The West vs The Rest: Why West Bali?
West Bali is home to some of the best natural beauties in the island. Of course, saying ‘natural beauty’ doesn’t say much when it comes to Bali, as there are breathtaking sights everywhere. But this time, it’s not only natural beauty but untouched natural beauty. For one, it hosts the one and only West Bali National Park. It is also a place to enjoy the water as you can surf at Medewi Beach or a snorkel at Menjangan Island. If you want something more inland, there is also scenic Palasari dam where you can enjoy picturesque scenes. All of the places mentioned above are still pristine and clean compared to South or even East Bali.
Other than parks and beaches, West Bali is also home to Mount Merbuk, an active volcano you can hike and trek in. It is advisable that you hike and trek before sunrise as temperatures can get very hot once the sun is out.
Other than untouched natural beauties, West Bali is also a place for culture study too. For one, if you are visiting Negara in West Bali at the right time you can observe and enjoy a bull racing competition. In West Bali, you could easily learn how the life of an average Bali citizen goes. All in all, their pristine natural sites and their earthy residential atmosphere offers an amazing getaway experience.
