BALI SIGHTSEING TOUR'S
with Bali Holidays Wedding

VOLCANOES & HANDICRAFTS WITH CULTURAL SHOW

Dances are the major part of Balinese culture and the Barong and Kris dance which is performed every morning at Batubulan Village, is one of the best known and loved. The story is about the eternal fight between good and evil: the evil Rangda (a mythological monster) battling with the good Barong (a mythological lion). After the show, continue to Bedulu to see the elephant cave and the real highlight of the day "Kintamani", perched dramatically on top of the crater rim of Mount Batur Volcano, where you will have breathtaking views of the crater, lake, lava flows, and volcanic peaks. Enroute pass through many of Bali's famous handicraft villages such as Mas for woodcarving, beautiful Ubud for paintings, Celuk for intricate gold and silverware, or perhaps a batik factory for some lovely locally made fabric. Your return journey will take you off the beaten track past beautiful countryside, temples and terraced rice field. Highly recommended.

BESAKIH MOTHER TEMPLE TOUR

Besakih is Bali's major temple build up on the slopes of the highest mountain of Mount Agung. It is most enjoyable during one of the frequent festivals, when hundreds of Hindu Balinese come to pry at this temple, gorgeously adorned with beautifully arranged offering. En route drive down the scenic east coast, with visits to Goa Lawah (Bat cave) and the old Court of Justice at Klungkung.

THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF BALI

Your guide books will tell you that you can only begin to experience some of the real magic and beauty of Bali by travelling right into the heart of the island and seeing our lovely countryside. One your journey to the mountain resort of Bedugul, you will be amazed at the lush terraced rice field as you pass many coffee and clove plantations.
A stop is made at the exotic fruit and flower market in Candikuning and Ulundanu temple on the shores of Beratan Lake, and stop for fewing another two lakes from the crater rim. The real Bali..........! don't miss it!

MONKEY FOREST and TANAH LOT CULTURAL TEMPLE TOUR

Your tour will take you west to the serene Royal Temple at Mengwi with its impressive architecture, moat and the monkey forest at Kedaton where giant 'bats' nestle in the tree tops. Your day culminates at the famous holy temple of Tanah Lot, perched dramatically on top of a large black lava rock some 200-m offshore. Sea snakes at the temple's base are believed to be the guardians of the temple from evil spirits and intruders!

The Captivating Kecak, Trance and Fire dance are performed at sunset in the small village of Batubulan. The Kecak dance (or Monkey dance) tells a story from the Ramayana epicc (an epic folk tale that is very common in the Indian sub-continent and South East Asia), but without the usual gambelan orchestral accompaniment. Instead there is a 100 strong male 'choir' who chant, shout, sway and move about - it's very eerie and mesmerising. The next dance has the same kecak choir accompanying two beautiful small girls in a trance. The last performance is the fire dance, where an entranced man on a wooden 'horse' runs through hot ashes from burning coconut husks with bare feet, also accompanied by the kecak choir. Very spectaculer.....!
