‘Om Swastyastu’
Welcome to our beloved Bali. The countdown to the turn of the year is near and so comes the holiday season. But regardless of the seasons, we believe it's always holiday time on this island.
This time we set off to the summits of the archipelago, dotted with volcanoes that form the 'Ring of Fire'. Take the journey through this month's Focus Feature as we also present you with some interesting facts surrounding this unique part of the globe, as well as some cultural significance about mountains.
Alternatively, flip through this month's Action & Attraction for an adventure up the island's premier Mount Agung, and experience the challenge of a midnight climb with breathtaking views.
In Beyond Bali we take you on a passage across to neighboring island Java, through the Bromo range, shrouded in legends and myths that the local inhabitants have lived with since the dawn of time. Harmonious, this remnant of the old Majapahit kingdom lives in high regard for their 'high' heritage.
Back on this island, Craft & Culture presents you with the major Balinese Hindu celebration of Galungan, coming around this month, promising memorable and colorful sights throughout the island.
Chockfull of other interesting articles and information, we believe you will enjoy this edition, as well as your journeys. Don't forget to grab another complimentary monthly copy of Bali & Beyond on your next visit.
