Bangli holidays

Offering a peaceful escape from the tourist crowds, Bangli - a small regency southwest of the island of Bali - welcomes you with open arms to its gorgeously green streets and traditional villages that ooze age-old charm. During your stay here, don't miss a visit to the ancient Hindu Kehen Temple (one of the most sacred in the area). Perched atop a stony staircase and laid out across a succession of terraces, it is a true sight to behold. Ogle at its sculptures of animals, dragons, hieratic characters and giant Banyan tree that’s said to be over 700 years old. For those up for a challenge on a Bangli holiday, trek up Mount Batur – one of Bali’s active volcanos – for sunrise. Set off under the cover of darkness with a guide and after a serious two-hour trek you’ll be rewarded with the burnt orange sepia glow of the sun as it rises above the horizon over the surrounding valley. Relax and explore the area afterwards, taking in the outstanding landscape, taking a dip in its hot springs and lolling beside pools. Bangli holidays promise to be everything you dreamt of and more.
