Bali indonesia

Tanah Lot Bali

Bali is a province in the country of Indonesia. The island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar towards the south of the island. The province covers a few small neighbouring islands as well as the isle of Bali

With a population recorded as 3,891,428 in the 2010 census, the island is home to most of Indonesia's Hindu minority.  It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking, and music. Bali, a tourist haven for decades, has seen a further surge in tourist numbers in recent years.

Bali was inhabited by around 2000 BC by Austronesian peoples who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia. Culturally and linguistically, the Balinese are thus closely related to the peoples of the Indonesian archipelago, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Oceania. Stone tools dating from this time have been found near the village of Cekik in the island's west.

In ancient Bali, nine Hindu sects existed, namely Pasupata, Bhairawa, Siwa Shidanta, Waisnawa, Bodha, Brahma, Resi, Sora and Ganapatya. Each sect revered a specific deity as its personal Godhead.

Bali is an all year round destination. While it is outside of the hurricane belts, its tropical climate does include a wet season from January to April. However, the wet season is NOT a reason NOT to come. The rain falls often at night, but even if it is during the day, it comes mostly in the form of a three hour dramatic downpour that only seems to have one purpose: to announce the clearest skies possible, the most beautiful sunny spells and a symphony of blooming flowers.

The Bali hotel infrastructure offers an abundance of some of the very best accommodation one can find on the planet. Ranging from splendid villas, on the cutting edge of resort architecture, with open style living, plunge pools and lush gardens to surprisingly pleasant budget accommodation for backpackers. Always at an extremely reasonable cost and high value for money. The island caters to the full spectre of the tourism trade from conference organisers to adventure operators.
