Bali

Bali combines a sacred inland culture with an outward-looking coastal character in a way that reflects its position between Java and Lombok in the Lesser Sunda Islands. The Indian Ocean borders its south coast and the Bali Sea its north, while a volcanic spine includes Mount Agung, the island’s highest peak. Rice cultivation shapes much of the interior through the cooperative subak irrigation tradition; the Cultural Landscape of Bali Province joined the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. Temple ceremonies, gamelan music and daily offerings set a distinctive rhythm, from the densely settled south to cooler uplands. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Bali.
