Description
Some destinations go beyond just their physical or geographical entity, Bali is one such place. Often described as ‘a state of mind’, Bali means different things to a wide variety of travellers who land on its shores. An island with a unique cultural blend, Bali fuses Hinduism with animism, which lends a distinct character that draws people to book Bali packages from across the globe. Its fascinating temples – in the sea, by the lakeside, in rice fields, on hilltops – paint a dreamlike countryside. Many Indians and Nepalese book Bali holiday packages to connect with a culture that has many common traditions. Europeans, especially from the colder climes up north, are drawn by Bali’s idyllic setting by the warm sea. Australians and Americans are attracted to its awesome surfing sites among other things. Likewise, travellers with a creative meant of mind love the artistic traditions of Ubud, while party goers chill around the beaches of Kuta, and the luxury traveller heads out to Nusa Dua with its up market properties like the Ritz-Carlton.
The tropical island with sunny beaches, gentle people, warm hospitality, lush rainforests and a plethora of great surfing sites from Kuta and Canggu to the offbeat Medewi, is a big draw for Bali tour package buyers through the year. Of the over 17000 islands that make up Indonesia, Bali stands out for its blend of culture and landscape.
Bali has two main seasons – dry and wet. The dry season spans from April to September, while the wet season is from October to April. Humidity is relatively lower during dry season making it an ideal time for outdoor activities. Beach activities like surfing, riding on a scooter across the 150 kilometer wide by 110 long island, and hiking to the hills are popular during this period. The cooler wet season is better for indoor activities, and going on trails into the rainforests in and around Ubud. This is also a good time for budget travelers, with chances of attractive accommodation rates being high. It pours heavily for a few hours and then clears up. Expect sunshine and clear days even during the wet season.
Peak travel time during the dry season for Bali is July-August, when much of the Europe and North America takes time off during summers to travel. Similarly, the year-end rush for Bali begins from mid-December to early Jan coinciding with the Christmas-New Year break.
