But with Garuda Orient Holidays, we make sure you miss none of them.

Let’s begin with the most amazing things to do and best places to visit when you are in Bali. To make come back to bali again and again.

1. Barong Dance

This is approx. 1 hour long religious dance representing the eternal fight between the good – Barong and the evil symbolized by a horrible looking witch called Rangda. Get there early to grab the Front row and lure in the expressions of dancers…

2. Tanah Lot

One of the most famed temple in Bali. During high tide, the cliff is surrounded by water and the temple looks like it is floating. In the bottom part of the cliff there is a fresh water holy spring while on the beach cave there are some holy snakes that guard the temple. In the North and South part of the temple is absolutely beautiful view, ideal for watching sunset.

3. Celuk (Gold & silver smith), Mas (wood carving) and Stone carving villages

As you get into Celuk, all the gold and silver smith shops flank the roads. Drop by their factory to take a look at the production as well.

4. Mount Batur (Kintamani)

Second largest active volcano in Bali. 1,717 meters from sea level, and bears the remains of the black lava from it’s eruption in 1917 and 1927. There is a nice scenic crater lake there.
Admire the breath-taking view as you eat with buffet lunch at one of the restaurant. Will cost you about S$10.

5. Trita Empul

Tirta Empul means ” bubbling water ” and is a holy water temple built in 960 AD. Further inside the temple area, you can see the source of the water – a spring where water is bubbling up through the black sand.

6. Taman Ayun

Is the largest Royal Family Temple. The area of this temple is surrounded by moat with some water lilies and lotuses. The place is still used during prayer sessions and important ceremonial events

7. Goa Gajah

Means “elephant cave”. Found in 11th century, this cave was dug in the peaceful riverside valley in a hard sand stone. Among the many historical remains found around this cave is the holy Ganesh Statue (a human body with elephant head) which is believed as the God of Purification and Evil Controller.

8. Sebatu Holy Spring Temple

Is named ” Gunung Kawi ” in Balinese. A very beautiful village temple located in a peaceful valley with its holy spring or large fountains outside the temple area, where villagers use to take a bath.

9. Uluwatu Temple

Also built by the same Hindu Priest who built Tanah Lot, Uluwatu temple is also another magnificent temple built perched on a cliff. The whole temple stretches across a large area and it is surrounded by the fabulous India Ocean.

10. Lake Beratan & Pura Ulun Danu

A wonderful floating temple called “Ulun Danu Temple” and is truly spectacular. The weather at the lake is cool, which is a nice break from the mostly hot sun during my trip.

11. Jatiluweh

This place is supposed to one of the few in the world that has such nice terraced paddies. Those terraces are probably cut decades ago, and now resulting in the fascinating view today.
