This is Bali Island blog site, you will find everything information all about Bali Island right here. In a future if you have plan to visit Bali Island, you are welcome here.

Rainfall is the major climatic variable in Bali and differs markedly across the island.  Dry seasons range from a few weeks to eight or nine months with corresponding major variations in vegetation : torrid lowland rain forest, periodically dry forest where some deciduous trees react to the lack of water by losing their leaves, and yellow and brown savanna vegetation in some coastal areas.  On mountain slopes, trees are characteristically adorned with garlands of light green lichen.

Virtually all of Bali is geologically volcanic.   The western hills are remains of volcanoes  from more than million years ago, and the peaks to their east are progressively younger.  These are classified as basaltic strato volcanoes, and the lava they spew is quite liquid, spreading up to a half mile in an hour.  Although Bali has not had eruption for twenty years, the signs are still present in the barren lava on some of the slopes of Agung (about 9950 feet) and Batur (about 5665 feet ).

Volcanoes rule every facet of Bali’s geology, they create the island’s landforms, regenerate its soils, and help produce the downpours which sustain the island’s agriculture.  In acknowledgement of the pervasive role volcanoes play in their lives, the Balinese consider the sacred.

Most of Bali’s remaining forests are in the center of the western arm, but significant areas remain west and east Bedugul and around the outer slopes of Mount Batur.  There are four main types: the savanna forests of the  Bali Barat National Park, the low rain forest, small areas of deciduous forest, and the montane forests. The Balinese are not trekkers, and there are few path through the forests.  As a result there are some virtually untouched areas where forest wildlife thrives.

More than sun and sand await the visitor to visit Bali’s beautiful coast.  Kuta, with its pounding waves for surfing, Sanur, with its protecting reef for quiet family swim, Uluwatu, with its fascinating rock pools, and Benoa Bay’s, mangroves forest all a world of ceatures, large and small, whose habitat is the shallow waters of the island’s coast.
