WELCOME TO BALI
THE ISLAND OF THE GODS
Bali is located between Java and Lombok, 8° south of the equator, with a tropical climate and an average annual temperature of 28° C.
The rich volcanic soil and monsoon season make Bali extremely fertile, and a range of crops are grown. The province of Bali is famous for its terraced rice fields and breathtaking beaches, among the most spectacular in the world.
The majority of Balinese are Hindus, although cultural influences make them different from the Hindus in India. Religious life in Bali is almost inseparable from cultural life: temples can be found everywhere, with religious ceremonies taking place every day. One such ritual, which plays a significant role in Balinese daily life, is the presentation of offerings. Offerings appease the spirits and bring prosperity and good health to one’s family.
Travelers will be mesmerised by the rich cultural traditions of music, dance, arts and crafts. From colorful ceremonies to spectacular panorama, every inch of this enchanting island will offer you unique and unforgettable experiences.
