Bali

Bali is famous for beautiful scenery, friendly people and because of the unique art and culture.

Therefore, almost all branches of art, then there is clear separation between the sacred to the profane art, and art offerings to the performing arts.

When the time of the power of kings is very strong, the various branches of art and culture is entertainment of king and royal family. When the pattern of the government and people's lives more stable on the basis of Balinese Hindu philosophy, the art of Balinese culture was shifted towards the arts offerings.

Green Holiday in Paradise

Ecotourism for a green earth

Whenever we go on a trip to the major cities in the world, we would see a concrete jungle filled with skyscrapers. There is very little natural vegetation left to decorate the cities, now full of manmade structures. Malls and offices are built on what were playgrounds of children back in the old days.

If you are simply bored with that kind of atmosphere, why not try and enjoy nature for a change? Escape to an island with stunning landscapes, pristine rivers and lakes, untouched forests, and many other natural wonders to behold. Escape to Bali.

Bali Botanical Garden
After a tour to Bali’s famous landmarks such as Tanah Lot or Kuta Beach, try visiting the Eka Karya Botanical Garden, Bali’s own botanical garden. This garden specializes in collecting gymnosperms (needle-leafed plants) because they grow well in the region the garden is located in. The first plants in the botanical garden is brought from other similar, older botanical gardens in Indonesia, but later on the garden developed and began to collect more plants. Currently, Eka Karya has a complete begonia collection.

Bali Botanical Garden

The garden was created with aesthetics in mind, as well. Parts of the garden are built thematically to depict the Ramayana, an epic from Hindu mythology. The garden is decorated with statues that depict the characters and events of the story, and the plants are specially arranged to support the overall scene. The garden is an ideal location for photography, both amateur and professional.

TAMAN NASIONAL BALI BARAT

Home of the Balinese Starling, Taman Nasional Bali Barat is a national nature reserve with a well-preserved ecosystem. The reserve is also home to many species of plants and animals native to Bali. Migrant birds are also known to perch here during certain times of the year. The place hosts ecotourism and provides tourists with knowledge on the preservation of nature.

The Balinese Starling is a beautiful, white bird native to Bali. Due to various factors, such as poaching and loss of habitat, the bird is now an endangered species. However, due to preservation efforts from the government and NGOs, the population is steadily growing. The preservation of nature has long been a part of Balinese culture.

The Balinese practice a concept called ‘Tri Hita Karana’, which says that whatever humans do to nature, nature does upon them. This has enabled a peaceful and beautiful coexistence of man and nature in the island. All resources are conserved and used in moderation to ensure that the environment is left unharmed. Even irrigation systems are managed to allow every farmer in the village to enjoy adequate irrigation, and at the same time, preserving the river.

Folktales also play a part in preservation in Bali. Village elders occasionally tell stories of the dangers of cutting holy trees or desecrating rivers. In some villages, some trees are blessed or declared as holy due to the presence of spirits in the trees. Thus, villagers are not allowed to cut down that tree. These methods are done to ensure that villagers do not abuse nature for their own personal gains.
