping malls and many more. Bali's biggest mall " Discovery Mall " is also situated in this area. I stayed at Hotel Rama Beach Resorts and Villas. It is a 5 star hotel , and a perfect place to stay. this hotel is situated near the Kuta Beach , as well as Naguh Rai International Airport. This hotel has a swimming pool , pool bar , gym , spa , restaurant and many more. Staff of this hotel is very kind and friendly and the facilities are very good. Rooms are very clean and you will get a free Wi-Fi there. I am sharing some pictures of room as well as hotel so you will get to know how's the Hotel. You will find a local market near the hotel and you will also find 3-4 Indian restaurants near this hotel such as Ganesha , Queens Of India , Spice Mantra & Indian Dhaba. Here are few pictures of Hotel :

Now let me share my experience of 6 days with all of you.😊
Day : 1
So first day was kind a relaxing day for me , because I reached to Bali at 1o'clock and then our driver picked up and took us to the Hotel Rama Beach Resort & Villas which I had already told you so here I am not going to tell about hotel. We reached our hotel by 2o'clock. Then we got ready and went for the lunch at Hotel Ganesha. Yeah Hotel Ganesha is an Indian Restaurant which is about a kilometer from our hotel. You will find south indian & north indian dishes here and you can also have some Chinese dishes here. Well the food was good but I am disappointed with the quantity of some dishes , I mean the quantity was very little than anyone can imagine . But overall the taste was good so I suggest you to go there if you want to eat Indian food. After having a lunch I came back to the hotel. As I said earlier first day was a leisure day for me so I enjoyed swimming. One thing I forgot to tell you about the hotel , that this hotel also provides you a bicycle if you want and yes there isn't any extra charge for that. Timing of the that is 7a.m. - 7p.m. so you can enjoy bicycle riding there. 😊 For the dinner I went to Queens of India ( Queens Kuta ) the Indian restaurant. Actually I've taken the land package for Bali , so that was included in my package. If you don't took a package , don't worry about that they also provide a without buffet menu for those people who don't have any package. Taste of food was awesome , I didn't even imagine that I could have such a real Indian taste in Bali. This is the best place for you if you want to have Real Indian style food. This is also situated in near by area of my hotel. So that's how I spent my first day in Bali.😁
Day : 2
So my second day in Bali was going to be a quite amazing because I had a Water Sport Activities , as well as I had to go to the sunset temple which is called Ulun - Danu Sunset Temple and was also going to see the famous Dance of Bali which is called Kechak Dance. So I had covered three places on second day.
- Water Sport Activities
- Uluwatu Sunset Temple
- Kechak Dance
❋ Water Sport Activities :
You will find so many Water Sport Activities like Parasailing , Jet ski , Banana boat , Glass boat , Flying fish , Speed boat , Flying jet , Island of Turtle and many more. I enjoyed Jet ski , Banana boat , Glass boat & Island of turtle. I've some pictures of glass boat & Island of Turtle. In glass boat there was a glass in the bottom of the boat so you could see the fishes. In the island of turtle there was a small zoo in which there were so many small turtles , fruit bat , python , luwak & a very big turtle ( which was 55 years old ). Here are some memories.

After doing water sport activities we went for a lunch at an Indian restaurant which is called Bengal Bali. You will get Vegetarian - Non Vegetarian Indian food here. One thing I noticed that in India first you get water wherever you go( at the restaurant )( without any cost 😂) but in Bali they don't serve the water , you have to buy the water and it's cost about 70,000 Rupiah ( around 300 INR ) for a small bottle. 😂😂
❋ Uluwatu Sunset Temple:
Uluwatu is a sunset temple which is situated in south Kuta. This temple is situated on the top of the hill. You can see the Indian Ocean form that temple. And the view of this temple from the opposite cliff is amazing. There isn't any statue of a God or a Goddess here. Hence they don't allow you to go inside the main chamber. There is a walkway so that with the help of this walkway you can go to the opposite side of the temple. The scenery form that cliff is stunning. Here are some pictures of that.

❋ Kechak Dance:
Kechak Dance is a very famous dance of Bali. This is a very unique style of dance. In Uluwatu Temple there is a open air theater in which Kechak Dance is performed. This dance stared around 6 p.m. This dance is performed by some Balinese people. This dance contains a 4-5 Ramayana Scenes. Balinese people plays this acts to the audience with dance. This is an amazing dance show I've ever seen in my life , we see so many type of dance show like jazz , hip hop , salsa and many more but trust me you haven't seen this type of dance ever in your life. This dance contains emotions , thrill , drama , comedy, storytelling without saying a single word.
After completing this we went for a dinner at Queen's Of India and then we went back to our hotel. So this how my second day was.

After visiting shops i went to the Mt. Batur. Mt. Batur is a volcanic mountain. The view of this mountain is very beautiful. This mountain is surrounded by the mountains and lake. I asked to the local people about reaching to the lake they said that you can not go there by vehicle if you want to go there you must have to go by walking. But the view of Volcano Mountain with the surrounding mountains and lake is just an amazing. At this place you will find so many vendors , Nail Artist but i suggest not to buy anything from them.
