The road continuing east from Kusamba runs parallel to
lovely seascapes close to Goa Lawah, the Bat Cave, the walls of which vibrate
with thousands of bats - their bodies packed so close together that the upper
surface of the cave resembles undulating mud. Being an extraordinary
phenomenon, Goa Lawah is considered holy. A temple with shrines protects the
entrance. The cave is said to extend all the way back to Besakih,

Candi Dasa, relaxing place of Eastern Bali
Thanks to the fact that Candi Dasa is not such
a preferred and developed traveler resort, most of the Candi Dasa hotels that
are available are directly situated on the beach and are spread out over a big
distance surrounded by tropical gardens and dense vegetation with stunning
views of the sea. Some
of Bali's most beautiful scenery can be found in Candi Dasa, a secluded beach
town situated in the northeast of Bali away from the bustling traveler resorts
like Kuta and Sunar. Here rather than the stunning white sand, the beach is
covered in black sand with a backdrop of giant mountains covered with rice
terraces and dense tropical forests all under shadows of the towering and
impressive volcano and so it is extremely popular with couples having a Bali
wedding.

Jimbaran, the perfect combination between seafood and sunset
Jimbaran is just south of the
airport and Kuta. That all
started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class
5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. The bay
itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three
clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw
in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.
Jimbaran
is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500
students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. Jimbaran
has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no
nightlife here.

Ubud, central of Balinese culture
What is it about Ubud that one
should visit this beautiful village? Because Ubud has much to offer; from its
stunning panorama of Ayung River valley and the terraces rice filed, its most
talented artist, its typical traditional market and myriad of shops that line
the road is a heaven for shopping, its undying culture, its serene environs and
plentiful of nice small hotels and restaurants and many more.
Ubud has no great beaches to speak
of, no mountain lakes, and no grand hotels .Yet it has the richness of soil and
it is the center of Bali's art and culture. If you do not stay in Ubud, or you do
not have much time during your Bali Holiday, a visit is worth because it would
offer you a memorable stay in Bali.

Kuta Beach
It
seems that almost all the time, Kuta pops up to the top of the itinerary list
when one starts their plan to visit Bali. "If you have not been to Kuta,
you have not been to Bali," as the saying goes.
It
is often confusing when one mentions the word Kuta. Just try doing a Google
search, and it will return at least a hundred different hotels
and restaurants. Officially speaking, Google is right. After all, Kuta actually
represents the name of a district in Bali, covering a total area of 17.52 km2.
But the heart of Kuta - where all excitements are happening, kids are building
their sand castle, novices are picking up surfing - stretches only about 1 km
long.

Regency. It is about 13 kilometers from the closest city of Tabanan, about 30 kilometers
from the main city of Denpasar. It can be reached by motorcycle and road fairly
good.
The spectacular Tanah Lot is possibly the best known and
most photo-graphed temple in Bali. The tourist crowed here are phenomenal,
especially at the sunset, and commercial hype is terrible. Tanah Lot tours are
heavily promoted in all tourist areas. The temple perched on the little rocky
islet, look superb whether delicately lit by the dawn light or starkly outlined
at sunset. But can it ever live up to the hype.
