by Daisy Wilkinson Travel Guides

Among the most popular destinations in Indonesia explored by millions of tourists every year, Bali is renowned across the world as the 'Island of the Gods'. This nickname of the Indonesian island would seem perfect when you come across all the wonderful ancient temples and enchanting natural surroundings. These features of Bali are what create a divine atmosphere around the island. It has managed to retain its rich cultural heritage even after so many centuries. During your time spent on this island, you'll get the chance to witness the centuries-old traditions of the local population and some awe-inspiring natural attractions.

The best time for your Bali holidays would be the dry season, which this destination experiences from April to October. It is the time when the waves on the peninsula's western side are at their best as compared to other times of the year. Surfing enthusiasts would find such conditions perfect to have a wonderful time on the magnificent waves. If you don't want heavy crowds of tourists around, avoid the peak tourist months of July and August. There would be lesser tourist crowds during April, May, June, and September. October and March are the months when the hotels and resorts located on the island offer some excellent deals.

Pura Tanah Lot is one of the most popular Hindu temples you can visit while holidaying on the island. It has been constructed on a rocky islet and is 20 kilometres away from Kuta. This majestic temple is considered the most sacred of all the sea temples in Bali by the locals. Pura Besakih is the largest and holiest Hindu temple on the island. A visit to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud would allow you to watch many of the grey long-tailed macaques in action. You'll also get to see three ancient temples while in this forest sanctuary. When you are in Ubud, don't miss its famed rice terraces.

While enjoying your holidays on this island in Indonesia, you'll also get to unwind on the most attractive beaches in this part of Indonesia. One of them is Kuta Beach, which is a good place to indulge in surfing despite the crowds of tourists and hawkers. When you are on this beach, you can also rent a surf-board, umbrella, or sun-lounger from any of the vendors nearby. If you don't want to be disturbed by crowds of visitors and enjoy some serenity, head to the Nusa Lembongan Island. When exploring Bali's northern parts, you'll come across Sekumpul Waterfall located in a region called Singaraja.

Your holiday in this part of the world would also give you the chance to indulge in some thrilling activities. Among them would certainly be the hike to Mount Batur's summit. The expedition usually begins in the darkness before dawn. It allows you to reach the summit of this sacred mountain before dawn and savour awe-inspiring views of the sunrise. If you are a surfing enthusiast, the best place for you would be the Bukit Peninsula's southern parts. Other exciting activities you can enjoy outdoors while in Bali are scuba diving and snorkelling.
