Seasons
of Bali: Bali is extraordinarily blessed by Nature.
Lying within a narrow band of the tropics where wet
and dry seasons fall roughly into balance - providing
both adequate rainfall and long periods of sunshine
- the island's soils, topography and water resources
are all remarkably well suited to human habitation.
As a result, Bali has been civilized since very early
times.
Cruise
The Spice Islands: Step on a modern cruise liner
or charter a private yacht from Bali to see fierce dragons
from the Jurassic age in Komodo, and to visit ancient
tribes and cultures in the Lesser Sunda Islands.
Melasti:
Villagers carry umbrellas, offerings or flowers, and
fruit and sacred statues. The statues are affectionately
washed with water, and pigs would be sacrificed by holy
men as offerings to their gods. This festival must be
carried out amid the din of gamelan and drums and lots
of merry shouting. All must then fall silent the following
day on Nyepi.

of the Universe, when Hindu Followers pray for strong
mental defense in welcoming Galungan Holiday, held at
every compound and temple throughout Bali.
