Get a Taster of Balinese Tradition at a Cultural Evening
With its wild, wonderful and otherworldly traditions, Balinese culture might seem a little daunting to a first-timer. So to ease you into this magical world, get a taster of Balinese culture at a Cultural Evening, where music, art, food and dance collide. Our fave is at Hotel Tugu – one of Bali’s first and only wholly Indonesian luxury hotels that’s dedicated to showcasing local culture. The Cultural Evening takes place every Thursday night, featuring an awesome dance performance and Balinese dinner to revive and preserve almost-forgotten stories from the past, interpreted through traditional dances, music and costumes. Right in front of your dining table, mesmerising dancers and performers take to the stage whilst an enormous boat-like platter of traditional recipes are served, featuring all of our favourite Balinese staples like ayam betutu, lawar and plenty of spicy sambal – yum! It’s a fun and totally delicious evening presenting genuine Balinese culture at its best, wrapped up in an authentic Balinese atmosphere – perfect!
Visit a Sacred Temple
Bali is home to an endless array of ancient temples, with several of them being the island’s most iconic landmarks thanks to their magnificent centuries-old architecture set against exotic backdrops. Though you’ll find temples all over Bali and on every street corner, there are a few stand-out and must-visit temples that’ll really give you a taste of the island’s fascinating religious beliefs and dedication to the Hindu Gods.
One of the most visited has to be Tanah Lot Temple, thanks to its offshore location that sees jaw-dropping sunsets every evening. The best time to visit is during the holy day of Kuningan, when pilgrimages usually take place, and on the temple’s anniversary four days after Kuningan when thousands of Balinese flock to the site to pray and lay their offerings.
Another stunning temple is Pura Luhur Uluwatu, set on top of the Uluwatu cliffs with the surfing beaches below. Cultural performances such as the Ramayana ballet or Kecak dance take place here, in a specially designated amphitheater during the golden sunset hours for a totally awesome vista.
For a temple visit that’s a little off the tourist track, there is the Besakih Temple, often referred to as Bali’s ‘mother temple’, located in the village of Besakih. Here, a huge complex of temples and shrines await, with Besakih Temple sitting 1,000 metres above sea level on the south-western slopes of Mount Agung, Bali’s active volcano.
Last but certainly not least, Ulun Danu Temple in the hills of Bedugul is one of the most photographed, thanks to it’s magical location in the middle of Lake Bratan. When the early morning or late afternoon mountain fog creeps through, the temple actually looks as if it is floating – it’s pure magic!
Try a Balinese Cooking Class
Food is a big part of the Balinese lifestyle, so luckily for us sambal-aholics, the local communities are more than happy to welcome visitors into their homes to get a taste of authentic village cooking. There are now countless culinary adventures on the island that help to unlock the secrets to Bali’s totally addictive flavours, guiding you through local markets to find traditional herbs, spices and farm-fresh ingredients, before demonstrating the lengthy preparation and cooking methods that sometimes take days to complete. Get ready to get your hands dirty, because if you want to try the ever-succulent Ayam Betutu staple, you’ll soon find yourself rubbing and massaging a whole plucked chicken in basa gede [Bali’s signature base paste] before wrapping it in palm leaves and cooking it over coconut husks for hours until smokey and tender! With plenty of time to wait before you get to sample your delicious Balinese creation, the cooking classes often offer the chance to chat to the locals, make simple offerings, speak to the rice farmers and learn about authentic coconut-oil processing – until it’s time to dig in!
Scale the Island’s Iconic Landscapes
Few places on earth are as diverse as Bali. Where else in the world can you climb a volcano at sunrise, scuba dive by lunchtime, gaze at emerald green rice paddies in the afternoon and dine beachfront by sunset? So to make the most of the island’s iconic landscapes, sign up to a tour or find yourself a guide to explore Bali’s most sacred spots. You’ll want to scale one of Bali’s majestic active volcanos, like Mount Batur for a sunrise vista above the clouds, or for avid hikers, take on Mount Agung – the most sacred of Bali’s peaks – for a 6-7 hour trek.
You can’t visit Bali without seeing the infamous lush green rice paddies either, and the Tegallalang rice paddies in Ubud are by far the most splendid! Stop at the top of the valley on the road for a panoramic emerald vista for miles. A farmer who owns the land is usually there to invite you to sample his green coconut drink, and you can buy Balinese woven hats that he hand-makes from coconut leaves. This ancient valley is a wonderful insight into the traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system [named subak].
Watch a Traditional Dance
For the Balinese people, dance is more than just an ancient tradition, but an integral part of religious and artistic expression that brings together the community. There are many different types of Balinese dances, and most involve the Balinese version of the Hindu Ramayana epic. If you are heading to the Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple, you’ll get to check out the Kecak Dance in the amphitheater, where one hundred men [wearing only a loin-cloth each] form rows of circles around a coconut oil lamp in the centre. First, they move their bodies rhythmically to the left and to the right, chanting the words cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak continuously, in slow rhythm. Gradually the rhythm speeds up and in turn, they each lift their hands, trembling, into the air. You won’t forget this experience in a hurry – it’s quite a spectacle!
For a less dramatic but equally breathtaking performance, take a trip to Ubud for the traditional dances at the Ubud Palace [from 7:30 – 9pm every night]. Here, beautiful Balinese girls in ceremonial attire dance hypnotically, contorting their eyes and fingers to tell age-old chronicles through movement. These dances can be seen all over Bali, but are mostly found in and around Ubud where they are put on regularly for travellers.
Fancy getting involved yourself? Head to Denpasar where several cultural centres and dance schools will teach you the tricks of the trade.
Shop ’til You Drop at a Traditional Market
There are tonnes of markets all over Bali selling all sorts of goodies and traditional tidbits – and each one is worth a visit to get an insight into local Balinese life, as well as grabbing yourself a bargain! From late night snacks to traditional homewares, religious ritual items and art pieces – there’s a market for everything. Try the Badung Market in Denpasar for the real deal – Bali’s biggest market that is like an enormous Garage Sale of island goods, from sarongs and sunglasses that’ll later be trebled in price and sold on Kuta Beach, to fruit and vegetables, art pieces and kitchenware – this market hums almost 24/7.
For something a little less chaotic, try the Kuta Night Market for hot-off-the-wok street food, the Ubud Traditional Art Market for artisan paintings and sculptures, the Jimbaran Fish Market for fresh from the ocean delicacies, the Flea Market in Seminyak for gifts and that all-important Bintang singlet, or the Frog Market in Tabanan for vintage clothing and piles of homewares that you’ll need to dig through to find a treasure – there’s plenty of them!
Discover the Power of Balinese Healing
‘Eat, Pray, Love’ turned the spotlight on Balinese traditional healing, but these practices, blending natural herbs and spices, holistic therapies and ancient wisdom to cure physical and mental illnesses, have been a long tradition in Bali. The Balinese live equally in two worlds: the seen or conscious world called sekala, and the unseen or psychic world, called niskala. If someone falls ill, both of these worlds must be addressed in order to heal them. A Balian [traditional Balinese healer who works with divine energy] will be consulted, and they will use jamu [herbal medicines derived from the lush Bali landscape], massage and energy healing to help cure the sick. If you are wanting to visit a traditional Balinese Healer, check out our roundup of Bali’s best healers, and say goodbye to depression, stress, and physical pains.
Stick Around for a Ceremony
Bali’s ceremonies are vital to the Balinese for maintaining peace on the island, so understandably, these celebrations and rituals are take very seriously. Whether it’s a wedding, cremation, teeth-cutting ceremony, or the most prominent celebration, Nyepi, entire Balinese communities will put their year’s savings into following tradition and spending big bucks on extravagant temples, offerings and processions. Perhaps the most costly is Nyepi, also known as Bali’s Day of Silence and the New Year according to the Balinese calendar. On Nyepi Day, everyone on the island must stay indoors in silence with no electricity or lights, yet the night before is arguably the wildest of all the Balinese ceremonies, where large, oversized demon structures [called Ogoh Ogoh] are paraded through the streets to keep evil spirits away for the year ahead. Communities spend a fortuen on these structures and celebrations, and there’s even competitions in Denpasar the week before Nyepi to judge the best Ogoh Ogoh creation. Like all of Bali’s unique ceremonies, it’s a sight to see that you won’t want to miss.

You Have to Know About ”Devil’S Tear” in Lembongan, Bali Island
About Nusa Lembongan
Who doesn’t know Bali? The island with a million beauty has been known to the international level. Well, if you want to find another place around Bali, Nusa Lembongan is the answer. Nusa Lembongan is a small island located near Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. The island is located in the Badung Strait southeast of Bali Island and is approximately 11 km southeast of Bali. Uniquely, this island has a length of 4.6 km and a width of 1–1.5 km. The route to this island is sometimes still rocky and slippery, so you must be careful to get to this place. To get to Nusa Lembongan, just come to Sanur because there are many boats in Sanur to Nusa Lembongan. The island is small enough to explore on foot, offering pristine beaches and coves, majestic views of Mount Agung, unique Balinese architecture, and the friendliness of simple country folk. With a lack of arable land and a severe shortage of tourist attractions, the island’s economy is limited to its underwater wealth-seaweed. A secondary occupation is catering to visiting surfers. Between Nusa Lembongan and the adjacent of Nusa Ceningan Island, the population is only 60,000.There are just two villages on Nusa Lembongan, the large, spread out the administrative center of Lembongan Village, and Jungut Batu village. Surfers and backpackers hang out in the latter, about 150 per month, for an average stay of three to five days. The only other visitors are European, Japanese, and Australian day-trippers on excursion boats. Jungut Batu offers the island’s best accommodations and water sport opportunities. There’s motorcycle traffic between the two villages and it’s easy to get a lift. Both villages are heavily involved in the cultivation of seaweed. Before government-supported commercial seafood production in 1980, the people of the island lived on maize, cassava, tuber, beans, and peanuts. Today most everyone is involved in one way or another with the cultivation of “sea vegetables,” and the air is permeated with its smell.

This place is called the Devil’s Tears because the very large waves here can hit the reef so as to produce waves that lead to the air. The froth of the waves that lead to the air fell back down and crashed into the steep cliffs, so it was likened to tears.
Especially, this Devil’s Tear faces directly towards the Indian Ocean so this location is perfect for watching the sunset. Don’t imagine Devil’s Tears Nusa Lembongan as white sand beaches. The beauty of the Devil’s Tears does not lie in the stretch of white sand, but the pounding waves that hit the cliffs there. The coral cliffs that are directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean and the waves that break the cliffs are the main beauty of the Devil ‘s Tears Nusa Lembongan. Uniquely, the waves that hit the reef very hard can cause a burst of seawater into the air. Then the seawater foam falls on the rocks and like a falling spring and then flows back to the sea. That is why these coral cliffs are called Devil’s Tears which can be interpreted as the devil’s tears. A name that is quite scary, but not a scary thing you see, but an extraordinary beauty.

5 Most of Beautiful Temples in Bali
5 Most of the Beautiful Temples in Bali You Need to Know
Ancient Bali temples dot the highlands and coasts and feature magnificent centuries-old architecture. Several have become some of the island’s most iconic landmarks. Great for photos, they’re usually set against exotic backdrops. They’re most colorful during festive temple anniversaries. Such events occur twice a Gregorian year since dates are based on a local 210-day calendar. On any other day, these temples are great places to visit at least once during your visit. Each temple is unique. Try the Besakih ‘mother temple’ against the cloudy peaks of Mount Agung, for instance. Or, the mysterious ruins of Goa Gajah near Ubud. Uluwatu and Tanah Lot against golden sunsets can be truly magical. Remember to wear proper attire for your visit. A sarong and sash are provided ‘for rent’ at most temples in Bali.
1. TANAH LOT (TABANAN, WEST BALI)
Tanah Lot regularly features on Bali postcards and travel brochures, thanks to its stunning and unique offshore setting. It comprises an ancient Hindu shrine that sits on top of an outcrop amidst constantly crashing waves from the Indian Ocean. The sea temple is a constant highlight on tours to Bali’s western region – sunsets here are not to be missed. The temple is about 45 minutes’ drive north from Kuta. Nearby are smaller onshore village temples and visitors’ leisure facilities such as restaurants, shops and a cultural park where dance performances are shown. The best time to visit Tanah Lot is during the day of Kuningan and on the temple’s anniversary 5 days later when festive pilgrimages are among the common sights.
2. ULUWATU TEMPLE (PECATU, SOUTH BALI)
Uluwatu is one of Bali’s picture-postcard temples, whose cliff base is also known among surfers as an exotic surf spot. The temple sits on a clifftop in Bali’s southwest, about 70 meters above the crashing waves. ‘Pura Luhur Uluwatu’ as the locals call it, similarly shares the splendid sunset backdrops of the Tanah Lot sea temple in West Bali. Even so, Uluwatu’s more elevated perch provides broader and more breathtaking seascapes. Pathways throughout the site allow you to witness the ancient architecture and sculptures from up close. A dense forest inhabited by grey long-tailed macaques surrounds the temple. An open-air amphitheater nearby regularly shows the Ramayana ballet or Kecak dance during the golden sunset hours – perfect for memorable pictures.
3. BESAKIH TEMPLE (KARANGASEM, SOUTH BALI)
Besakih Temple is often referred to as Bali’s ‘mother temple’ – a grand complex of different clan temples and shrines on the south-western slopes of Mount Agung. At least 70 celebrations are held at Besakih yearly, as each shrine has its own anniversary. Exploring the whole site can take a day. Even so, most visits cover only the largest central complex, Pura Penataran Agung. Another temple, Pura Pasimpangan, lies east of Pura Penataran Agung. On the higher slopes is Pura Pengubengan, offering great vistas from 1,000 meters above sea level. Sarongs and sashes are compulsory attire when visiting the temple, available usually for a ‘donation fee’ at the main entrance. You can also buy some colorful souvenir textiles from the many kiosks that dot the parking area.
4. GOA GAJAH (UBUD, CENTRAL BALI)
Goa Gajah is an archaeological complex with historical significance that’s great for a brief stopover on tours to the Ubud and central Bali region. Even though its name translates to ‘Elephant Cave’, you won’t find any pachyderms here. The cave was built as a hermitage back in the 11th century. It’s quite shallow, containing stone idols and meditation spaces. In front of the mysterious cave, you’ll find a Wantilan or meeting hall and a temple courtyard. An open-air gallery of large stone relics lies near an ancient bathing pool that was excavated in 1954. You can enter the pool and see the statues of nymphs holding waterspout vases up close, or explore the legendary Petanu River and its stone artifacts behind the temple grounds.
5.ULUN DANU BERATAN TEMPLE (BEDUGUL, TABANAN)
Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a picturesque landmark temple in Bali’s central highlands. The temple sits on the western side of Beratan Lake. The smooth reflective surface of Beratan surrounds most of the temple’s base, creating a unique floating illusion. The mountain range provides the temple with its hazy, dreamy backdrop. The striking scenery and cool atmosphere of these uplands have made the temple a favorite sightseeing spot. The large flowering lakeside gardens offer an enjoyable time with many photographic moments. Recreational activities include short boat trips on the lake. You can also enjoy leisurely rides on 2-seater duck paddle boats as well as a host of other water sport activities.

Awesome Things To Do in Nusa Penida
What to When You in Nusa Penida
When visiting the island of Nusa Penida, there are several awesome things to do while exploring this beautiful island. Nusa Penida is a small beautiful island featured by many beautiful spots to visit. Most of them are blessed by the breathtaking view. Here are the things that you may do when visiting this island.
1. Pura Goa Giri Putri Cave
The Pura Goa Giri Putri Cave is perched midway up the mountain, accessible by a steep winding staircase. Before being allowed up the staircase we had to rent a sarong for 50 cents. We dodged a few rogue monkeys before arriving into the middle of prayer. With no idea what he had walked in on we were blessed with some water to the forehead before crawling through a tiny crack in the ground. Over 100 other people joined us down, crawling through the crack.

More prayer was underway but no-one seemed to mind us looking around. I would have loved to yell out and hear the echo in this massive underground temple. Instead, we wandered around, enjoyed the smell of the incense and the eerie atmosphere before crawling out again.
2. Atuh Beach
After the interesting cave experience, we headed to the coast. We drove through a collection of villages waving to the kids as we dodged chickens, dogs, and potholes on the road. The poor road soon turned to a dirt hill so we abandoned the bikes and crossed our fingers we were in the right spot when all of a sudden we spotted an amazing view through the branches. Atuh Beach is a stunning white sand beach surrounded by the huge cliffs and remarkable rock formations. An arch sits directly out from the shore while several islets string off in the distance. We explored the shore and the ocean before enjoying a fresh $2 coconut. Air Asia knew what they were doing when they provided these umbrellas to the resorts. I can’t imagine how many Instagram photos have inadvertently advertised the airline.
3. Peguyangan Waterfall
Peguyangan Waterfall is one of my favorite spots on Nusa Penida because it has a mix of everything. Up and down those steep blue stairs is a workout. Then you add in the spectacular coastal cliff views that are the trademark of the island. Finally mix that in with the tradition and culture of the sacred temple and the waterfall, which is a pilgrimage site and you have this awesome blend in one spot! The hike down takes about 20 minutes, leading you down to the pilgrimage site. The sacred temple is based on the water blessing. I spoke to one of the locals who was going through his ritual. There are three spouts. In order, they must shower underneath each and then use the fourth main spout to finish. This is how they cleanse themselves and receive blessings. I didn’t go under the three smaller spouts but the local guys who were dressed in just a sarong or underwear for the boy invited me to shower under the main spout. Shrines and trinkets are spread throughout the sacred site, which eventually leads you down to cascading pools. These pools have the purest of water, it looks like bottled water it’s so clear! The rock pools are tiered down until they eventually flow out into the ocean. It’s a really beautiful area and has so many different things going on. As we left there was a ceremony taking place with 20 locals sat on the ground being led through a prayer
4. Seganing Falls
If you don’t like heights skip this trek. The path is at times less than half a yard in width. On one side is the giant vertical rock wall and on your other side a tiny wooden fence protecting you from certain death if you were to fall. The fence looked like something you would see on an old farm. Nevertheless, we made the journey down with a self-appointed guide who insisted on joining us. He was incredibly funny despite not speaking any English. At each scenic point, he would throw his hands up and scream wow, motioning to us to take a photo of him. The trek was incredible, which made up for the waterfall. We were dripping with sweat, my friend Joel had cut up his leg and we were out of energy hoping to find an amazing waterfall running into the ocean. Once at the bottom we were surprised to find a cascade of trickles running down the rock face. It was an anti-climax after the crazy trek down. I would suggest this trek as it was truly one of my favorite things to do on Nusa Penida. However, don’t expect Niagara Falls at the bottom.
5. Kelingking ‘T-Rex’
The Instagram famous coastal cliffscape, which truly does look like a T-rex didn’t disappoint. I still remember the moment I laid eyes on the beach below. It felt like I was a human drone. I watched the crystal clear water slowly form into a wave before crashing below us, in what seemed like slow motion. We took a short trek down the spine of the T-Rex and took in the epic drop-offs down each side. This is definitely my favorite thing to do on Nusa Penida and is just one of those landscapes that make you feel small. It makes you feel lucky to be in its company, to be able to witness earth’s creation. Nusa Penida has so many amazing views making it hard to pick a favorite. But when the cliffs form in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex at Kelingking Secret Point Beach it is bound to be a crowd favorite. Kelingking actually translates into English meaning Pinkie a term referencing the smallest finger on the hand. Just like a pinkie promise, the land does also appear to take the form of a Kelingking or pinkie finger. However, it is the comparison to the T-Rex that has caused this location to become so popular.
6. Manta Bay
We hopped on a group snorkel tour from Lembongan with one thing on our minds. We were keen on swimming with giant Manta Rays as is a popular thing to do on Nusa Penida. After initially not being able to locate the Manta Rays our awesome captain found them. We were able to swim and snorkel with the playful Manta Rays for over half an hour. You can book a tour locally for about $20 USD if you are already on Penida or Lembongan or you can book online before you arrive.

They were majestic and intimidating. I would dive down as the Manta swam straight at me with its mouth wide open before darting away at the last moment. This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and it was only the start of the snorkel trip!
7. Crystal Bay Beach Nusa Penida
By now we were all so tired from swimming non-stop all morning that when we arrived at Crystal Bay we slumped on the sand and began an hour of recovery! Our captain then rounded us up and took us 100 yards out into the bay on the boat and we enjoyed the crystal clear water you would expect at Crystal Bay. Although we were more interested in flipping off the front of the boat.
8. Toyapakeh
Our final stop on our Nusa Penida journey was to Toyapakeh. This awesome snorkel spot has a strong current. Our captain dropped us off and we hardly had to swim as the current slowly drifted us down towards a small cove. We were drifting on the edge of a huge drop-off with fish and coral in abundance.
9. Angel’s Billabong
Angel’s Billabong is one of the magical spots you can’t help but marvel at. A crystal clear tide pool cascades into the ocean on the east coast of Nusa Penida. Out in that ocean, Manta Rays cruise the coast at leisure. As with all tidal pools you need to arrive at the right time of day. If you visit Angel’s Billabong during high-tide you will experience a very different pool than the one you see in photos. You will need to check the tide using a site like Magic Seaweed. Once you figure out when the low tide is, you should plan your itinerary around that. On the day we wanted to visit Angel’s Billabong the low tide was at 8 am so we arrived right at 8 am and it was perfect. The Billabong is a remarkable formation. The crystal clear water allows you to see the patterns and textures beneath the surface. In some areas, the water is deep enough for a little dip! It is a highly photographed spot on Nusa Penida because of how unique the landscape is. angel's billabong.
10. Broken Beach
Broken Beach is an incredible little cove on Nusa Penida island. The highlight of the cove and the reason it is called Broken Beach is due to the archway that wraps around the bay allowing water to flow in and out from the ocean.
All around the world, there are unique ways in which the earth has eroded over time. Sometimes mother nature leaves us with something quite remarkable. On Nusa Penida, one of those places that leave us in a state of awe at how over millions of years the earth has ended up as beautiful as it appears before us right now!
The arch at Broken Beach has been formed over many, many years and is now a true spectacle. From above the cove appears almost circular and closed in, however, at eye level the arch is quite high. Unfortunately, there is no way down into the cove for a refreshing dip although you can get in the water at Angel’s Billabong around the corner.
