Exploring the northern part of Bali which is sheltered by the mountains that divide Bali from east to west. For a long time, the northern region has been isolated from the rest of Bali. This accounts for the fact that North Bali still has its own, typical rites and customs. Also called ‘the other side of Bali’, North Bali is an interesting destination for those who love authentic culture and pristine nature with tranquil, rural surroundings. #bali #indonesia #travelgram #travelawesome
Finally checked off my bucket list! Kelingking Beach ✔️ The T-Rex shaped cliff side at Kelingking Beach has rocketed tourism into the sky with it’s natural iconic beauty. Thanks to social media, Instagram especially, this view point is now top of most people’s lists of attractions when heading over to Bali. The secluded beach itself is down a rugged 400m cliffside hike. #nusapenida #bali #travelgram #travelawesome #bestvacations #paradise🌴
