Things to do in Bali
Bali Island has a lot to offer its tourists. With so many islands and beaches, Bali(the island of the Gods) provides memorable beach holidays to many people every year. If you want to pick a safe and fun holiday place for your family, try the island of the Gods. Everything that makes up a great vacation will be organized by your travel agent. You can find one on the internet. Although there are a lot of things to see and do in Bali, you should know what to expect before you travel. If your trip will be short, you will not have enough time to view and do everything. So, it will be nice to do the following three things.
1. Benoa mangrove excursions – There are mangrove forests close to Benoa Harbor. They are about twenty-one kilometers to the south of Denpasar. During this eco-tour, visitors walk on elevated timber boardwalks watching mangroves and birds. To learn more about mangroves, you can visit the Mangrove Information Center. It is dedicated to the study of mangroves and how they can be conserved. It owns about two hundred hectares of land with many nursery plots, exploration huts, wooden boardwalks and floating decks. Visits to Benoa Mangrove forests are done early in the morning or in the afternoon.
2. Bali Barat National Park – Occupying seventy-six thousand three hundred and twelve hectares of land in Jembrana and Buleleng districts, Bali Barat is a popular national park. It is a perfect landmark for visitors who love trekking and wildlife viewing. White birds with matching black wingtips and blue stripes around their eyes can be seen here. Additionally, the rare and endangered Javan buffalo (banteng) can be seen here. There are only about thirty to forty bantengs left in the forest. Here you will see wild animals like leopards, some monkey species, mouse deer and rusa among others. As arrangements are done by visitors themselves, including food, bedding, water, and a permit, you should use a travel company.
3. Traditional dramas and dances – Balinese have many celebrations that take place in temples. Every village organizes its festivals at different dates, and most of these are not meant for tourists. Your tour guide knows when cultural events organized only for tourists take place. The most popular dance that takes place in Batubulan village is the Barong dance. It demonstrates the tale about the fight between good and evil. A sunset dance that you do not want to miss is the Kecak dance. Usually staged in public by Pura Tanah Lot, Kecak dance setting is the story of Ramayana.…
