Nature of Bali Indonesia

Bali, Indonesia. Nature has always been one of the things which Bali will always be proud of. Despite the spawning luxury Bali hotels, restaurants and other commercial structures in the island, the wonderful nature it has is steadfastly protected and preserved. In Bali, people are indeed given the rare opportunity to have a close encounter with Mother Nature.

In the northern part of Bali, there is this one prestigious paradise which must be visited by tourists. It is the magnificent Munduk Waterfalls. Located in the steep Munduk Village and sitting on an altitude of about 800 meters above sea level, a trip to the Munduk Waterfalls will surely bring forth a spectacular experience.

Before laying eyes on the splendid beauty of the waterfall, people will have to succumb to a wonderful nature reserve welcoming them. Seeing the attraction brings anyone to a short hiking adventure deep in the rain forest of Munduk Village. The jungle is made spectacular by giant bamboo trees and colorful flowers and plants. Tourists will not have a hard time trekking, though, since most of the tracks to the waterfall are paved already. Signboards are also provided for the ease of the visitors.

A few minutes of walking will lead to the breathtaking site of Munduk Waterfalls. It is exceptionally beautiful during the mornings when there is still fog. People can take pictures with the falls' glory as background. If lucky, they could even capture a small rainbow crossing under the waterfall. People are allowed to plunge into the deep, cold water.

But if swimming and trekking is not satisfactory, then people should try visiting the spectacular and very picturesque Jateluwih Rice Terraces.

One of the favourite tourist destinations in Bali is the Jateluwih Rice Terraces. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is located in an altitude of 700 meters above the sea; and evident on its stunning beauty, it is known as the perfect rice terraces in Bali.

It is really difficult to believe that these rice terraces are actually made by the hands of the locals. It is exceptionally beautiful during the harvest seasons when the layers of fields are covered with lush green carpets of rice plants. During the mornings, when the dawn is breaking, the view is breathtaking; especially when the rays of the mighty sun start embracing the field - all these with the silhouette of Mount Batukaru in the background. It exhibits the best scenery one could ever get in Bali.

The Jateluwih Rice Terraces is located in a quite far-off place in Bali that is why it is not often visited by tourists. But despite its remote whereabouts, coming to this wonderful natural scenery is worth the effort and time. People should not worry about staying here late because there will always be a cheap Bali hotel anywhere in the island for those who need it. The Munduk Waterfalls and the Jateluwih Rice Terraces are just two of the spectacular destinations to allow people to have a close encounter with nature.
