Bali is possibly the most well known of the Indonesian islands with a reputation for excellent beaches and beachside resorts, great surfing and a varied and pulsing nightlife. However, head away from the glitz and the glamour and discover a considerably slower pace of life and an island with much to offer. Be amazed by the almost unreal greenness of the centuries-old Jatiluwih rice terraces, trek the jungle-clad slopes of Gunung Batukau or take the plunge into one of the many cascading waterfalls near the small mountain-top village of Munduk. Discover the myriad birdlife in Bali’s only national park, the remote Bali Barat National Park, home to the rare Bali Starling or delve into the cultural nerve centre at Ubud where local artisans produce such an array of quality crafts it can be overwhelming to choose between them.
