| Bali Travel Guide for backpackers |
Bali is a beautiful picturesque island, with rice paddies that trip down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes that soar through the clouds, forests that are lush and tropical and beaches that are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Bali's original charm is still much in evidence, its stunning temples and spectacular festivals set off by the gorgeously lush landscape of the interior.
Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six–kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. |
