Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

From the shore of the Musi River, hire a sampan for Rp50 to cross over to the other side. At the small town of Kayuagung on the banks of the Komering River pottery is made in the Kedaton quarter across the river from the Mangunjaya residential district. A big pot fired in the open air under a kiln of brushwood costs Rp50. Also traditional style gilt and red cabinets and chests are still made here. Pagaralam: Take the train first to Lahat, then take the local bus to Pagaralam, a mountain village as high as Bukittinggi. Lots of ganja grows wild. Also found are halucinegenic fruits of South Sumatra such as the kepayang which is like smoking ganja ('you fly, you fly') and the plant kadui. Fermented durian eaten here acts as a dramatic aprodisiac. Gunung Dempo, on which this town sits, erupted in September 1976 and killed 8 people.
