When it comes to Bali Island, Kuta Beach always tops the list of places to visit in Bali. After all, it is located in the city center and offers a beautiful backdrop. At this beach, you can also do activities, such as sunbathing, playing in the water, taking beach photos, and more.
No wonder Kuta Beach is a must-visit tourist destination when vacationing in Bali. So, what about you? Do you also love Kuta Beach? Well, besides Kuta Beach, Bali also has many new tourist attractions, which are equally beautiful and perfect for a vacation. Check out the list below!
On the hillside of Mount Batur, you will find Pinggan Village, a village with beautiful scenery. According to Detik, this village is often called the “Land Above the Clouds” because in the morning, it is always covered in thick fog. If you are interested in seeing the beautiful sunrise in Bali, Pinggan Village is the place to be. However, if you plan to go there, it is best to wear warm clothing because the temperature can drop to 16-18 degrees Celsius. The best time to visit is from 05.00-06.00 WITA to catch the sunrise. Try to avoid visiting during the rainy season as you will not be able to see the misty clouds.
In addition to enjoying the sunrise, you can also taste delicious dishes, such as stir-fried vegetables, chicken satay, fried noodles, fried rice, and others at restaurants along Kintamani Village. Or, you can relax at cafes with views of Mount Batur.
