Why  Bali? 

Bali is not just a place, it is a dream come true. This island has everything to offer to everyone, from beautiful beaches and green rice fields to rolling waves and a culture so unique that it feels like a different world. The ultimate Bali travel guide will help you enjoy every moment of your trip, regardless of your tastes for adventure, relaxation or just having fun.

Perfect time to visit 

Though Bali is amazing throughout the year, the best time to visit is during the sunny months, which go from April to October.

There are occasional showers during the rainy season from November to March, but at least there are smaller crowds and more rich vegetation.
