OM SWASTIASTU
Bali is one of the world tourism destinations in which
there are many kinds of natural beauty and cultural
uniqueness for visitors to explore and enjoy. The Culture
of Bali has been influenced by the Hindu religion from
early ages with grace and temperance, which has rooted
in a very long history making it intrinsically very inviting for
tourism in Bali. Bali’s culture is also based on philosophy
of local genius called Tri Hita Karana which means the
three causes of Happiness, Wealthy and Prosperity. As a
tourism destination which is based on culture, Bali cur-
rently needs a means of promotion and has potency in
linking local, regional, national, and the world cultures.
“travelling BALI” has a simple mission to promote Bali for
both domestic and foreign tourists with structured many
high-class information, great content like accommoda-
tions, spas, weddings, restaurants, recreation and ac-
tivities in Bali with a lovely layout design to promote Bali
as a tourist destination. First appearing in 2013 and fast
becoming the resource of choice for both Bali residents
and guests.
The publisher “travelling BALI” fully expects this informa-
tion will be able to provide great benefits especially for
tourists, tourism industry, and society at large to build a
Sustainable Tourism Development.

The Place With Highest Temple Density In The World!
A perfect place to go for everybody. Monkey Lov-
ers should not miss to see Uluwatu temple, a cliff
edged temple with plenty of wildlife monkeys. If
you are travelling with kids, definitely go there. A
wide range of temples and stories can be found
on: www.travellingbali.com

Mother Temple, also named Besakih Temple or
Pura Besakih Bali, is located in the village of Be-
sakih (Rendang Sub-district, Karangasem) right at
the foot of Mount Agung, in the eastern part of
Bali.
As its name already states, it is the mother of all
temples and not just one of Bali’s most impor-
tant temples; it is the most important one in Bali!
Besakih Temple is located about 1,000 meters
above sea level and finally it is the highest sub-
stantial public temple complex.
Besakih Temple dates back to about the 10th
century (the same age as Tirta Empul Temple)
and is actually a complex consisting of about 30
singular temples, with hundreds of shrines, dedi-
cated to the helpers of the gods.
When you have finally reached Pura Penataran
Agung Besakih, the highest temple of the Mother
Temple complex, you will be rewarded with un-
imaginable views and a fabulous, spiritual feeling.
Obviously, the most marvellous things in Bali also
have a reverse side to the coin. As the Mother
Temple is a very popular tourist place, you will be
asked for money at every single corner. A guide
offers his knowledge here, a seller his products
there and obviously you have to pay for the en-
trance as well. Additionally you will probably get
forced to buy a Sarong for 50 USD which is 3-4
times of the real value.
Before you enter the temple complex, Besakih
Temple can easily become annoying, especially if
you can’t handle pushy people. As Besakih tem-
ple plays such a big role in Balinese tradition and it
is a tremendous and imposing complex it is there-
fore hard to say:
“If you can’t handle these situations, stay
away from Pura Besakih and see other major
temples on Bali such as Pura Luhur Uluwatu
(Uluwatu Temple) or Tirta Empul Temple (Pura
Tirta Empul) just to name a few” but unfortunately
this is a fact. Although for those who don’t mind
at all and make this tour to Bali’s holiest temple
will explore a terrific complex with stunning views
from the top level!

Balangan Beach is located in the Bukit, in the
south west of Bali. This place is a real hidden gem
and “The Golden Sand Area” is well worth a visit.
Situated under a massive cliff, Balangan Beach is
not easy to find but precisely for this reason this
wonderful beauty offers nearly full privacy. Apart
from some surfers who enjoy the fantastic waves
in this area you will only meet some other tourists
who found this place by coincidence.
A public parking place on top of the cliff is pro-
vided and the access to Balangan Beach is very
easy, you just have to handle the stairs down the
cliff to the beach. Because of the massive waves,
Balangan Beach is not highly recommended for
swimming but offers another opportunity which is
rare to find somewhere else in Bali, a romantic cliff
edge wedding with stunning sunset views!
In case you plan to get married, Balangan Cliff will
make the most important day in your life simply
unforgettable. Wedding agents in Bali offer cer-
emonies in every price class. Starting from around
2,000 USD and the sky is the limit. In case you
haven’t booked your hotel yet, basic accommo-
dation around Balangan Beach is provided for as
little as 20 USD.
The rooms are obviously not equipped with an air
conditioner but those who are happy with only a
fan can make staying around Balangan Beach a
real bargain. Day Trips to Balangan Beach can be
perfectly combined with a visit of Uluwatu Tem-
ple (cliff edge temple) which is very popular for its
wild monkeys. In case you are travelling with kids
it has to be mentioned that the cliff around Ulu-
watu Temple is partially unsecured. On the way
back it is highly recommended to make a stop in
Jimbaran Bay for a seafood dinner.
The local warungs (restaurants), nestled in be-
tween the area of Four Seasons and Interconti
Hotel, offer real value for money. A 1.5 Kilo Red
Snapper, coming with rice, soup, vegetables and
different sauces only adds up to about 10 USD
and it is enough for two.
In addition to this, Jimbaran Bay is a very romantic
place and offers a great sunset. Be there at the
latest around 6.00 pm.

The Bali Deli Group has now expanded with its Sanur
branches in the first quarter of this year, on Jl. Danau Tam-
blingan the main street of Sanur. This is good news indeed
for those further afield from the original found on Jl. Kunti
in the heart of Seminyak. Bali Deli is a food lovers’ haven,
or a home sick traveler’s refuge for all the goodness and
comfort of culinary delights. Not only does its well-stocked
shelves and full delicatessen fridges entice from the per-
haps restrained shopping list, but it also offers a wine cellar
that is very impressive. The on-site bakery wafts the freshly
baked aromas of breads, croissants, pastries, cakes and
pies that send all the customers dreaming of their child-
hood in grandma’s kitchen. A special feature of Bali Deli is
the restaurant named ‘Le Spot’ which offers both indoor
and outdoor seating from breakfast through to and includ-
ing dinner, with its varied international all-day menu, fresh
juices and good coffee. Complimentary Wi-Fi also makes
this restaurant a popular daytime meeting spot for busi-
ness lunches and get-togethers. Bali Deli provides a full
delivery service of the F&B menu and pastry and bakery
items around Bali.
(please be advised a delivery charge may apply).

The Double Edged Keris (sword) of Bali
Every fast developing tourist destination in the
world has two sides to its blades.
The first area, and surely the most popular one, is
known asa mass tourism place such as Kuta or
Seminyak. Everyone who has stayed in Bali will
have experienced at least one of these area sand
seen the Bali Lifestyle in that region. On the other
hand what about the other side of the Keris’s blade?
Has everyone that has stayed in Kuta, made a trip
to Bali’s northern part to see the National park or
have they been to Singaraja, Lovina or Candi Dasa?
Unfortunately it is sad but true that plenty of the
tourists coming to the island of the gods only see it
as a low cost island with great opportunities for food
and spa treatments.
The following article is aimed at all those people
who so far haven’t heard or have ignored Bali’s
other side, the wonderful culture, the outstanding
fauna and flora and the opportunity to chill out in
a segregated area. It is directed at all those who
are looking for a chance to take great walks, hikes
or cycling tours in a cool, fresh area that is 1,500
meters or more above sea level in an outstanding
mountainous area. It has been written for all those
who are looking for an opportunity to see wild dol-
phins, buffalo races, deer or fantastic marina wildlife
in some of the great snorkeling areas that are just
waiting to be explored.
Last but by no means least this article is addressed
to all those people who want to cross the Kuta or
Seminyak boarder and increase their knowledge by
experiencing the second face of Bali (side or the
other side of the Keris), the traditional and original
face (side)! We hope you are one of these people.
In the regency of Karangasem in the north west
of Bali, lies Candi Dasa, it’s a great place to stay
overnight and the perfect place to start explorations
of the many cultural highlights which are nestled
around this area. In addition to this, Candi Dasa has
some extremely charming restaurants, such as the
“Lotus Sea view Restaurant”, which offers a won-
derful ocean view and the perfect place to have Din-
ner. Close to Candi Dasa, nestled in the hills around
this area, you can find Tenganan village.
The traditions and practices of this village may
sound very strange to you but isn’t it worth seeing
a village where only the inhabitants are allowed to
marry each other andvisitors of the village are pro-
hibited from staying overnight?
The Taman Ujung Water palace, Winner of tripadvi-
sor’s “Travellers’ Choice Award 2013”, Tirta Gangga
the former Royal Palace of Krangasem, rated on
tripadvisor 4.5/5 and Lempuyang Temple one of
Bali’s 9 key directional temples that faces a variety
of lakes, mountains and oceans are also located
close to Candi Dasa and should not be missed dur-
ing your trip. Even if youhave already booked your
hotel in Bali, it is worth taking a driver and staying
overnight in Candi Dasa, a wonderful place located
on the northeast coast of Bali.

Another place which is highly recommended for an overnight stay is
Lovina. The name of this neat city is derived from the word ‘lovely’ in
Indonesian, which already speaks for itself. Lovina is very popular for
dolphin watching which usually starts at 6 o’clock in the morning. For
this reason alone an overnight stay in Lovina is already highly recom-
mended. The Northern area is also very popular for its unique hot
springs. The Banjar Hot Spring for example is operated profession-
ally, provides lockers and changing rooms and is great fun to spend
some time in the lovely warm water, which is roughly 38 degrees.This
environment is very family friendly and a great day out if you are travel-
ling with kids. In addition to this, all the hot springs have, due to the
sulfurous water, a healing character. Furthermore, plenty of wonderful
waterfalls, such as the Gitgit waterfall, with their fresh water poolsgive
you the opportunity to take a dip and cool down whilst on your day
trip. The following Tour with an overnight stay away from the hustle

SIGHTSEEING
Banjar Hot Spring
Gitgit Waterfall
Panglipuran Village
Gunung Kawi Temple
Gunung Kawi Temple (Pura Gunung Kawi) is a very
unique Balinese temple complex, carved into the
mountain and located on Pakerisan River, close to
Tampak Siring village in the regency of Gianyar. Pura
Gunung Kawi bears a resemblance to the South
American Maya Temples as it is surrounded by a lush
green tropical rain forest and situated on a mountain
river.
Gitgit Waterfall is located in a plateau, about 300 me-
ters above sea level. It is the height of about 40 me-
ters, surrounded by tropical trees and a lush green
environment. The way to Gitgit Waterfall is paved with
lots of stalls and on either side of the path you can find
some lush plantations (coffee and cloves). The sellers
are not aggressive at all and you can finally enjoy a 15
minute walk without getting hassled by anyone.
Penglipuran Village in the traditional Balinese country-
side is located in the Bangli regency, about an hour and
30 minute trip from Kuta. See the original Balinese way
of living, visit traditional houses and talk to the locals.
To keep this outstanding cultural attraction going, the
family agreement is that the oldest family member has
to move back to Penglipuran after both parents have
passed away. A must see for Culture Lovers!
Banjar Hot Spring Bali is a very peaceful place where
plenty of locals come for relaxation as well. The toilets
are clean, well maintained and lockers are available.
One of the pools can be described as a kid’s pool and if
you are travelling with the whole family, you can splash
around with your children here. A local Restaurant pro-
vides basic food and cold drinks and some smaller sou-
venir shops are waiting for you to bargain with them.
38

SIGHTSEEING
Mount Batur’s original height was about 4,000 meters
in prehistoric times. After an enormous eruption noth-
ing was left apart from a large caldera which in 2012
became part of the Global Geopark Network by UN-
ESCO. The actual height of Mount Batur is 1,717 me-
ters. Mount Batur offers a great opportunity to all cy-
cling and trekking fanatics. The Sunrise Trekking Tour is
highly recommended to all those who are physically fit.
Sukawati Art Market is the biggest local market in
Bali to purchase traditional handicrafts and traditional
handmade products, spanning over many blocks on
the main road of Sukawati. It can get very interesting
when you arrive at the “food department” as this area
is extremely local. You should NOT go there if you have
a weak constitution! The Trip from Kuta to Sukawati Art
Market on average takes one hour.
About a 45 minute trip away from Kuta, in the regency
of Tabanan, you are able to find a very interesting but
widely ignored attraction; The Subak Museum. Subak
stands for a very ingenious water irrigation manage-
ment system which was developed in Bali hundreds
of years ago but is still in use. A visit to this museum
teaches you about Bali’s agricultural tradition with the
use of numerous farming related exhibits.
Subak Museum
New Kuta Beach
Sukawati Art Market
Mount Batur
Formerly known as Dreamland, New Kuta Beach looks
like it is slowly but steadily transforming into one of
Bali’s most luxurious development projects. New Kuta
Golf, Klapa Beach Club and Greenpark Waterpark are
just some of the projects which have finished over the
last couple of years in this area. Enjoy some sunset
cocktails at Klapa or play 18 rounds at New Kuta Golf,
Bali’s popular cliff edged Golf Course.
39

SIGHTSEEING
The 5 Prayer Houses
Bird Markets Denpasar
Seminyak Beach
Monkey Forest
The Monkey forest is located in Bali’s cultural capital
‘Ubud’ and roughly an hour’s trip from the major cities
in the south. The Monkey forest became one of Bali’s
most popular sightseeing destinations and plenty of
guides put it on their selection of tours. This is because
you can see plenty of wild monkeys and it’s the perfect
place to go with kids. Be aware of thieving monkeys
and make sure you don’t wear any sunglasses, caps or
necklaces and take care of your wallet.
The Bird Markets are very local markets. The biodiver-
sity of the shown birds in such a small area is simply
amazing and reminds more to a Zoo then a market.
Hundreds of birds are waiting for a new owner. Howev-
er not only Birds can be found at Bali’s major Bird Mar-
kets in Denpasar. Puppies, cats, bats, monkeys and
other exotic creatures can be bought too. Warning:
Most of the cages are inappropriate for the species.
Seminyak Beach is very well known. It perfectly com-
bines relaxation, dining and nightlife. As with plenty of
other places located on Bali’s west coast, it is a great
spot to see Bali’s wonderful sunsets. Plenty of restau-
rants and beach bars in every price category stretch
along the area known as ‘double six’. The most popular
beach club there is called Cocoon, it’s very well known
for its sophisticated parties such as the Splash Party.
It is a myth that religions can’t live in peace and harmo-
ny next to each other. See a Protestant and a Catholic
Church next to a Buddhist or Hindu temple as well as a
Muslim mosque nearby. Some of these prayer houses
are open for public for a little donation and if you are in
Nusa Dua or Jimbaran you shouldn’t miss out on the
opportunity to see, maybe the only place in the world
where religions are ‘that close’ to each other.
40

Karangasem Regency became the spot for the
biggest Temple in Bali, Besakih Temple. The tem-
ple is visited by local residents as well as tourists.
There is also a water park, Tirta Gangga Water
palace, rice fields, rolling hills and crystal clear wa-
ter. Taman Ujung Karangasem is one of the main
attractions in 10 Hectares of Karangasem made
by three architects from Bali, the Netherlands and
China. (Bali Map)
Bangli Regency attractions can be found at Bukit
Jati, which is an ideal place for Hiking and Trek-
king, visiting Historic Villages and the Penglipuran
Temple. In the mountainous areas around Kin-
tamani, there are Mount Batur and Lake Batur
which is the largest lake in Bali. It has natural hot
springs in Toyabungkah. Bangli District is the only
district in Bali that does not have a beach. (Bali
Map)
Denpasar is the economic center of Bali. There
is a Bajra Sandhi museum of heroes and Ba-
linese statues which have become a symbol of
Denpasar. The unique Kreneng night market,
Denpasar Cultural Park (Art Center) and the Bali
museum are all located in the heart of Denpasar.

impressive amount of bats inside. (Bali Map)
Jembrana Regency is located in the West and has
numerous tourist areas, Medewi Beach which is
