Bali is a "paradise" island in Indonesia, the appearance of which is formed by overgrown wild forests, dormant volcanoes, flooded rice fields, magnificent beaches and coral reefs.

Translated from Sanskrit, the word "Bali" means "hero".

Despite the fact that Indonesia is considered a Muslim country, 83.5% of the Balinese profess their religion, based on Hinduism.

The tropical island is home to many temples and religious monuments, including the rock-cut temple Pura Luhur Uluwatu.

In the southern part of the island is the crowded city of Kuta and the popular resorts of Nusa Dua, Sanur and Seminyak.

The island is traditionally known for its yoga and meditation centers.
