Lulled by the waves of Indian Ocean, Bali Indonesia is a part of Indonesian archipelago lying a few degrees south of Equator. The island of Bali dotted with pristine lakes, hilly regions covered with thick wood and palm fringed coastal areas is the jewel of Indonesian archipelago. Spreading over an area of 5, 632 square meters, the geography of Bali is dominated by a string of volcanoes stretched along the width of the island. Gunung Agung with a soaring height of 3000 meters is the highest of them and honored as the "Holy Mother" by Balinese people. The island measures only 140 kilometers long along the east west axis whereas the length of Bali is only 90 kilometers from north to south. Therefore, sightseeing in Bali can be completed within one or a few more days.
   Bordering on Sumatra in the East and Papua New Guinea in the South-east, Bali is a lush tropical haven.
