Rice paddies provide its dramatic backdrop, cascading down hillsides, along with forests and tropical beaches lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. This is a mystical land steeped in traditions that have created unique architecture, music, dance and religion. Buddhism and Hinduism have evolved into Hindu-dharma, a unique type of Hinduism that brings the island alive with vibrant and colourful ceremonies. The Balinese are a very friendly and deeply religious people who take much meaning from the land around them and its spirits. Ancient temples and royal residences permeate the island’s interior and a must see is Mount Batur for a dramatic view of the dormant volcanic areas.
