Location

Continent or Region: South East Asia

Country or State/County: Indonesia


WHERE IS BALI?
The island of Bali is part of the Republic of Indonesia and is located 8 to 9 degrees south of the equator between Java in the West and Lombok and the rest of the Lesser Sunda Islands (Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and Timor) in the East. Flying time to Jakarta is about 1.5 hours, to Singapore and Perth (Australia) 2.5 and 3 hours, to Hong Kong about 4.5 hours, and to Sydney/Melbourne about 5.5 to 6 hours.

GEOGRAPHY
The island of Bali has an area of only 5,632 square kilometers (2,175 square miles) and measures just 55 miles (90 kilometers) along the north-south axis and less than about 90 miles (140 kilometers) from East to West. Because of this it's no problem to explore the island on day tours. You can go wherever you want on the island and return to your hotel or villa in the evening.
Located only two kilometers east of Jawa, Bali's climate, flora and fauna are quite similar to its much larger neighbour. The island is famous for its beautiful landscape. A chain of six volcanoes, between 1,350 meters and 3,014 meters high, stretches from west to east. There are lush tropical forests, pristine crater lakes, fast flowing rivers and deep ravines, picturesque rice terraces, and fertile vegetable and fruit gardens. The beaches in the South consist of white sand, beaches in other parts of the island are covered with gray or black volcanic sand.

FLORA
The wide variety of tropical plants is surprising. You'll see huge banyan trees in villages and temple grounds, tamarind trees in the North, clove trees in the highlands, acacia trees, flame trees, and mangroves in the South. In Bali grow a dozen species of coconut palms and even more varieties of bamboo.
And there are flowers, flowers everywhere. You'll see (and smell the fragrance of) hibiscus, bougainvillea, jasmine, and water lilies. Magnolia, frangipani, and a variety of orchids are found in many front yards and gardens, along roads, and in temple grounds. Flowers are also used as decorations in temples, on statues, as offerings for the gods, and during prayers. Dancers wear blossoms in their crowns, and even the flower behind the ear of your waitress seems natural in Bali.

FAUNA
Elephants and tigers don't exist any more in Bali since early this century. Wildlife, however, includes various species of monkeys, civets, barking deer and mouse deer, and 300 species of birds including wild fowl, dollar birds, blue kingfishers, sea eagles, sandpipers, white herons and egrets, cuckoos, wood swallows, sparrows, and starlings. You can watch schools of dolphins near Lovina, Candi Dasa, and Padangbai. Divers will see many colorful coral fish and small reef fish, moray eels, and plankton eating whale sharks as well as crustaceans, sponges, and colorful coral along the east coast and around Menjangan Island near Gilimanuk.

CLIMATE
You can expect pleasant day temperatures between 20 to 33 degrees Celsius or 68 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. From December to March, the West monsoon can bring heavy showers and high humidity, but usually days are sunny and the rains start during the night and pass quickly. From June to September the humidity is low, and it can be quite cool in the evenings. During this time of the year, you'll have hardly any rain in the coastal areas.
Even when it rains in most parts of Bali you can often enjoy sunny days on the "Bukit", the hill south of Jimbaran Beach. On the other hand, in Ubud and the mountains you must expect cloudy skies and showers throughout the year (this is why the international weather reports for "Denpasar" or "Bali" mention showers and rain storms during all times of the year). In higher regions such as in Bedugul or Kintamani you'll also need either a sweater or jacket after the sun sets.

POPULATION
Bali's population has grown to over 3 million people the overwhelming majority of which are Hindus. However, the number of Muslims is steadily increasing through immigration of people from Java, Lombok and other areas of Indonesia wh

The following guide will lead the tour

Anika Schwenker

German born and raised, Anika who speaks 4 languages fluently, studied graphic design in France from where she moved on to Bali in 1989 to build up her fashion export company with her husband. After 15 of successful yet stressful years in this short living industry, Anika rediscovered her passion for the outdoors, sports and team spirit when she completed her first Racing triathlon on a family visit in Europe on a Dutch bike with a basket in the front in 2003...She has since been developing the idea of this fun and a little mad fitness retreat, redefining it with each new experience and her genuine passion for the island of Bali.
In 2006 she completed her first Olympic distance triathlon (the first ever in Bali), much better prepared and equipped this time...

Marjan , London November 2008

I've been on may activity/health/adventure holidays around the world,... and my stay with bali elements has been one of the most enjoyed.
Not only was it very well organized, but brought together a perfect variety of physical and mental exercises by introducing all the beautiful 'elements' of this island. It provided a non touristy experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a holiday with the right balance of exercise, adventure and spiritual relaxation and enlightenment.

Susan, Australia November 2008

bali elements was just what I needed and fulfilled on what was described on your website. It was challenging - but fun and introduced me to the idea that exercise can be leisure and fun and not just fitness. It's been like hanging out with friends - easy, relaxed and supportive. I have learnt a lot and had a great time. Thank you

The Bali Elements course is ecofriendly because it causes minimal impact to the environment and local people.

In designing the holiday and the activities we have made a special commitment to consider all aspects of environmental and socio-cultural issues.
We are working as much as possible with the local community, restrict the number of participants numbers and work hand in hand with conservation projects in Bali.
