It has the reputation of a party place, so getting out of Kuta for the day will help you recharge the batteries and unwind. Otherwise you may need another holiday after your holiday. Here are a number of experiences within a few hours\u2019 drive of Kuta we think you will enjoy.\r\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit a <a name=\"Traditional_Village\">Traditional Village<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nOne of only three traditional Balinese villages left in Bali, Tenganan Pegringsingan on the east coast of the province is only an hour and ten minutes\u2019 drive from Kuta. Here you can see what life was life in Bali before tourism erupted. The community is fiercely traditional, adhering to ancient customs and strict martial practices \u2013 anyone wanting to marry outside the village must leave, so the community remains secluded. However, they do welcome visitors and enjoy showcasing their arts, crafts and ceremonies.\r\n\r\n \r<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn the Fine Art of <a name=\"Balinese_Cooking\">Balinese Cooking<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nIf you\u2019re as fond of cooking food as eating it, then why not take some time out to perfect the culinary delights of the country. Bumbu Bali Cooking School near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/484632\/nusa-dua\">Nusa Dua<\/a> offers lessons daily, in conjunction with a tour to Jimbaran Village Market to purchase fresh ingredients for the day.

It is possible to trek to the mouth of the volcano along two well-carved out routes, either with a tour group or self-guided. Many walkers prefer to do the ascent just before dawn to enjoy the sunrise and incredible views of Bali and over to neighbouring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/267679\/lombok-republic-of-indonesia\">Lombok<\/a> island.\r\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tour <a name=\"Besakih_Mother_Temple\">Besakih Mother Temple<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2MK3oGeNyEMciyIUYMAg4A\/b0f8ac03772762ee2fb3f47e09140a58\/Balinese_Temple.jpg\" alt=\"A typical Balinese-style temple\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nLocated on the slopes of Mount Agung, Besakih Mother Temple is regarded as the holiest temple in Bali. Climb the steps and meander through this vast complex of 23 temples with intricately carved stone gateways and tranquil courtyards. The largest and most central temple Pura Penataran Agung consists of six levels and is a great example of old Balinese architecture and a wonderful place to soak up the atmosphere of this most sacred space.\r \r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sail to <a name=\"Nusa_Lembongan\">Nusa Lembongan<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/1RVjqJ4erF56uH8yNgLqVg\/45de060d066e6609952f97a034d1cdc0\/photo-1539498508910-091b5e859b1d.jpg\" alt=\"Man swimming underwater over the coral reefs of the Maldives with fish and light filtering through the blue water\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nLeave the hustle and bustle of Kuta behind and board ship for the quiet island of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/595151\/mushroom-bay-beach\">Nusa Lembongan<\/a>, just off the southeast coast of Bali. Enjoy the day snorkelling in the beautiful clear waters abundant with sea life. Go scuba diving, examine the reefs through a semi-submersible or just lie back on the beach and enjoy a slower pace of life.

Leaving the beach and bright lights of Kuta behind \u2013 even for a day \u2013 will show you a different side to Bali, one that is more like the \u2018old\u2019 Bali. Soak it up, enjoy the ceremonies, history and culture before heading back for more fun in the sun.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out just how easy it can be to explore Bali, with these 7 easy day trips you can take from Kuta!
