Some of the most famous North Bali activity & sightseeing places
The North Coast of Bali is an emerging destination for the more discerning visitor with more natural attractions than any other parts of Bali Island. Karangasem (South-East & East) and Buleleng (North-East, North and North-West) regencies has it all – dramatic sceneries, dozens of beaches and coral reefs, WW2 ship wrecks for diving and snorkeling, ancient sites, a unique Bali Aga (origin Bali inhabitants) village Tenganan.
Beautiful waterfalls in the jungle forest, Bali National Park (North-West Bali), Mountain Lakes, lots of traditional markets, large holy temples, sacred royal bath, royal palaces and spectacular marine biodiversity. Beautiful traditional rice terraces, jungle and rice field trekking and not to mention the famous dolphins swimming and jumping daily along Bali’s North Coast.
The pace of life is slower here without the tacky nightspots, terrible traffic and excesses of South Bali. Clean air, clean oceans and low traffic make your stay in any place of these regencies a real enjoyable time. This famous tourist area offers endless opportunities to enjoy a holiday or living in still magnificent nature and traditional Balinese environment. All locations along the North Bali coast have their own charm and beauty.
