To dispel boredom, it is worth going to the local spa to the massage, go to the village of Kintamani to look at the coffee plantations to admire the battur volcano. Antonio Blanco Museum cannot be bypassed. He was founded by a Spanish artist settled on Bali.
These are the main resorts of Bali. Which one to choose is to solve you. You can generally live in different areas of the island. This is the best of all options. You can adhere to the following program, arriving at the paradise island.
Day 1
Seminyak
Those who are used to having fun at night outside the house is better to start with Seminyak. Exhaust there will be one hundred percent. After memorable fun, it is worth thinking about something more interesting, which will bring new knowledge and add impressions. We must go to the first excursion.
Island Java
A great solution is to fly to the island of Java. It is located outside the resort itself. The tour will be worth a lot (about 300 dollars). It is necessary to take into account first of all. But if the tools allow, then you need to visit. There are many temples on this wonderful island: Borobudur, will change, Pavon. They are distinguished by the unique architectural style and a special flavor. After studying all the most remarkable information and details about structures, legs, clearly, they will think. It will be necessary to make a breather, then again with new forces to go on bright emotions.
You can have a snack at the local restaurant where feed dishes are prepared. Lunch in it is included in the cost of the excursion. Only one must not forget that the food on the island is mostly represented very much. If someone loves to taste food with a light, then on Java it will work out. Those who do not particularly prefer sharp, better there is more rice and drink more water. After having lunch and taking strength, you need to go again. Where? To the Hindu Temple of Prambanan. This facility is amazing at one glance on it outside. What to say about interior decoration! Beauty in Prambanan indescribable.
It is difficult to write about it, it must be seen. It seems that the temple is the creation of non-manual. It is difficult to believe that such a wonderful architectural building could be designed by a person. One thing to come up with and think over all the details of the design, and completely different - to realize all this. After the admiration of the Prambanan, it is supposed to return to Bali. The day will come to an end, it will be necessary to go to bed without being stuck late. Otherwise, the next day it will be difficult to gather on a new excursion.
Day 2.
Taman Ayun
Excursion day can be started with Taman Ayun. This is one of the most beautiful temples of Bali. It is in the park, where the age-old trees grow and amazed with their magnificence pure ponds. Before entering the temple, you must go through the bridge. The path leads to the fountain built according to the symbolism. The number of jets (their 9) is equal to the number of Balinese gods. The jets are directed in different directions on the principle of location of the parties of the Light. Further, the path will lead to an earlier yard of the temple.
Lake Bratan
After Taman Ayun, you can go to the heart of the island, to Lake Branch. It is considered sacred. Locked the lake at once extinct volcano.
Locals enjoy water from it to cook for other purposes. Without it they would have to hard. Nature around the lake is unusually clean. Many tourists believe that this is the best lake on Bali. Here quiet and cool. You can observe the clubs incense, distributed by Balians during religious rites.
Temple Ulong Dan.
Here is the temple of Ulong Danu, who fascinates unusual structures, of which it consists. You can go to the botanical garden. Just do not think that there are full-tropical evergreen plants. The garden is rather reminded by an ordinary Park of the middle strip of Russia. Therefore, if there is no extra time and money, it is better to go to another place. On this, perhaps, day trips are worth interrupted.
Hike to Mount Agung
If you want something unusual and mega-questioned, then at night, it is necessary to make a campaign to Mount Agung. It is necessary to prepare himself in advance. The path is not easy. In the evening you need to dine and lie down a couple of hours, even better - take a break. As soon as the night approaches, you will have to be collected in the road.
The ability to make something unrealous arises in the head of each active tourist. So why not? Walking on the mountain peak, which is the highest point of Bali, can not everyone.
This is only desperately desperate brass. Upon returning home, you can boast the conquest of the mountain and your courage. Test is for the strong spirit of tourists, but it is worth it! Emotions overwhelm those who reaches the peaks. It is necessary to consider that in the mountains is always cool. The farther from the ground, the more colder and colder. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to grab a warm sweater.
The closer to the cherished vertex, the harder it is to climb. Forces getting smaller with each step. But at the end of the way such a fascinating landscape opens, it is impossible to describe in words. Freedom felt and a feeling of limitless happiness appears. On this climb, perhaps it is worth finish the second day of staying at Bali. After such a rich program, it is clear to return to the hotel where you can pamper yourself strong sleep.
Day 3.
Rafting on the Telaga River
Love rafting? Then in the morning you can get ready to descend on the Telaga Waja river. The cost of the alloy is about 70 dollars. Telaga is a mountain river with a "harsh character." You have to learn to bypass the thresholds and waterfalls. In short, only this adventure swimming can be passed into such an adventurous swimming. The river will provide explosive emotions, stormy memories with the smallest details from such a descent will not forget at least a week. Most rafting lovers are delighted with alloy by Telage.
In front of the descent, briefings are carried out and the necessary uniforms are issued: helmets and vests. Tourists offer two routes for rafting: the above mentioned river and the Ajung River, which is very "calm". It is difficult to call it and mountain. It is even rather not rafting, but just a walk along the river with the ability to consider local landscapes and make wonderful photographs.
Himself to make the photo is unlikely to succeed. Here you have to follow the river "surprises". On this kind, tourists excursions removes a professional photographer who floats with everyone. You will have to pay him for the disk with the photo. But it will be what to show native! Yes, and for my memory such photos are better to purchase.
Day 4.
In the morning it is worth going to the beach to soak in the rays of the Sun and swim in the warm sea. In the afternoon, if you wish, you need to go again for another excursion. Not wasted to spend time, lying on the chaise lounge! We must try something new, see something incredible. Then the journey will seem not just a trip to Bali, but an unusual adventure.
The day can be spent on the inspection of the aquatic palaces. Such facilities are few buildings. They are located not far from each other, in the principality of Karangase. Here everyone will sleep their gaze with stunning landscapes and find out what life was Bali Raji.
Taman Uzhung
In the elegant Palace Taman Dzhung used to be a residence of one of the raffle. The complex includes three pools with palaces designed for a full rest. Buildings are a combination of local and European architecture. They are cool even in the most sultry days due to the location on the surface of the water.
In the 20th century, the temple was partially destroyed as a result of the eruption of the volcano and from the earthquake. In 2004, Dzhung was renovated. Tourists are given the opportunity to walk on the residence, see the bedroom of Raji.
From the hill you can admire the magnificence seen here: rice terraces, volcano Agung and fishing villages will shook with their irresistible. In Titaganga Palace, everything reminds Dwangung. These are reservoirs, fountains, and numerous sculptures.
It is noteworthy that in this place there is a spring, which symbolizes the origin of life on Earth. At least it is symbolic for local residents. Water from it is taken for rituals and ceremonies. One such excursion for a day should be enough. "What to take yourself?" The reader will ask.
Shopping
The fourth day of stay on Bali is suitable for shopping. For a few days, no matter how cool, you know where what and how much. Therefore - Ida shopping! On Bali should not be purchased for a year ahead of things. Clothes of famous brands here is better to go around the side. It is preferable to make your choice in favor of carved wooden products. If you took with you not enough dresses or sundresses (most of the suitcase fascinated on the seams before the trip, but everything is not desirable), then you can buy a good model in Kuta or in Legiana.
For walks along the benches and shops will take several hours. To find what you really enjoy, you will have to run and spend precious time. The benefit that it is available and will be spent far away. How many pleasant little things are waiting for the Bali of their only buyer! Those who are still chasing the popular clothing brands, are waiting for two large shopping center in Kuta. This is Discovery and Matahary. They are close to each other. But if you want to find something unique, then you should walk on numerous streets in search of the goods of the dream. And buying will become successful, and the mood will rise.
It is not known whether even once every time in life is in this wonderful island, take a walk without hurrying around its surroundings, admire the unique charms that the tropical island is so rich. You can complete the day with a delicious dinner in a restaurant or cafe. Specific place to advise is difficult. It all depends on the place of residence, the level of income and eating preferences. In general, find a place where they are well prepared, even if there is no big amount of money, is not a problem.
Day 5.
Auto rental
This day it would be nice to spend with maximum body benefit and for the soul. You can start it from the excursion, and then pamper yourself with something nice. The choice of excursions is huge, how to put priorities? To see as much interesting and unusual as possible, you can take a car with a driver. Russian-speaking - the best option. It will become both a driver and a guide in one face.
If an English-speaking driver comes, who in Bali the overwhelming majority will have to somehow look for a common language with him. The price of travel negotiable. Approximately half a day you can pay about $ 50. As an example - a trip to the south of Bali.
Park Bali Cultural
The first significant landmark is Bali Cultural Park. The park has recently emerged, so far in it goes on construction and design. Despite the incompleteness of work, the lack of what can be viewed, no. Seed again in the car, you can chat with the driver. If, of course, there will be mutual understanding.
Locals with hunting are told about local customs and traditions. For example, you can find out that children on Bali are called names in order of priority. The first kid born in the family is called Wyang, the second give the name Made, the third - Nyoman and so on. And the fifth again assign the name of Wyang. Accordingly, many children with the same name are growing. To distinguish one from the other, sometimes it takes a lot of time.
Beach Dreamland Beach.
Being breathing from the soul and replenishing your knowledge luggage, you will probably drive up to the beach of Dreamland Beach. This is one of the most beautiful places of the island. Water on the beach of such azure color, which is difficult to describe. One disadvantage is that everything is paid on the beach. This applies to the umbrella, toilet, soul. It's not worth sitting here for a long time.
Temple Ulwatatu
Beautiful beach, but there are other attractions that deserve more attention. In particular, the Temple of Uluwatu. It is better to look at it in the daytime, as in the morning and in the evening there are crowds of the people. Many come to this place for sunset, which is extremely beautiful. On the territory where the temple is located, you can log in for 20 rupees.
Tourists in open clothing are not allowed here. We will have to either buy for rent Sarong, or stay without impressions for the fence. The most interesting thing is that it is necessary to cover the bare parts of the body not only to women, but also to men. Inside the temple of tourists are not allowed. But this is not trouble. On Bali, in general, you can visit a small number of temples, being a foreign tourist. It should be used to it.
Uluvatu goes to the sake of stunning species of nature. The temple is located, one can say on the edge of light. This is the lingering popularity. Having in love, you can go home to rest.
Day 6.
SPA programs
In the morning you can go to the beach. It is better to go to spa treatments or massage. Indonesia takes an honorable place in the spa ranking. Here is better than in Thailand or in India. Testing how the body slowly relaxes, it is necessary to yourself. Fatigue and stress will instantly abandon the patient.
Employees of spas will help navigate among many services provided. In the evening you should walk on the beach on the shore, dream and make pictures for memory. Dinner in a relaxed atmosphere will complement this day as it is impossible.
Day 7.
The last day on Bali must be carried out so that he is remembered as one of the best. It is worth trying to do everything that was planned. At the end of the rest must be exceptionally positive emotions and moments. On this day it is better not to walk on excursions, but to devote yourself to pleasure with warmth and exotic. Of course, it is impossible not to go to the beach to swim and sunbathe, and in the evening it is worth collecting a suitcase, and without losing the bottom of the last clock on Bali, walk before bedtime through the streets.
As a rule, when it comes to Bali, we imagine a fairy-tale island with tropical vegetation, hospitable locals, as well as a warm ocean and beautiful sunsets. This island has always been manil travelers from all over the world, but recently, our tourists have become especially popular for Bali.
For Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians and residents of other CIS countries, the journey to this wonderful island has always carried a lot of advantages: first, it is reasonable prices for rest, secondly, beautiful nature, thirdly, the ability to place a visa right at the airport .
However, when buying a tour in the agencies, the cost will be overshadowed, so we will recommend to save on Bali on our own, the benefit of doing this today is not so difficult. We need to make a plan of travel, book a ticket and find a place of residence, and then Place the necessary documents.

Hotel reservation
There is a fairly large selection of housing in various costs, including typical hotels, cozy guesthouses and luxury villas. The process of self-booking of the hotel online is reviewed by.
Early hotel reservation on the Internet will allow you to save almost half the amount. But there is another effective way to save at Bali's room booking, while not losing in comfort. The fact is that the same numbers in hotels (in the same hotels) on different sites are estimated differently, somewhere low, and somewhere essentially higher. The main task is to find a website with the lowest price for this hotel. But booking sites are many (only large sites on Bali hotels are more than 100 pieces), go for each and compare prices - this is a very long and tedious process, because in this case every time you need to introduce a place of rest, date of arrival, departure date, number Man in the room, the necessary meals, it will take more than 10 hours of your precious time. That is why a service has been created that saves a lot of time and finds the lowest price for the hotel among hundreds of sites. It scans all the sites on the hotel, compares all the offers and displays the most profitable option for you, and the service itself is absolutely free. Why overpay for hotels, because this money will be useful at the resort itself and will increase your level of comfort? Just use RoomGuru service and be sure - you will find the most advantageous offer!

How to remove housing
Some travelers traveling to Bali's trip on their own, rent a separate house for accommodation from locals, but this is a fairly risky option, because Not all homeowners are decent people, and in some homes after the day of living, insects are found, which can significantly pour rest. But if you are still not afraid to rent a house in another country, then it is necessary to do it as safe as possible as possible.
There is a special service called AirBNB (you can read more about the service) on which you can rent a house on Bali, as well as in many other places of our planet. Airbnb does not guarantee 100% protection against fraudsters and bad houses, but still, to use them much safer than renting housing at the first homeowner.
It is better to take care of the booking of an apartment or room in advance, especially if the Tour dates come on a high season. To actually save, but live with comfort, book accommodation at least a few months.
Naturally, the prices for coastal houses located on the first line will be higher than at the housing in the city feature, slightly remote from the sea.
Of course, you can try to find the appropriate option in place, but for this you will need a lot of time, good knowledge of English, as well as driver's license to move around the island in search of houses for rent.
Required documents
For self-journey to Bali, quite some documents will be required. If you do not plan to stay on the island more than a month, the early design of the visa will not need. Test printing can be obtained for free already in, directly upon arrival at Bali. If you think to linger on the island longer than 1 month, it is better to immediately purchase a renewed visa for $ 35 (a maximum of 60 days is issued).
Tourists departing on Bali's trip on their own, preferably in advance, as medical services on Bali are not cheap. Well, of course, do not forget your passport when leaving the house.
The main resorts and sights of the island
Thinking around how to go to Bali on their own, you will definitely be the question of the main places that you should visit. There are, differing in the atmosphere and nature. Almost all seats can be cheap to reach (it is best to know about it right now according to the link provided to easily navigate on the island).
You can enjoy the traditional holiday on Nusa Dua Beach, Legian and Seminyak or to enjoy the nightlife in a noisy cute, familiarize yourself with the works of local artisans and admire the rice terraces in the city of Masters Ubud or look at the black sand in the former capital of Bali Singarage.
In addition, there are hundreds of temples on the paradise Indonesian island, which are worthy of visiting in the morning or sunset when the flow of tourists is not so strong. It is also necessary to get to the Volcanana Batour with the same lake, watch the wonderful sunset from the windows of the Temple of Uluwatu or go to one of the waterfalls, whether it is a git-git, semblaus or melancing. For better understanding with the local population, it is better to know, they can come in handy in a variety of situations, starting by trading on the market, ending with a request for help (if such a sudden need it, which is extremely rare).
In addition to cultural enrichment, you can actively relax on Bali: go to the rafting on the Ajung River, ride the wave in the ocean along with local siefs, ride on elephants or go to the water park in the Kuta area. It is better to order in advance so that there are no problems with the payment and explanation of the guide that you want to specifically see.

If you get acquainted with the purchase of tickets of the month for two, you can put in $ 100 in both ends. From Bangkok - at least twice as expensive.
UPD: Air Asia announced the abolition of Phuket-Denpasar flight from 01.10.2012. Now from Thailand on Bali, you can get through Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.
From the Indonesian capital of Jakarta and in general from the neighboring Island of Java on Bali, you can get on the bus and ferry.
Visa
Indonesisian visa-sticker is bought immediately at the airport for $ 35 and is valid 30 days. By the expiration of these days, it can be extended for another month, without leaving the country. Since 2015, entry into Indonesia for Russians becomes visa-free.
Money
National currency of Indonesia - Rupee, at the end of 2014 the course - 11,000 rupees per dollar. Yes, in Indonesia, it is very easy to feel like a millionaire.
The big problem in Indonesia for foreigners is represented by local ATMs: the cash removal limit for one operation everywhere is set very low - a maximum of 2.5 million rupees (a little more than $ 200). Given that for each such operation and an ATM, and the bank does a stupid commission, the cash of the ATM is becoming not a particularly profitable enterprise.
What to do with it on a global scale is incomprehensible, but Sitibank saved us in the first trip and Tinky Bank in the second. At the City Limit - 3 (or even 3.5) million rupees at a time, plus the complete absence of a commission for their cardholders. Their ATMs are installed at the airport and in Jimbaran near McDonalds (the exact address of the location on the map can be viewed on the official website). And Tinkykova has free cash withdrawal in any ATM in the world. So on Bali, we managed to "master" Nakhalyava.
Southeast Asia is considered to be our banks not particularly reliable in terms of payment operations, so one card was still blocked without warning. It happened, however, a month after departure from Bali, so the Bank's logic is not very clear. The bank in this case was "Avangard", a suspicious operation - payments for shopping in Matahari in Kuta. In general, more cards are good and different.
Tongue
In Indonesia, they speak in their own language - Bahasa Indonesia, quite similar to the Malay Bahasa Malay. At Balinese, as a separate people, there is also their own language - Balinese, respectively.
In general, for a month spent on Bali, except for ZdRST-thanks-Thank you, we didn't learn anything on Bahas, because almost everywhere you can be badly explained in English. Even in the deaf mountain villages, children are able to say three phrases in English - apparently, well in school learn \u003d))
Residence
I considered the topic in detail in the post of pro, but I repeat once again: the accommodation on Bali is good, beautiful and relatively inexpensive. You want a guesthouse - there will be a guesthouse, you want a five-star hotel - please want your own home - no problem. In general, the prices are slightly higher than Thai, but we get for this money as a rule much more.
How beautiful is the situation with housing, the same terribly thing is with the Internet. Well, if you go to Bali to relax, then you will not need the Internet.
Hot season on Bali is a new year and summer from May to September. At this time, the most delicious accommodation options can be disassembled or booked.
Putting
I have already complained about the Balinese food on the pluses and minuses of Bali. Put the hand on the heart, in restaurants and cafes eat quite safely, it will not be very tasty. However, some Balinese cuisine even like.
Transport
The transcommerial situation on Bali is rather complicated - almost 4 million people live on the island, and the existing narrow tracks for their movement is clearly not enough. The experiencies in the south connecting the Bucit Peninsula with all the rest of Bali, standing in the eternal stopper, the situation in the nearest resort cities of the Kute and Jimbaran is also far from ideal.
Because of this garbage, the people living in Kuta and the surrounding area moves mainly on the bikes, although I would not call this type of transport perfect for Bali. Narrow and bad roads, long distances, regular rains and a high concentration of woodwood on the roads force to vote with hands and legs for the car, especially since the prices for renting four-wheeled vehicles on Bali start from $ 10 per day and $ 200 per month. Two-wheeled pontak type Honda Vario (Honda Click of the last generation) True, you can rent for a month and for 50 bucks ...
Indonesia officially does not recognize the Russian driver's license of the "plastic card" design, therefore, the type is needed. Local cops do it and actively enjoy this knowledge to extort money. True, they stopped just once and let go after a disadvantaged conversation, but the owner of our money recorder said that the paper in 20 thousand rupees ($ 2) uncontroll in the form in the case of which it would well satisfy.
Security and Figes
Bali can be called a rather safe place, although the habits of local residents in places and give India. When you buy anything, you will not be confused on the blue eye to break the price ten, so the ability to bargain is a very useful skill.
In the resortfractions they climb into cars and trunk of bikes, so documents and other valuable and not very things are better not to leave there.
Well, in general, Balinese are the cute hearts with amazing culture and traditions. Perhaps they are the very real mysterious Bali.
