ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BALI INDONESIA TRAVEL

1. Be careful at Ngurah Rai International Airport.

To begin with, as any Bali travel guide will inform you, be wary of taxi drivers. Before you dive into the fragrant air, you'll have to fend off aggressive taxi drivers who may mistake a Bali visitor for another passenger on the flight and take your bag without asking. They'd approach you with a warm smile on their face and snatch your luggage before driving off in their car expecting you to follow them and accept their exorbitant prices.

To prevent it, use the Grab or Gojek app to get an authorized auto. The drivers will usually provide you with strict instructions on where to meet. As a result, you may avoid eye contact with regular taxi drivers and proceed directly to the meeting place where your driver is waiting.

2. Eat Your Fill Of Scrumptious Food

BABI GULING

Now that you're safe and sound, let's have a look at the cuisine, one of the foundations of Bali Indonesia travel. Food on the island has unique tastes that cannot be found elsewhere in Indonesia. Because spices and ingredients are used differently, distinctive dishes like babi guling develop. Also known as suckling pig, this dish is uncommon outside of Bali since pork is forbidden by Islam and Indonesia is a Muslim-majority nation. The popularity of babi guling stems from the fact that very few Muslims live on Bali, which explains why it's so popular.

BALINESE SATE

The Balinese sate, one of the most popular street meals, are different from those found in Malaysia. These versions have huge pieces of meat on a skewer with the characteristic Balinese flavor. They usually have a proper balance of sweet, salty, and sour-ish freshness on the outside that guards the distinctive Balinese spices inside.Balinese sate is served at every street corner throughout Bali, with a variety of meats including beef, chicken, lamb, and even rabbit. Gourmet Sate House in Kuta is the place to go for one of the greatest sates on the island at reasonable costs.

GADO GADO

If you're a vegetarian, try gado gado, an Indonesian salad with tofu, tempeh, kidney beans, hard-boiled eggs, cucumbers and bean sprouts tossed in a unique peanut sauce dressing. It has a sweet and savory taste that includes a hint of spice. Gado gado is a popular dish that is acceptable by many Bali visitors as well as easily accessible at many restaurants and roadside vendors.

BUBUR SUMSUM

If sweets are your Achilles' heel, the bubur sumsum is the remedy. It's made with coconut milk, rice flour, and palm sugar syrup and is a traditional dessert served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack in Balinese cuisine. Consider tau foo fah but not quite. Some vendors include sweet potato dumplings in their version of the dish.

3.Visit The Beaches And Waterfalls

NUSA DUA BEACH

The beach of Nusa Dua is one of Bali's most beautiful regions, with pearl-white fine sand lining the coast and a wash of turquoise water. The beach is also close to several five-star resorts with manicured lawns and towering palms for a full Bali experience. Aside from tanning and swimming, there are numerous family-friendly water activities on offer along the beach. There are also lots of beach restaurants and even a shopping center in the area with a Bali travel guide, which offers everything you need for your holiday.

JIMBARAN BAY

If you prefer a more peaceful spot, the lengthy white sandy beach at Jimbaran Bay is ideal. Jimbaran Bay is where local fishermen sell their early-morning catches before they go to the wet markets for a lower price. Jimbaran Bay isn't simply a beautiful beach; it's also Bali's official seafood hub, which explains why there are so many barbeque and seafood restaurants along the coast at sunset. Going to Jimbaran Bay with your significant other for a romantic meal is certainly something you should consider.

THOMAS BEACH

Thomas Beach, previously known as a hidden beach, is no longer a secret after all. Fortunately, it has retained its status as one of the clearest and quietest bays on the Indonesian island. You'll also discover plenty of dining options at the bay's entranceThomas Beach, on Bali's north coast, is best known for being a little-known secret beach. Because of its remote location and steep flight of stone steps leading to it, the beach is known as a hidden treasure among the Bali destinations you could visit. Once you've seen the aqua blue seas and delicate white sands, you'll understand why going to all this trouble to get there is well worth it.

BINGIN BEACH

Unless a local leads you there or if you request competent directions, finding this beach might be difficult for most Bali tourists. You may look for signs made of recycled wood or seek out people carrying their surfboards. Wooden signs and surfboards are both symbols of the beach's bohemian and hippie culture. It is, without a doubt, open to all kinds of people. You'll also have the opportunity to watch large waves breaking on tiny sandy coves where you may swim during low tide.

SEKUMPUL WATERFALL IN SINGARAJA

This beautiful waterfall in Sekumpul village is the perfect addition to your Bali Indonesia vacation. Getting there is a journey, as you negotiate muddy steps, slick stone walkways, moist muddy grounds, and swim across a crystal-clear river. But once you've gotten up close and personal with Sekumpul Waterfall, the effort is definitely worth it.It's made up of seven tiny waterfalls, each one cascading from a different height and with its own distinct personality, so it feels like you're in a fairy tale. You may hire a local guide to show you the way there for convenience's sake.
