Bali shares the most exotic culture of hinduism, this is placed atUbud, the village of art. here you can find the real balinese people living side by side with their hinduism culture, prayer, houses, kecak dances, bali sculpture, the sacrifices etc. Ubud can provide this for you.

Art is the most valuable object at Bali, the wayang, T-shirt, Bali sculpture, and many other token you can find at sukawati art market. Just about 1 hour on road from Kuta you can found anything money can buy for souvenir of bali. although the most usefull skill to use here are the bidding skills due to no price are too cheap or too expensive.

For better price while traveling in Bali, you can use tourism package provided by your tourism agent. there are numerous package you can use. there are Honeymoon package, kintamani tour package, bedugul tour package, kecak and seafood package and many other. For further information contacting your agents are the most proper thing to do.

With its spectacular white beaches, verdant jungle and mountain, Bali is a tropical paradise.
The landscape of Bali ‘is made up of volcanic mountains, lakes and rivers, terraced ricefields, giant banyans and palm groves and, on the coast, bays ringed with white sandy beaches. Bali is famous for its crafts and adventurous activities, which are organized on the southern beaches. The island lies a short distance from the eastern coast of Java, across the Strait of Bali. The tourist areas are in the south, around Sanur beach and at Kuta, which lies on the other side of a narrow isthmus. The island also has thousands of temples – the exact number has never been counted – ranging from the great Holy Temple at Besakih to small village places of worship.
