Bali News , Airline tickets vary in prices and conditions and more than one airline can bring you to Bali. The big difference between the airlines are in the route they take and from whom you will purchase the ticket from. Since routes are changing quite often, it makes sense to ask an agent about your particular flight, chances are they know or can find out. Experiences tell it's still 50% uncertainty left after they advice you, because schedules change faster than the normal travel agent can keep up with. Many times the cheapest tickets involve the most stop overs en route, so it actually makes sense to pay a bit more to have a shorter flight. My personal experiences only cover exit airports in Europe like Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London. Here there are at times huge differences among the airlines. Thai Airways had always those lengthy 4 hour transits in Bangkok that made the flight to Bali about 18 hours long, Garuda stopped a lot at different airports to make sure the plane wa

Bali News , The basic idea is to combine the conveniences of a five-star resort with the cultural richness of a Balinese private home. Over the years this type of accommodation has increased vastly in popularity with travelers looking for something special and exclusive. The difference between large hotel chains and Boutique hotels is that they don't provide 100's of rooms but instead secluded luxury in small and intimate resorts. A "home away from home" is a bit a stressed expression, but it describes quite accurately what you may find. A really private space in a total different location, thousands of miles away from home. All amenities are usually provided in these resorts to make you feel comfortable. Individual service with a personal touch makes all the difference, and a villa with an selection of things you don't want to miss like sound system and satellite TV, several cozy in- and outdoor areas for relaxation, and refreshingly different styled bathrooms su

Bali News : Jimbaran beach is stretching between the barren limestone hill to the south and Kedonganan beach near the international airport on the north. This white beach is so tranquil and just the right place for relaxing in the afternoon while waiting for the sunset. It has been more known after the presence of five-star and luxury hotels since the beginning of the 1990s. Suddenly it was on everyone's lips. The new arising tourist resorts at Jimbaran now have more option to dine out. Along the Jimbaran to Kedonganan Beach there are many cafes operated by local people. It is something like night markets where visitors can choose a wide range of seafoods. Nearly all cafes provide special seafood menus with local recipes or combination with the western one. Fish is supplied by a nearby fishermen village at Kedonganan. Some vendors there still sell their fish until to the afternoon. When the west horizon turns yellowish red, the cafes spread their colorful chairs on the sand overl

Bali News ,Having discussed the existence of seven mandalas (stairs) of Penataran Agung Temple at Besakih (read Volume VII, numbers 3-19) it’s the turn to deal with the existence of 20 temple complexes that sit on the slopes of Mount Agung. The 20 temples are also known as the complexs of Besakih Temple. Other than this complex, there is a number of padharman temples, however, they are not categorized into the complex of Besakih Temple. Among the 20 temples on the slopes of Mount Agung, first things first that will be discussed is the Pesimpangan Temple located some 2 km to the west—some may consider it to be in the south—of Penataran Agung Temple at Besakih. Difference views of direction seems to be merely caused by ‘the feeling’ so it does not accord to that based on the compass. Complex of Pesimpangan Temple is very cramped. Its building is really unembellished consisting of principal pelinggih (holy shrine) called Gedong Limas Catu, Pepelik (a pavilion to place oblations as a part

Bali travel News One of the nicknames given to the Island of Bali is the Island of Thousand Temples. This nickname is indeed true, as this island is confined by thousands of temples occurring at the fringe of the beach and hundreds of others at the mountain ranges. In the meantime, a single village in Bali is not entitled to hold the name of customary village if it does not have at least three temples or puras encompassing the Pura Desa, Pura Puseh and Pura Dalem. These three temples are the essential requirement of the establishment of a Customary Village in Bali. Apart from the three temples as mentioned above, there are some other temples having non-identical function. For instance, the Melanting Temple, as a sanctum to worship the Goddess Melanting, is mostly used by traders. So is the Subak Temple worshipped by local farmers because this temple represents the venerating symbol of the Goddess Sri ruling the fertility and prosperity. It is not unusual, that when farmers are engulf
