Things to do in Bali, Indonesia: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on a stretch of fine white sand, or commune with the tropical creatures as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreck of a WWII war ship. On shore, the lush jungle shelters stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The “artistic capital” of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body in a yoga class.

Very nice view of the ocean and the surrounding cliffs without the rush and hassle of the nearby temple. Good spot for taking up your drone or spending romantic sunset evening with your partner.

The former royal palace of Tirtagangga (which means water of the Ganges, Hinduism's holy river) features tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into bathing pools. Just outside the palace grounds, the views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali are stunning.

One of our day trips to this beautiful place, lovely gardens to walk around with family or as a couple, A lot of history in the place and you would need a good couple of hours to go round the gardens, there is a restaurant on the premises and not badly priced and good food, take a bottle of cold water with you as it does get hot walking around, Would I go back? YES and I would recommend it

Nominated for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Jatiluwih offers a beautiful view of contoured rice terraces irrigated using an impressive communal water system developed by Balinese farmers. The scenic drive through the quaint villages and verdant slopes of the central coastal regency of Tabanan adds to the experience.

The Jatiluwih rice terraces in the namesake upland village in West Bali are most famous for their dramatic and exotic landscapes. The cool highlands and the breathtaking scenery of this village at the foot of Mount Batukaru makes for wonderful photo opportunities, and serves as a soothing retreat away from the island’s crowded south. Once a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site candidate, the Jatiluwih rice terraces comprise over 600 hectares of rice fields that follow the flowing topography of the Batukaru mountain range. These are maintained by a traditional water management cooperative known as ‘subak’, which dates back to the 9th century. The cooperative itself eventually won recognition as a dominant factor in Bali’s ‘cultural landscape’ entry on the heritage list.

We visited here one afternoon and we loved this place. It was very quiet with a few bus tours. The village was clean and very unique. We walked through a number of the yards in the village and we found the locals were very hospitable and friendly. We chatted with a few of them. Each home usually sells something which is one of the ways they support the village. We bought some snacks from one and souvenirs from another. We chatted with one villager doing bonsai in his yard. We love how unique, quaint and clean this village is. The even have some "home stay" units where you can stay for the night in the village. I heard they were about ~ IDR 375,000. Depending on your tastes, staying for a night might could be an option to experience the village first hand. Will highly recommend for a visit.

This is the shrine to worship the god of death Ciwa or Durga so that when someone dies, his/her soul will depart for the heaven, not meandering on the earth.

This temple is located at a village about 11 km east of Singaraja town. My guide tells me that this village was famous for its struggle of independence against the Dutch colonialism . It took us about 25 mints to reach the place. Just like other temples in this region, there were hardly any visitors around, so we had the temple for ourself. The entrance fee was IDR 15,000 excluding the tips for the caretaker. This caretaker who has been mentioned previously in TripAdvisor, approached us and insist on showing us around. He claimed that his anchestors were involved in the war with Dutch. He was very polite and possessed detailed knowledge of the temple. Along the way he explain the history of the temple, the struggle with the Dutch and the meaning of the sculptures. We spent about 1 hour here to see around the place and get pictures of the place. It is a must visit if you are in the vicinity of Lovina or Singaraja. As usual bring along a bottle of water, sun block and a hat. Camera is a must.

We kept admiring the view from the hotel we stayed at and managed to find a way down some cobbled steps to follow this trail, its so peaceful and picturesque and you can actually walk into the centre from here, lots of opportunities to take some beautiful photos and meet the locals, always a plus when you can stop and listen to their stories. A lovely stream to follow although the paths can be very narrow at times lots of ducks and other species around, just a lovely leisurely stroll with the camera and if you forget your water there is always Nayoman the coconut man and his wife to stop and have a drink and a chat wonderful man......Wonderful couple..... thoroughly enjoyed our stroll

For us it was wonderful. It helped that it was not overcrowded and we read a bit about it beforehand. I closed my eyes and went inwards especially for the purification rituals and it was a truly spiritual experience. Understand that crowds and queues are frustrating so if it means something to you plan in advance and arrive as early as possible

Located very close to the shore, this its a fantastic dive site for divers of any ability. The site has amazing history. There are plenty of places nearby to hire gear if you need to. You do need to pay a small fee for parking but it is well worth it.
