An awesome place : Bali

Bali is an incredible country, so much colour, a must see for any travel enthusiast. In the Singaraja region in Bali’s north, Sekumpul Waterfall, actually a series of about seven falls, is considered by many to be Bali’s most beautiful falls. Most hikers hire a local guide to do the three- to four-hour round-trip trek, which passes by bristling rice terraces and local villages rimmed with rambutan and durian trees, and continues through dense tropical jungle. It can be strenuous in parts, as you need to hike down slippery steps and slosh through a river, but once you arrive, you can cool off with a refreshing swim at the base of the falls. This is a great adventure for nature lovers who want a taste of wild Bali far from the touristy resorts.

Gili Air is kind of a mix of Gili Meno and Gili T. Personally it’s the one I’d skip if you could only visit two of the islands, but it does have all the attributes of an island paradise, so it could be a good option. Getting to the Gili Islands: You can catch a fast ferry from Bali to the Gili Islands – it’ll take a few hours all up and can be booked from popular destinations in Bali such as Seminyak and Kuta. It’s not the cheapest option and apparently the seas can get rough, but it’s the most common way to get there. You can also take a public ferry to Lombok (from Padang Bai in Bali) then travel overland to Bangsal where you can take a local boat to your island of choice. Another option is to fly to Lombok then organise transport to Bangsal. Read extra details at Bali to Gili.

Set within the lush Bali Botanical Garden, Bali Treetop Adventure Park offers fun for people of all ages. Old and young alike can complete various challenges in the trees, with different courses available. There are seven circuits at different heights; yellow is for smaller kids while black offers the most adrenaline-inducing fun. All safety equipment is provided. The views from the ropewalks and high activities are beautiful too, and you can take time to relax in the scenic surroundings. There are more than 70 exciting challenges, ranging from nets and swings to balancing blocks and jumps. The ziplines let you admire the views as you soar through the air.

Tanah Lot Temple is probably the most famous attraction in Bali and is a Hindu temple that sits atop a large and scenic rock formation. Over the years the sea has separated the rock from the mainland, and at high tide the rock is completely surrounded making this one of the most amazing sights in Indonesia. Many people flock here for the sunsets around the temple so make sure you go early to get the best spot to watch the spectacle. When the tide is low it is possible to walk across the sand to the temple.

Gili Meno is the smallest of the three Gili Islands and a perfect setting for your desert-island fantasy with a ‘castaway’ atmosphere. Surrounded by white beaches and idyllic blue seas with colorful reefs and plenty of underwater life in all shapes, forms, and colors. Apart from being the smallest, Gili Meno is also the most traditional and quietest of the three Gili Islands, making it a popular destination for couples, honeymooners, divers and travelers who seek a more peaceful atmosphere.
