Hello and welcome to Bali Travel Tips! I created this little website to help you explore Bali from the comfort of your computer. Now it doesn't matter if you don't have a chance to go to Bali, for you can now get to know all the places there, all its towns, villages and tourist attractions, as though you are there yourself! And you can do it at Bali Travel Tips, without ever leaving your desk.

This website is not a travelogue. This website is not based on my travels, rather it is a compilation based on my research. It reflects my desire to know everything about Bali, and to share my discovery with like-minded enthusiasts. It helps to answer the question: "What's there to see in Bali?"



Bali is a beautiful, enchanting island in Indonesia. It has long been recognised as one of the most popular playgrounds in Asia, for those seeking sun and sea. Those who visit Bali will quickly recognise how unique it is. There is so much to discover about the island, and it goes beyond its beaches. Bali hotels, resorts and spas are some of the best in the world, and the level of hospitality is on par with international standards.

 Over the centuries, Bali has drawn influences from surrounding cultures, primarily India, and merged them with its own homegrown creativity, to create a culture that can only be described as uniquely its own.

Through Bali Travel Tips, I want to guide you with clear explanation of Balinese culture, its history, and describe each of the major temples in detail. In addition, I will provide you practical tips so that your trip to Bali will be enjoyable, smooth and memorable.

I created Bali Travel Tips to assemble all the useful tips about Bali. You can find here information on budget accommodation in Bali, cheap Bali Flights, and details on all the major temples on the island.
