about bali
Bali is a tropical Island so it has plenty of sunshine but also has sea breezes most of the year which give it a very pleasant climate. It has a population of 3 million who live in villages as well as the main town centres. The island is well serviced by roads. Bali has it's own unique culture. Unlike the surrounding islands Bali is Hindu and life for the Balinese is a continuous round of ceremonies and rituals. Everywhere there are temples and everyday life includes brightly coloured beautiful costumes, processions, dance displays and traditional Gamelan orchestras. There are endless adventure opportunities from the famous surfing beaches and diving sites to trekking, horse and elephant riding and whitewater rafting. From the bustling streets of the main centres to the beautiful villages there are numerous things to keep you occupied. If you want to do nothing, there isn't better place to switch off to the stress of modern life. Bali is midway between Singapore and Northern Australia in the chain of Islands that make up the Indonesian Archipelago formerly known as the East Indies. Close to Singapore many major airlines fly to and from Bali. Budget airlines are also starting to provide services notably Air Paradise flying to and from Australia.
