North Bali

North Bali is the forgotten paradise of the island — a region that most tourists completely overlook, even though it hosts some of Bali's most spectacular natural wonders. While the crowds in the south fight over sunbeds and beach club spots, in the north, mighty waterfalls thunder through untouched jungle, temples reflect in serene mountain lakes, and dolphins dance at dawn off the coast of Lovina. The drive from South Bali to the north leads over the volcanic central massif, past rice terraces and clove plantations — and with every kilometer, prices, temperatures, and stress levels drop. North Bali feels like Bali 20 years ago.
