In
Malaysia, we have great selection of mouth watering delicacies that we are
known for, our country is also known for its great number of public holidays
which we absolutely love and look forward too. The reason behind why we
look forward to our public holidays are – it is the perfect time for a quick
getaway with your friends, loved ones or even by yourself. So, if you can’t
wait for your holidays but have no idea where your next vacation is going be,
mouse mommy would totally recommend that we can visit to Bali, Indonesia. My
part time maid ‘kakak’ always shared with me her ‘kampung’ story, food and
interesting place to go. Here are some of the places that you should not miss
in Bali.
Tanah
Lot
Tanah
Lot is definitely Bali’s most iconic landmark. This beautiful temple is built
on top of a huge rock and is surrounded by the crystal clear sea with waves
crashing constantly on to its base. Being Bali’s most important sea temples,
Tanah Lot pays homage to the guardian of the spirits of the sea. Other than
that, the temple also offers one of the most picturesque sunsets that will
surely take your breath away.
Besakih Temple
Also
known as the ‘Mother Temple”, Besakih Temple is perched on the slopes of Mount
Agung, at a lofty 1000m above ground. Being the largest of all the Balinese
temples, Bekasih has eighteen separate sanctuaries that belongs to different
caste groups that surround the three main temples dedicated to Shiva, Brahma
and Vishnu. Pura Penataran Agung in the center has white banners for
Shiva, the destroyer, Pura Kiduling Kreteg on the right side with red banners
is for Brahma, the creator and Pura Batu Madeg represents Vishnu, the preserver
with its black banners. Bekasih Temple is also surrounded by the most scenic
paddy fields, hills, mountains and streams.
Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Tegallalang
Rice Terraces is famous for its beautiful scenes of rice paddies that involves
the subak (traditional balinese cooperative irrigation system). According to
history, the subak was passed down by a revered holy man named Rsi Markandeya
in the eight century. Tegallalang forms the three most splendid terraced
landscapes in Ubud’s shared region, with the others being in the villages of
Pejeng and Campuhan. The Tegallalang rice terraces alone offers a scenic
outlook that spreads down before you and across the rice paddies on the slopes
across the valley.
Goa Gajah
Goa
Gajah also known as the Elephant Cave is an archaeological site that houses
significant historical elements that makes it a special place to visit in Bali.
It is located on the cool western edge of Bedulu Village, six kilometers out of
central Ubud where you would not need even an hour to go down to their
relic-filled courtyard to view the rock-wall carvings, a central carving, a
central meditational cave, bathing pools and beautiful fountains.
Kintamani and Mount Batur
If
you want to visit a Bali volcano and make it your sightseeing highlight, you
should totally make your way to the Kintamani volcano or Mount Batur which is
one of the most popular trek in Bali. The captivating Mount Batur surrounds the
13km Batur Caldera Lake. Those who are looking for an adventure can totally
take the winding road down to the lake shore that leads you to Toya Bungkah,
Ulun Danu Batur temple and a collection of hot springs.
