Excerpted from the book: Bali’s
best-known resort is Kuta beach, an eight-kilometre sweep of golden sand whose
international reputation as a hangout for weekending Australian surfers is
enhanced by its numerous restaurants, bars, clubs and shops. Travellers seeking
more relaxed alternatives generally head across the southern peninsula to
Sanur or, increasingly, to peaceful Candi Dasa further east, or the black
volcanic sands of Lovina on the north coast. Quieter, but more upmarket, seaside
options can be found at Jimbaran in the south and Pemuteran in the northwest.
On Lombok, the Senggigi coastline offers the widest range of accommodation,
while the nearby and rapidly developing Gili Islands have long been a favourite
with backpackers. All these resorts make comfortable bases for divers and
snorkellers, within easy reach of the islands’ fine reefs; Bali also
boasts an unusually accessible wreck dive. Surfers on Bali head for the famed
south-coast swells (particularly around Uluwatu) and the offshore island breaks
of Nusa Lembongan, though less experienced wave-riders find Kuta and Medewi
more manageable. There’s also plenty of surfing potential off Lombok’s
south coast. Despite the obvious
attractions of the beach resorts, most visitors also venture inland to experience
more traditional island life. On Bali, the once-tiny village of Ubud has become
a hugely popular cultural centre, still charming but undeniably commercialized,
where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets
are full of arts and crafts
galleries. Tetebatu on Lombok occupies a similarly cool position in the foothills,
although, like the island as a whole, it lacks the artistic heritage of Bali.
In general, the villages on both islands are far more appealing than the towns,
but Bali’s capital Denpasar, its former capital Singaraja, and Lombok’s
Ampenan-Mataram-Cakranegara-Sweta conurbation are all worth a day-trip for
their museums, markets and temples. Bali’s
other big draw is its proliferation of elegant Hindu temples, particularly
the spectacular island temple of Tanah Lot and the extensive Besakih complex
on the slopes of Gunung Agung. Temple festivals are also well worth attending:
held throughout the island and at frequent intervals during the year, most
are open to tourists. Both
islands hold a number of hiking possibilities, many of them up volcanoes.
The best is undoubtedly the climb to the crater lake of Lombok’s Gunung
Rinjani – one of the highest peaks in Indonesia – though the ascent
to the summit of Bali’s Gunung Batur is less arduous and therefore more
popular. Bali’s sole national park, Bali Barat, has relatively few interesting
trails, but is a rewarding place for bird-watching, as is the area around
Lake Bratan in the centre of the island. Even if you don’t want to go
hiking, it’s worth considering a trip to the northern hills for the
change of scenery and refreshing temperatures; the little village of Munduk
makes a satisfying focus.
WHEN TO GO: Located
firmly in the tropical zone, just eight degrees south of the equator, Bali
and Lombok enjoy fairly constant year-round temperatures, averaging 27°C
in the shade in the coastal areas and the hills around Ubud, and 22°C
in the central volcanoes around Kintamani. Both islands are hit by an annual
monsoon which brings rain, wind and a sometimes unbearable 97 percent humidity
from October through to March. The
best time to visit is outside the monsoon season, from May to September, though
monsoons are, like many other events in Indonesia, notoriously unpunctual,
and you should be prepared to get rained on in Ubud at any time of year. However,
the prospect of a daily rainstorm shouldn’t put you off: you’re
far more likely to get an hour-long downpour than day-long drizzle. In addition,
the landscape is at its most verdant during this time, and the rivers and
waterfalls at their most dramatic; mountain-climbing, though, is both unrewarding
and dangerous at this time of year. You should also be aware of the peak tourist
seasons: resorts on both islands get packed out between mid-June and mid-September
and again over the Christmas–New Year period, when prices rocket and
rooms can be fully booked for days or weeks in advance. For a two-day weather
