There is a certain magic in Bali. The longer one stays, the more he/she is enchanted by the glimpses of beauty of the island and by the charming warm people.

Bali is truly exceptional. Bali presents a modern paradox, an ancient, traditional society that is still incredibly alive and vital. Bali is so picturesque that you could be fooled into thinking it was a painted backdrop; rice paddies trip down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soar through the clouds, the forest are lush and tropical and beaches are lapped by warm water of Indian ocean.

Since in ancient times, Bali is able to draw expatriate artist, writer and escapists from all over the world. Indonesian government has taken important steps to update security for tourist and tourism sectors.

Despite the terrorist bombings, Bali remains an appealing destination, perhaps even more so because the tragic events have reduced the number of tourists. It seems that no area of the world is immune from terrorist activity, and there is no real reason to think that Bali is less safe than Madrid, New York, or London. Having said that, beware of pick-pockets, money exchange scams and all of the usual annoyances.

Bali, the island of the gods, is blessed by gods, decorated with beautiful countryside, rice terraces, exotic beaches, holy temples, fascinating cultures and much more. Bali island consists of province, regency, village and Banjar(sub-village).

It is important to know that peaceful Balinese welcome visitor warmly with great hospitability so, a visit to Bali is still replete with kingly comforts immersed in an ancient culture on the beautiful island paradise.

Bali is the only island in Indonesia, which enjoyed less uninterrupted culture continuity. Bali was isolated, left to go on her way although Dutch troop arrived in Sanur beach on 1900 and occupied it. As a result, Bali is the only area of Indonesia that remains 'Hindu' with fusion of indigenous and Indian cultures which took place over a thousands year ago.

It has been found that Bali has been inhabited since early prehistoric times. Bronze age began in Bali before 300 B.C. Hinduism spread its influence around 400 A.D. followed by Buddhism in 500 A.D. After Japanese occupation in Second World War from 1939 to 1945; Bali became an Indonesian province but was able to maintain its own unique culture.

Bali is amazingly blessed by nature . Lying within a narrow band of the tropics, where wet and dry season fall roughly into balance providing both adequate rainfall and long period of sunshine.

April to October is the cooler dry reason and is the best time to visit Bali. Rest of the year is more humid, cloudier and has more rain storm but you can still enjoy hot day.

July, August and early September is the busiest month as many tourist visit in these months.

Accommodation and prices might be higher in these seasons.

Many Indonesian also visit Bali around Christmas. Outside these times, Bali has few tourists.
