Bali has everything you might want, from shopping to a vacation in the beauty of nature. Since there is only so much time you can spend in the city, there is nearly too much going on, which makes planning your vacation virtually difficult.
The 10 insanely beautiful places to visit in Bali are listed here to assist you in making that difficult choice.
10) Pura Tanah Lot
Simply because of its beautiful location, Pura Tanah Lot ought to be near the top of your list of places to visit. The famous temple, which is 20 kilometers northwest of Kuta, is astonishingly constructed on a rocky islet against which waves constantly crash. Although it might seem a little risky, the temple has stood atop the islet since the beginning of the 16th century. In addition to the picturesque vista, Pura Tanah Lot provides you with an unrivaled location for taking pictures. Some of your best clicks ever can be provided by Pura Tanah Lot.
Don’t forget to stroll around and climb to the lookout point for a beautiful perspective of the temple and the area.
9) Mount Batur
Traveling to Bali means visiting some of the most beautiful places on the planet, and Mount Batur is by far the best. It is not the highest peak in the world, but it is a fantastic trek because of this. The view of the sunset you see from the peak makes the hike even more memorable. It’s private, unique, and loving. The peak offers a stunning perspective over the mountains in the area, as well as the enormous Lake Batur. It’s the ideal location for a private picnic.
8) Ubud Monkey Forest
Indonesia’s diverse wildlife and access to it is a defining feature of the country for tourists. It’s about a 10-minute walk away from Ubud, Bali, and puts you in the middle of one of Bali’s most beautiful locales. The Ubud Monkey Forest is not just full of monkeys, but also great sculptures and statues highlighting the unique connection with nature. It’s packed with ancient temples which emphasize the harmonious coexistence of Bali’s humans with wildlife. Just make sure you keep your belongings close because the monkeys love to snatch things away.
There was one experience that I will never forget. My friend and I were wearing our sunglasses to the top to see the stunning outlook point when suddenly my glasses were taken from behind. I screamed and looked back, thinking it was my friend, who asked why I was screaming. However, before I could respond, I saw that a monkey had just snatched my friend’s sunglasses from behind. It was hysterically funny.
We were able to reclaim our glasses because a worker at the facility gave the monkey fruit and took the glasses as the monkey reached for the fruit.
Given that we had to give him some money, I believe it is a means for the employees to earn extra cash. However, the sunglasses were still in good condition, with just a small monkey bite on the frame of my friend’s glasses..
7) Puri Saren Royal Ubud Palace
Because of Eat, Pray, Love, the Puri Saren palace, also known as the Ubud art and culture hub, is one of the most visited places in Indonesia. It is where Bali’s art and cultural movement began, growing amidst the nearby temples and palaces. The region is now filled with museums and art galleries that highlight the development of Bali’s artistic and cultural movement while also paying homage to the area’s past. While you’re there, be sure to visit the Ubud Art Market. There might be some amazing souvenirs there for you to find.
6) Tirta Gangga Water Palace
While most tourists to Bali choose to stay in Amed, there is much more to discover within a short distance from the beach town. One of the world’s most spiritual locations is only thirty minutes away at the Tirta Gangga Water Place. The Hindu temple has a stunning network of pools and fountains, many of which are filled with fish that swim only inches from your feet. Of course, you can feed the fish while learning about the temple’s rich history.
5) Lempuyang Temple: Gate of Heaven
Lempuyang Temple, situated 600 meters above sea level and on the slope of Mount Lempuyang, is a must-see attraction when in Bali. The temple, appropriately known as the Gate of Heaven, was built before the majority of Bali’s other Hindu temples. The Lempuyang Temple, one of Bali’s six holiest sites, offers fantastic photo opportunities. You can also witness the rituals performed at the temple in addition to that. Although there is a small entrance fee, you should not let that discourage you.
4) Nusa Dua Beach
Bali’s many landscapes include a gorgeous beach that you must visit one afternoon. Not too hot and with the sun gently steaming down on the beach, Nusa Dua is an incredible place to spend your time. What makes Nusa Dua beach all the more impressive is the beautiful sea that you get to look at the entire time. It’s dark blue, pollution-free, and beautiful. It’s the perfect place to rest and relax in Bali.
3) Kuta Beach
The Kuta beach is a more dynamic option than Nusa Dua if you wish to explore more of Bali’s coastline. It’s equally stunning, but in addition to unwinding, you can also take the opportunity to surf, jet ski, and engage in a variety of other exciting sports that will make you excited. It’s a chance to make your life more enjoyable and to make the most of your time in Bali.
I did spend a full day at the beach, body surfing, eating fresh coconuts, getting a massage, and eating lunch there. One of the most tranquil ways to relax after all your exploring. Also, when you’re here, be sure to catch a sunset; the sunset from Kuta Beach will leave you in awe.
2) Nusa Penida
Another lovely island that provides you with a lovely refuge during your trip to Indonesia is Nusa Penida, just outside of Bali’s main island. The island of Nusa Penida is teeming with fascinating places to explore. The Bali Bird Sanctuary might very well serve as the major draw for an entire week’s worth of travel arrangements to Nusa Penida. It is also home to stunning beaches, waterfalls, and excellent diving locations. Additionally, a dive will bring you close to coral sites that cover more than 1,400 hectares if you enjoy marine life.
1) Sekumpul Waterfall
To round up our immersive look into what Bali’s landscape has to offer, we end up at Sekumpul Waterfall. The waterfall, which lies 66 kilometers north of Ubud, is regarded by many as Bali’s and Indonesia’s most spectacular. Even simply getting there, which requires hiking trails till you reach the remote waterfall, is breathtaking and refreshing.
