The most magical festival in Bali. The day before, the thunderous night parade of the 'Ogoh-Ogoh' (giant paper mache monsters to scare away demons) is celebrated. The next day, the entire island goes into absolute silence for 24 hours: no flights, no traffic, no lights on, offering a night of dazzling starry sky.
The season is king for surfers: the easterly trade winds blow offshore, combing perfect, tubular waves at Echo Beach and Batu Bolong under dry, temperate blue skies.
The skies of the southwest coast are filled with thousands of traditional handcrafted gigantic kites (up to 10 meters in the shape of birds and fish) flown by local communities to pray for bountiful harvests to the Hindu gods.
Explore the Sacred Monkey Forest, the monumental rice terraces of Tegalalang, waterfalls such as Tegenungan, and jungle yoga and craft centres.
Tour South Bali's towering cliffs, white sand beaches and turquoise waters (Padang Padang, Bingin) and watch the traditional Kecak dance at sunset at Uluwatu Temple.
Climb to the northern highlands to descend to the imposing Nungnung waterfall (50m drop) and visit the famous Pura Ulun Danu Bratan lake temple surrounded by mist.
Take a speedboat from the nearby port of Sanur to marvel at the T-Rex-shaped cliff of Kelingking Beach and swim with giant manta rays at Manta Point.
Guided night trekking walk to reach the summit of the active volcano Mount Batur (1,717 m) at dawn, watching the sunrise over the crater lake and the Agung volcano.
