Bali Classic - 4D/3N
Bali, an island almost unreal in today’s changing world, has a vibrant culture, unique arts and ceremonies, friendly people and scenic beauty. Bali’s culutre is based on its unique form of Hinduism called “Hindu Darma”, but religion is not the only source of traditional customs in family and community life. Bali is one of the smallest, yet extraordinary, islands composing Indonesia, only a narrow strait separating it from Java. The scenery is dominated by a cluster of tall volcanoes, their craters studded with lakes surrounded by luscious forests. The green slopes of the volcanoes, created by ravines, drop to the ocean with little lowlands. Being near the equator, Bali has an eternal summer with warm weather, high humidity, and regular winds that constantly mitigate the heat. There are two seasons: dry in the summer months and monsoon season starting in November.
