Bali & Lombok [antikvár]

Destination Bali & Lombok A religious procession brings the tourist-thronged streets of Kuta to a stop; a dancer displays trance-like artistry at an Ubud cultural pavilion; a diver is transfixed by an untouched reef; a surfer finds the perfect break; a walker rubs her eyes trying to cope with the lush green beauty of the surrounding rice paddies; a jaded tourist is charmed by an unexpected act of kindness by a local - all of these things are part of a typical day on Bali. A destination that rises far above a typical tropical island by virtue of its culture, scenery and people. Where else will you find intricate offerings to the gods placed in serene little niches at world-class resorts? Or see a dance show with movements and music performed by a village dance troupe that has been perfecting their act for generations? Where else can you find sinuous ribbons of rice growing on green terraces wrapping around the hills, amid the myriad of palms and other lush growth? Of course, Bali's many splendid beaches are a main draw, but it has so much more - from top restaurants and nightlife of South Bali to hidden villages, where travellers can escape the tourist hubbub and much of modern life. Or escape Bali altogether on neighbouring Lombok, which boasts its own unique culture and offers countless chances to get off the beaten track. Together, Bali and Lombok offer travellers every kind of experience at every kind of budget. Perhaps their greatest appeal is that you can combine so many superb adventures in just one trip.
