LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL ITINERARY INFORMATION
Itinerary: Bali: Bali’s Spiritual Centre
Untitled Document
ONE TO TWO WEEKS
Start at Pura Luhur
Ulu Watu right at the southern tip of Bali.
It’s one of only nine directional temples, as well as a sea temple honouring the many gods in the waters right around the island. Head east to
Pura Mas Suka, with its remote outlook over the Indian Ocean. From here go north, following the sea temples of the west coast of South Bali –
Pura Petitenget in Seminyak is a classic example. Time your visit to
Pura Tanah Lot for the morning when crowds are few. One glimpse of its perfect location and you’ll understand why the hordes descend for sunset.
In
Ubud, settle in for a few days at one of the amazing hotels and experience Balinese art and culture. It won’t take long to see how beauty of the mind and spirit merge here. You will find the best of Balinese culture here and in the surrounding villages.
Heading east,
Semarapura was once the centre of Bali’s most important kingdom. Learn how the Balinese held out against the Dutch among its fascinating palace ruins. Find your own spiritual centre in the verdant hills and valleys of East Bali. End your journey in
Amed, with its dramatic and contemplative ocean overlooks.
