East Bali: Why should you go?

rice051205v2_opt.jpgEast Bali is my favourite part of the island for a number of reasons. Life out there is way slower than in the Kuta, Legian, Seminyak area, the scenery is lovely and the bule population is very low. All this makes for a pleasant environment to relax. Hell when I retire I might even move out there with my wives and girlfriends.

For the visitor you are looking at a 2-hour drive from Kuta to Candi Dasa, the last main tourist center on the coastal road heading east. Here are some of the highlights that East Bali has to offer.

  • Gunung Agung: The highest volcano is Bali (3142m) that can be seen all over Bali.
  • Besakih temple: The Mother temple is the most important temple in Bali and is located on the western slope of Gunung Agung.
  • Candi Dasa: The coastal strip of hotels and restaurants that provide a handy base for doing day trips to the rest of East Bali.
  • Tirtaganga: Elegant water palace designed by the last Raja. Located in a scenic valley and a great place for a cooling swim.
  • Iseh & Sideman: Singled out on maps for the picturesque rice terraces. A more traditional side of Bali away from the crowds. Accommodation is available.
  • Amed: A coastal strip that wraps around the SE corner of Bali. Beautiful views, good snorkeling and diving. A place to get away from it all and still have a good level of comfort.

    Hi there,
    We all love reading your blog but Nick can you please not use Bule to describe white people please? Its offensive and would be seen as so if you used the word slope to describe Indonesians.
    As soon as I started speaking good Indo I stopped hearing that word at all from Indonesians…..that in itself proves as it says in the dictionary that the word is derogatory.

    Keep up the postings!
