BALI TRIP OF WONDERS 2018 IN COLLABORATION WITH MINISTRY OF TOURISM,INDONESIA




Hey there lovies,
Hope you guys are doing well.Sorry for being MIA for so long anyways I am back again sharing everything you need to know about beautiful BALI,

The year 2018 has been a year of discoveries and explorations for me .The best one being exploring the beautiful island of Bali and other scenic locations close-by. 
The day I received an Email from the Ministry of tourism,Republic of Indonesia I was ecstatic.It  was such a privilege to be chosen as one of the influencer to promote their blissful land.


We arrived in Bali on the 1st of July.Upon arrival,I got the tropical scent of the island,which was overwhelming and I could not wait to get on with our trip. 
We headed straight to the Prama Sanur Beach Resort
 which was monumentally beautiful with luxurious rooms,lush gardens,restaurant with a beautiful pool view and a direct access to the beach.Our accommodation was beyond comfortable and the menu was heavenly.

After a brief relaxation,we were taken to Jimbaran,for a dinner by the beach. The hospitality was commendable as a luxury bus was provided for us. Jimbaran is one of the most visited places in Bali as it provided a breathtaking view of the sunset,traditional balinese dance and many families were there to witness it. An array of seafood was served to us with welcome drinks and it was topped off with a string quartet with their mellifluous music. Maybe it was the aphrodisiacs that were served but at that point of time,I realized that i was falling in love with the sheer beauty of Jimbaran. 
After a memorable first day in the exotic island of Bali, we headed towards the ho.tel for a much needed rest.


 


The sunny morning of the second day had a lot in store for us as we kicked off the day with a hearty breakfast by the mesmerizing pool and then started towards the iconic Rice terrace field,Tegalalang featuring the famous Bali Swing. 


After a brief 30 min drive we arrived at our desired destination and I was awestruck by what stood in front of me. The greens made my heart soar and I got an expansive view of the lush greens once i tried the famous Bali swing.They charge around Idr 100,000(Rs.500) for 12rounds which is pretty cheap for the experience was surreal,it was like diving straight into the greenery and the heavenly air just topped off the entire experience.

After lunch, we drove towards the famous Bali Pulina Coffee Plantation and tasted various types of coffee. We also got an opportunity to see how the coffee was made. The aroma fuels up my nose to this day. We got an incredible opportunity to try the world's most expensive coffee procured from the ejected remains of the Indonesian Palm Civet. I am well aware of how it sounds but its aroma was beyond anything I had ever come across.

After an aromatic experience, we visited the famous monkey forest in Ubud where we spotted  the Balinese long tailed monkey. It was a vision to look at. We spotted many other kinds of monkeys too and it was so refreshing to see them in their natural habitat. We even went through the inscriptions there and gathered significant amount of knowledge on monkeys.

After an exciting day, we retired to our hotel and fell asleep after a heavy meal. 
We left for Lombok and Labuan Bajo the next day.
After returning from the locations of Labuan Bajo and Lombok,we checked into the Mercure Kuta Hotel in Bali where each one of us were gifted a portable charger from MI. The place being the hub of Bali had tourists from all over the world and was extremely lively. I loved the gentle sea breeze across my face and the tropical scented air of Bali. Since it was our final day, we went to the nearby Beachwalk Mall for shopping and like every other location in Bali, this particular mall too was a beauty with an open-concept design. After a little shopping we were taken for a farewell dinner at the Sardinia Restaurant which offered exquisite cuisine where all of us shared words in regards to the trip. 
We were given souvenirs to remember the trip but truth be told the experience itself was unforgettable.
