Bali is an incredible country to visit. Known as the island of a million temples, it is home to almost 4,500,000 people, over 90% of whom are Indonesian Hindus.
The province is renowned for its traditional dances and places of worship, as well as its rice terraces, volcanoes, Luwak coffee plantations, monkey forests, health spas and local cuisine.
We stayed for 7 nights in a family compound in the town of Ubud and used our time there to try to gain a cultural insight into this fascinating place.
Whether it was witnessing the Kecak song and dance performance enacted by 35 bare-chested men at sunset on Uluwater cliffs, getting pampered by Ayu with a jasmine and coconut body scrub at Jaens Spa, cooking Nasi Sela with Sang and his family at Lobong Culinary Experience or participating in the cleansing ceremony with Dewa at the Holy Spring Temple at Tirtha Empul, it was a truly unforgettable experience.
