REG NO. 841/22-08/PK/XII/2009 Even if it is raining, one doesn’t have any reasons to worry, for several actions and attractions such as white water rafting and waterfalls are at their best conditions during the rainy season. To learn more about what to do during this rainy season, you can visit the Explore Bali booth in Oberoi (opposite the Mykonos restaurant).

Anyway, we don’t mean to be thematic, but we are showing you animals in this issue’s The Mag. That’s right, Bali is swamped with stray animals; one of which is the Bali dogs. Love them or hate them, the Bali dogs are seriously everywhere to be found on the island. In fact, we have stickers saying “I Bali Dogs” to show how celebrated these dogs are (see page 16). We are also taking you to Petulu, an Ubud village and the home to thousands of herons. Watching the herons arriving above from the sky and roosting on their comfortable withy beds to rest will certainly leave an unforgettable experience on your travel diary (see page 30).

Our other regular columns are still here; therefore, enjoy reading! And enjoy Bali, too!

One of the most frequent questions we were asked by those considering a trip to Bali was “when is the rainy season?” It’s a reasonable question, as we all know how much the weather can affect a holiday, when we have a finite amount of time and most likely quite a few outdoor activities planned.

Rainy or Sunny, Bali is the Place!

Bali Dogs

T Y P IC A L BA L I

If by any chance you are somewhere in Bali and you see this sticker saying “I Bali Dogs” stuck on a car’s back window and/or a motorbike, it is just an expression to show how special and identical Bali dogs are. Bali dogs are the kind of dog that will bark at the moon and then bark at other dogs barking at the moon. In short, Bali dogs bark at almost everything: pedestrians, motorbikes, cats, other dogs, nothings.

That’s right, Bali is swamped with stray (or not stray) dogs; and they can get annoying sometimes. But, of course, this is nothing to worry about as most of the Bali dogs are just noisy rather than aggressive. The Balinese people often name these dogs and allow them to hang around as a semi-pet. Unfortunately many of these creatures appear close to death, or at least far from even looking healthy. One occasionally sees the remains of a creature that didn’t make it pass the rear wheels of a car.

Many of the stray Bali dogs are currently being poisoned or stolen, often for meat. Others are starved, beaten or neglected, but there is no law to protect them. This is the reason why a number of animal welfare organizations have been working proactively to educate children in the correct treatment of companion animals and are providing free medical care to street dogs and dogs owned by Balinese residence including sterilization, ambulance services and a rescue program.

The dogs in most parts of Kuta and Seminyak areas are considerably ‘quieter’ if compared to those in Denpasar. If the aggressive-looking ones get too close to you, just pick up a stone and show an intention of throwing it towards them. They will normally back off. You might also need to be extra careful when riding a motorbike, because these dogs tend to dart out in front of you.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

ulkul, the Balinese slit gong, is made of long, hollowed-out wooden block (normally teak) on which the upper end is carved into anthropomorphic heads. The size of a kulkul is determined by the size of the tower as its carrier; a bigger

tower needs a bigger kulkul. The kulkul tower can be found in one corner of the front courtyard of the temple. It is either free standing or a part of the architecture of the temple wall that runs along the road.

The Balinese people believe that the sound of kulkul is as powerful as the voice of the gods. Therefore, only certain people (such as the chief of a hamlet) have the privilege to sound kulkul; and once it is hit and the sound sweeps the houses or rice fields, the Balinese people will promptly stop their activities to obey the message the sound summons. The rhythm of kulkul determines the message conveyed by the sound. The most distinguishable rhythm is the rapid, repetitious sound that signifies an emergency situation, whether it is a robbery, conflagration, or a fight.

Anyway, kulkul in every region in Bali shares common physical characteristics and functions, but the one in Klungkung regency is the most intriguing. Local stories say that this particular kulkul has the so-called auto-pilot system; this means, no one needs to hit it in order for the kulkul to send out a message; and that it will only sound whenever Bali is expecting huge calamities. Yet, though it is located in Klungkung, the people in the area can never hear the sound when the kulkul is ‘automatically’ sending out a warning. Instead, the people in Singaraja (northern Bali) and even Negara (western Bali) can receive the message very clearly.

The kulkul was last heard sending out a warning the night before the first Bali bombing in 2002. The thing is, this particular kulkul doesn’t specify the kind of catastrophe Bali is going to receive; so people can only prepare themselves for the worst.

IN FOCUS

The ‘Silent’ Padang Galak

magine yourself being in a horror movie, in a park with ‘ghost’ amusement rides. A strewn, rusty signboard saying “welcome” to apparently no one but you acts as a mute

greeting before you finally walk along in between the profusely-dusted, abandoned buildings and steps. To make it even more horror-perfect, you’d be having pairs of unfriendly eyes emerging from the algae-covered water watching you. Fallen dry leaves would frequently fly here and there as the wind sweeps the ground, accompanying you as you nervously rush through.

We are talking about one of Bali’s best-kept secrets known as Taman Festival (literally means Festival Park) in Padang Galak. This place was initially constructed as an amusement park until, sadly, the money ran out and the construction was put to a stop. Even though it’s dead, life is still going on inside the park. Going further down the park, you will find a huge pit full of snapping handbags—dozens of them. Unknown by many, Taman Festival is the home of heaps of, just like the park, abandoned crocodiles. In their squalid condition, these crocodiles are very much dependent on the locals to throw in food for them. Yet, this will only happen whenever the locals find road kill and rotten meat.

Not very far from the Taman Festival is the Padang Galak Monument. Bali’s tourism received a great shock not very long after the island opened its door to the world in 1974, when a Pan American Airways airplane crashed in Singaraja, northern Bali. A monument to honor this tragedy was erected and is still standing near Padang Galak Beach up until today. Yet, as sad as the tragedy, this monument is somewhat neglected—let alone the hidden location that makes it hard to find. Although a little tribute seems to be paid (you can still see some offerings laid there), it’s peculiar to learn how most of the residents there are not aware of the existence of this monument.

While the monument’s surroundings are quite pristine, it’s strange that the area doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It would help, actually, if the bushes were flattened out and the road is made better to turn this place into a memorial park. Aside from making an easy access, especially for families of the victims to visit, such a park would give contribution and bring ‘lights’ for Padang Galak—an area known as a dark corner for prostitution.

As above the water, the scene below the water is also one of the great spectacles. The beautiful walls of Menjangan Island offer a chance to relax in surroundings unmatched anywhere else in Bali. The world class muck diving at PJ and Secret Bay offers a different point of view. Rare and unusual marine life is the go here. These locations are a macro photographers’ paradise.

Passion for FashionDwi Iskandar

A used-to-be-professional in the hospitality industry, Dwi Iskandar

has now become one of the brightest young stars to come out of the Bali fashion scene. Unifying the ethnic-contemporary tenets of bespoke tailoring with his unique sense of color, cut and detail, Dwi applies his original style to a number of collections. His workload includes Dwi Iskandar and Dwico, a selection of contradictory collections yet he still has time to actively involve in the Indonesian Fashion Designers Association (APPMI).

We understand that you worked in the hospitality industry before, what made you decide to eventually become a fashion designer?That’s right, I went to a tourism school. Well, I don’t know… I just have this certain passion for fashion.

Dwi Iskandar, the haute couture collection

How did you start your career as a fashion designer?Well, I started out by opening a boutique in Sanur. That was in 2001. But I didn’t have my own label then. I only modified whatever I could find in my closet and sold them. Fortunately, the customers loved my creations; and so I was triggered to purely create something on my own.

Can you tell us about Dwi Iskandar and Dwico?Dwi Iskandar is the label for my haute couture, while Dwico is a line focusing on hotel uniforms.

What do you enjoy most from being a fashion designer?I really enjoy dressing people. When people come to me, and I put an outfit together for them and they look fantastic—they’re really happy. You see… some people have problems in finding something to wear that really fits and suits them; it’s because they are either too small or too big. I also enjoy the act of creating clothes.

How often do you hold fashion shows in a year?Two to four shows in a year. I also organize exhibitions, though not as often now.

Are you working on some projects right now?Yes. Designers of APPMI are holding a fashion show this coming October 17 in The Laguna Resort, Nusa Dua. I’m currently busy preparing my collection for the show, and I’m also in the committee of the event.

What is your best fashion show memory?Oh, it was the one in San Francisco. I received great responses from the audience. The participants were also great; I had Miss Teen USA and Miss Asian-American, who was an Indonesian then, wearing my designs.

FEATURE STORY

HERONSOF PETULU

THE MAG ISSUE 30 31

eing a part of Ubud district, Petulu is a village famous for its artists, dancers and carvers of stone and wood. The quiet atmosphere of this village offers a traditional glimpse of Bali

within one of the most scenic settings on the island, where one can see modesty of the villagers as they skillfully make palm-leaf trays to lay their offerings in pristine natural surroundings. Petulu is about its villagers and residents, especially those returning home from a day’s labor, arriving above from the sky and roosting on their comfortable withy beds to rest.

It was 25 October 1965 when all the villagers of Petulu held a big ceremony called Ngusa Benining, a ritual to purify their neighborhood from all evil aspects. Later that same year, on 7 November 1965, the many prayers calling out for peace were at last answered with the arrival of thousands of white herons, flying creatures the villagers see

At dusk thousands of herons nest in trees lining the main road of Petulu, a

small village north of Ubud.

as holy and blessed. Excitement was sealing the air as these birds were disembarking from the sky; and as respectful and grateful as they always are, the villagers held Pemagpag, a ceremony to welcome the new inhabitants in their village.

There is also a belief that these herons are reincarnation of thousands of Balinese who were slaughtered in a massacre during the Indonesian Communist Party regime in the 60s, when an anti-communist witch hunt swept over the nation. A statement from I Wayan Kecug, a native of Petulu village, confirmed the myth that these ‘souls of the slaughtered’ appeared in the village exactly one week after an attempted communist coup led to failure on 30 September 1965. “No herons had been seen in Petulu back then,” Mr. Kecug said, adding that the birds have been coming every afternoon since.

THE MAG ISSUE 3032

Another indication suggesting that the herons are holy is the spot where these birds have chosen to lay their nests. The herons only occupy the trees by the roadsides stretching from the temples Desa Dan Puseh in the north to Agung Basukih in the south—around 400m long. Mr. Kecug further explained that ever since their first appearance in the village, these herons have never built a nest in any areas behind the villagers’ home for it is believed that the back part of a house is meant for something not clean—such as toilets.

Surely, Petulu will leave an unforgettable afternoon for everyone visiting the area; especially when flows of the herons are flocking the village to roost there. Standing on the rim of the rice fields with your head looking up straight observing the sky provides a magical vision—the blue sky above turns crimson with little white dots of the herons from a distance that will gradually grow bigger as they are approaching and flying low before finally hopping onto their nests. As the sun sets, the trees of Petulu would change make-up into white as the herons nest there.

Yet, another interesting approach to observe the herons is by the roadsides—the viewpoints from where one can see how these herons are very much like the human residents of the village. Unlike the typical members of egrets’ genus that tend to congregate, the ones in Petulu are very individual. On the road, you can always expect to see a villager woman carrying banana leaves on her head walking with

bare-naked feet from the field; a man with a sickle in one hand and weeds in another; an egret gracefully walking with a twig in its bill.

Just like their fellow humans, egrets of Petulu are at their fullest liberty wandering around the village area with no fear of being shot, disturbed or anything: walking down the road, crossing and flying very low come easily to these birds. Watching the villagers sharing the road with the egrets, even walking side by side at times, gives the kind of vista that no words or pictures could flawlessly describe. It’s like a world told in fantastical tales or any adventurous dreams, where humans are not the only talking and walking ‘animals’. However, you might need to get a safe spot or walk quickly under the trees if the herons are already roosting, for the copious droppings on the road will indicate if it’s wise not to hang around.

Just like their fellow humans, egrets of Petulu are at their fullest liberty wandering around the village area with no fear of being shot, disturbed

or anything: walking down the road, crossing and flying very low come easily to these birds.

GETAWAY

The Sacred Monkey Foresthe Sacred Monkey Forest is one of Bali’s main attractions that has always been high on the list of must-sees. Over 200 monkeys now live here, a huge increase on numbers that had

been dwindling in the wild for decades. The surrounding area is home to a number of Balinese communities that still follow the traditional Balinese lifestyles.

True to its name, the sanctuary is home to three troupes of long-tailed Balinese Macaques. The monkeys can be occasionally aggressive and will go for your food without asking first. The monkeys won’t bite you, but they will gang up and start hissing before they begin their attack on your food supplies and it can be a scary experience. So it’s better to not show any signs that you have food in your bag or elsewhere. But if you feel like feeding them, it’s advised to consult with the forest’s rangers. The monkeys aren’t dangerous but if you are bitten and blood is drawn, you will need to take evasive action in regards to tetanus and hepatitis as with any animal bites.

Called Wanara Wana in the Balinese language, monkey forests are spread out in the island; and Ubud’s monkey forest holds a very important function to maintain the continuity of the monkey habitat in Bali. The local communities, meanwhile, play an important role to keep this forest natural in order to all wild animals able to live smoothly.

In addition to the monkeys, the forest is home to three temples, dating from around the 14th century. The largest is the Pura Dalem Agung, located on the highest point of the forest. A path through the trunk of a huge tree and across a small creek leads to the Holy Bathing Temple. The third temple, the Pura Prajapati, is a cremation temple and located next to one of the two graveyards in the monkey forest.

THE TEN

RejangRejang is a slow dance in which the dancers (who are all females) move in a slow and noble fashion towards the altar, twirling fans or lifting their sashes. Their costumes range from a very simple attire to an elaborate dress complete with headdress.

Ten Dramatic Balinese Dances

long with the Hindu religion, Indian influences in Balinese dances are also significant. Balinese strong identity

adapts these various influences with native religion of animism and folklore traditions, creating an expression distinctively flavored by Balinese ethnicity. Some of the dances are intended to appease the gods and goddesses, with the hope that they will bless the village. Other dances also manifest the great complexity of Balinese daily lives which are never detached from their religious beliefs. Much like the training of gamelan orchestra players, dance training begins when one is still very young.

BarisLiterally means warrior formation, Baris is a warrior dance usually danced by men. The movements are dramatic. It is hard to distinguish whether it is the dancer that follows the orchestra, or the other way around. You could say that they both go off into their own dimensions, yet at certain well-defined times meet to create an astounding tapestry. The dancers wear elaborate head decoration, from a gold-colored head band to leaves and strings of frangipani blossoms.

PendetThis dance is usually performed by married women, moving in very dignified and elegant way to carry and present offerings to the gods and the goddesses.

BarongBarong is probably the most well-known dance that narrates the fight between good and evil. This dance is the classic example of Balinese way of acting out mythology, resulting in myth and history being blended into one reality.

Sang Hyang Dedari (Trance Dance)This dance is performed to entertain the gods and the goddesses to appease them or to ask for their blessings. A bad harvest or an outburst of an illness may call for such a dance. The preparation for this dance may take months, as prepubescent girls who have never danced are trained to relax their mind to be able to get into a trance state. When the priest concludes that they are ready, and the time is right, the dance will be performed in the court of the temple.

JangerJanger is performed by young girls. The girls are open shouldered, dressed in a piece of cloth wrapped around the chest, and a Batik wrap on the waist down. Most of the dances are performed sitting down, with highly coordinated hand, shoulder, and eye movements.

KebyarKebyar is usually danced by two women with beautiful, long, shiny black hair accentuated at the top by a band of frangipani blossoms. Fans on one hand, they move dramatically. Feet are strongly grounded, and hands and feet move abruptly.

8 9GambuhGambuh is a danced drama. It tells the courtly story of a Javanese prince in his quest for a beautiful Balinese princess.

LegongThe dance of Legong is the most feminine dance. It is usually danced by two females before they reach puberty (in fact, they must retire by the time they reach puberty).

KecakThis dance is also known as The Monkey Dance, for the movements may remind us of monkey’s movements. There can literally be one hundred or more bare-chested men, sitting down on the ground surrounding the bonfire, led by a priest in the middle.

Kupu-Kupu Foundation

A non-profit, non-governmental organization, Kupu-Kupu Foundation aims to improve the lives of the physically and mentally- disabled children, adolescents and adults in Bali. Story of the foundation began in 1998 when Begonia Lopez, a visitor to Bali who later founded the foundation, met three handicapped brothers with a disability called “sensitive bones”. After that meeting, not satisfied with just being a tourist, she decided to do some volunteer work. Until 2002, the foundation was operating without any formal organization.

Kupu-Kupu has two centers, in Ubud and Bangli. The Ubud centre is built with a school and workshop where handicapped people can meet, socialize and obtain support. Many handicapped people have some skills but are disadvantaged because of lack of mobility and

being far away from the tourist areas of the island. The center provides a meeting place for the foundation’s activities. These activities include a school that teaches basic numeracy and literacy skills. There is also a physiotherapy room at the centre and facilities for groups to stay overnight for special events and activities.

Later in 2009, Begonia decided to establish another centre in Bangli, because the area is quite isolated and transportation to other areas in Bali is much more difficult. People, especially those who are disabled, have many more difficulties with mobility. A bus is provided at the center to collect students on a daily basis to help address this problem. Without the bus many of the students—who mainly live in the small villages—would not be able to attend the centre.

Kupu-Kupu Foundation is always desperately in need of funds to keep its operations going. Any help in any way you can will make a big difference.

SELAMAT MAKAN

he Bali food scene just seems to keep on getting better, and better. Once again the pleasant surprises

were not just limited to the new elite up-market restaurants, although there were some wonderful ones, it has rather been the constant stream of high quality, yet budget-priced restaurants that excite most. La’ Casa in Legian, as an example, is one of those restaurants that have finally flown under the radar of food enthusiasts.

Eating in Legian comes at many levels and costs; and La’ Casa is one place that offers good value and above average quality. It’s a warm and homey restaurant, with an honest, dedicated team that has made the place as one of the area’s most popular eateries, offering a wonderfully diverse menu. The food is stunning and so is the ambience.

The live music is pumpin’, and anyone who can play guitar is encouraged to come up and play a song with the band; and quite a few actually do. While you’re there, feel free to request a song or jump up on the mic.

With more than 20 years of experience as a chef, Made Suwada (the man behind La’ Casa) knows exactly how to build a fine reputation and keep his steady flow of loyal customers satisfied. Sampling a few of the delicacies offered on the menu, we ordered Ceramcam Segare (seafood combination and beans, stewed with golden shallots and coconut milk) and Reef n’ Beef (grilled beef fillet with prawn barbecue). Both dishes were enjoyable in taste and presentation.

In La’ Casa, you can get your fill without draining your wallet (or money belt). This fuss-free restaurant also offers the opportunity to rub shoulders with everyday locals, the staff members.

Bali SurfspotsMedewi

Medewi is a fun wave for all surfers. It can be a bit fat, but has its day. Come early to avoid onshore winds. This spot handles bigger swells also.

Balian

Balian is a swell magnet and a quiet spot in North Bali. This break is getting more crowded as more accommodation is build daily. Its playful lefts and rights are great for beginners and advanced surfers alike. This spot doesn't like bigger swells.

Canggu & Perenan

Canggu always gets more swell than Kuta beach. It actually consists of a few different breaks; The right breaks better on a mid to high tide and is a great performance wave. The sandbank is better on a lower tide and is in front of the restaurants, it's fun to watch the surfers hit the lip whilst enjoying the delicious food. Canggu is becoming a very popular tourist spot, the sunday barbeque gets more packed every week.

Kuta Reef

Kuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is quite consistent. There are a few breaks here: Airports rights and left, Middles and Kuta reef. MayÐOctober (dry season) is the best time of the year for waves here. It gets crowded due to its close proximity to Kuta.

Belangan

Belangan is known for its longs peeling walls. It does get sectiony, so you have to race a bit. Belangan handles big swells and can offer good barrels on the right direction. On the wrong swell direction, it tends to close out. It's a beautiful beach, great to spend the day!

Dreamland

Dreamland was famous because it was a 'dreamy' spot, with the building of 'New Kuta beach' the dream became a nightmare. A beautiful green cliff made place for concrete jungle, the worst example of so-called progress. The wave is still there, a nice peak

and a fun beach break. There's a great shore break on a bigger swell, where many a tourist has lost their top or bottom (or almost drowned).

Bingin

Bingin is a consistent, mechanical barrel machine. It's a short wave with a very small take off spot so if hassling is not your thing, it will be quite hard to get waves here. Impossibles

Impossibles gets fun on a big swell. Its located between Bingin and Padang Padang, if you are sick of dealing with the crowds at either of those two places you can paddle to Impossibles and get some long walls.

Padang Padang

Padang Padang only starts to work when a big swell is running. It offers an amazing barrel but breaks in front of trocks, so experts only! It is an easy paddle out through the channel and one of the world-class waves in Bali.

Uluwatu

There are 4 different sections at famous Uluwatu: Temples is a hollow wave which works on the mid to high tide. The peak can offer a nice barrel and is right in line with the cave. Racetracks is the low tide section, it's superfast and gets seriously shallow. Outside Corner is an world class wave which won't even start breaking unless the swell is at least in the 8 foot range.

Nyang Nyang

Nyang Nyang beach is a 'secret' spot, it's not very easily accessible which it's why it's usually uncrowded. This beach is like a secret paradise for every surfer.

Green Ball

Green Ball is a left and a right, situated at the bottom of a steep cliff. No worries going down but after you have been surfing for a couple of hours the return trip is quiet challenging.

Nusa Dua

To get to this reef you have to drive into the hotel area itself and then weave your way south. There's no channel which makes getting caught inside on a big swell quite annoying. There are a couple of other good waves in this area so it pays to do a bit of exploring.

Sri Lanka

In the northern part of Nusa Dua lays Sri Lanka, a bowly right which breaks into a deep water channel. This break is better on a bigger swell but is shifty.

Sanur Reef

Sanur Reef is a right and considered another world class wave. It's the local break of many expats and locals so gets very busy. The wave breaks better on a mid to high tide and is usually better in the early morning or in the rainy season (November-April).

Padang Galak

Padang Galak is a reliable rivermouth beach break north of Sanur. The break is quite popular, but only works under certain conditions.

Keramas

Another well known wave, which received a lot of media attention the last few years. It has a nice barrel after take-off which turns into a wally lip. This break is very popular with visiting and local pro's and if you don't want to deal with them in the water it is nice to watch them surf from the warung right in front of the break.

Padangbai

Padangbai has the flat bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some wally waves. This break needs a bit of swell.

Kuta Beach

The warm water and sandy bottom make Kuta beach one of the best places in the world to learn to surf. Also for advanced surfers this beach is very popular, you can often see the locals busting airs on the punchy lefts and rights.

KutaKuta is dedicated to those seeking fun and sun in affordable ways. The area consists of busy laneways lined with bars and restaurants, basic accommodations and various stalls selling multitudes of items. Although often considered the ‘absolute ugliest’ area of the island due to its mix-bag tourism projects in combination with rampant commercialism, Kuta still manages to retain a slice of Balinese charm. The smell of incense wafts down the crowded gangs and offerings of brightly colored flower petals are laid out each morning to appease the gods.

SeminyakOwing to its high density of upscale shopping, combined with the clustering of many fine-dining establishments, Seminyak has rapidly become one of the most well-known tourist areas in Bali. In addition to a few commercial strips with popular and lively restaurants, bars and good crafts, furniture, and antique shops, there are a few notable establishments that have earned numerous titles as the best venue or party spot in Bali in various magazines. Land and accommodation prices are amongst the highest in Bali and plenty of luxury spas and hotels abound.

Petitenget & CangguPetitenget is where the chic ambiance of Seminyak continues. Although recently there have not been as many happening scenes as in Seminyak, emergence of a number of new stylish venues in Petitenget should indicate that this area would serve as the extension of Bali’s southern fashionable playground. Canggu, on the other hand, is where the ricefields are still widely spread and clearly seen, even due to its close proximity with Seminyak and Petitenget. A number of luxurious villas can be found within Canggu area – most of them are blessed with the tranquil view of the ricefields.

SanurOne of the most pleasant aspects of Sanur is its large expanse of beachfront. A footpath that covers about five kilometers allows visitors to casually stroll and explore, stopping when they feel like it for a drink or snack at one of the many beach side restaurants. A large reef shelters Sanur’s white-sand beach, resulting in low-key surf that is ideal for beginner surfers and families with small children. However, swimming is only possible at high tide as low tide exposes the reef. Well-stocked bars and decently priced food and drinks have turned this area into a popular nighttime destination as well.

JimbaranAlthough Jimbaran now houses some of the finest luxury hotels in the world, its original color as a fishing village still remains. Unlike many other coastal areas in Bali that have wholly converted from fishing villages into tourist spots crowded with umbrellas, hawkers and surfboards, Jimbaran exploits its natural potential as a fishing village with the establishment of row upon row of seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch of fresh fish and crustaceans. Jimbaran is now known to be a haven of the finest seafood (both raw and processed) in Bali.

Nusa DuaSome of the most luxurious hotels in the world find their home in Nusa Dua. Yet, unknown to even some of its loyal visitors, Nusa Dua actually offers more than just ranks of five-star hotels and up-market restaurants and shops. For instance, the thousands who stay in the luxurious hotels within the Nusa Dua complex and Tanjung Benoa are largely unaware of a beautiful white-sand beach located just five minutes away on the southern edge of the peninsula, named Geger beach. Immediately north of Nusa Dua enclave is the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa that includes less exclusive hotels and Benoa village. As a mixed culture area, visitors can see a mosque and Chinese and Hindu temples in close proximity.

As the home of Bali’s legendary artists, Ubud is all about culture, inspiration, meditation, nature and comfort. The area’s scenic rice fields, villages, art and craft communities, palaces and rivers are probably some of the top reasons that bring people to Bali. For more than a century, Ubud has been the island’s preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. Accommodations range from the cheap ones sited in the town’s center to the jet set retreats that sit high up on the edge of green valleys.

There are plenty of interesting things on the main streets, but most of the magic of Ubud is hidden away on the backstreets, backwaters and courtyards.

worshippers. Unlike most beaches in Bali, there are no hawkers in Nusa Lembongan, with the sole exception of the boat guys who wander along the beach in the morning and ask you if you would like to join the snorkeling or fishing trips.

Getting to or from Nusa Lembongan is easy due to the numerous options. From Sanur, visitors are provided with several fast boat services as well as the traditional jukung boats (wooden boats). Alternatively, travelers can depart from Benoa Harbour, any of the Gili islands, or even charter their own helicopter.

Lombok’s three sister islands of Gili Terawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air are currently amongst the top alternative destinations for tourists visiting Bali. The three are tiny coral-fringed islands blessed with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water swarming with an array of coral fish. Known as budget stopovers in the old days, the Gilis with their rapidly increasing popularity now have diversified accommodations ranging from luxury villas to rustic yet chic bungalows for rent. Oceanfront restaurants and bars are also scattered around. Water activities, of course, are some of the highlights on the must-do list during a stay in these islands.

Each Gili has its own character and charm; Terawangan is known as the party scene, Meno is very mellow (perfect for honeymooners) and Air’s ambiance falls somewhere

between the two. The three islands, very fortunately, are pleasantly free from air pollution due to the absence of motorized land vehicles. Transportation means vary from the traditional cidomo (horse-drawn carts), horses and bicycles.

However, it’s important for you to note that the Gilis are homes to Muslim locals. Although bikinis are tolerable, it is advised for you to avoid any excessive skin displays – including public affection displays. You also need to tolerate the loud call for early Morning Prayer at around four or five in the morning. Restaurants and bars will run as normal during the fasting month of Ramadan.

The Gili islands are easily accessible direct from Bali with the current fast boat services available. Ferry services from Padangbai to Lombok run 24 hours a day. Morning flights from Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport to Lombok’s Selaparang Airport are also available daily.
