Why is Bali such a popular tourist destination? 
Bali is one of Asia’s most popular tourist destinations because it’s got something for all types of holiday-goers – an exciting nightlife of bars and entertainment, secluded beaches to surf on, and a rich heritage to explore. 

Best of all though, the island landscape of Bali is home to nearly every kind of beautiful natural scenery to admire and snap photos of, including lush mountainous rainforests, expansive and serene lakes, gushing rivers and waterfalls, and of course, its iconic rice fields.

What should you pack when travelling to Bali?
Bali weather is hot and humid all year round, so pack all the usual summer holiday essentials including swimwear, t-shirts, shorts, and dresses – any clothes that are light and airy.

Plus, if you’re planning on staying active with mountainous hikes and treks around local villages, we also recommend bringing along hiking essentials including comfy walking boots, sunhats, anti-chafing shorts, and a large and sturdy backpack.
