One say its cheap place to visit, while other thinks it can be our honey-moon destination but Bali have more to show case and offer to us and let’s face it, lazing around on the beaches does make for a relaxing holiday. But there is more, a lot more, to this Indonesian island than just beautiful beaches. 
Here are some reason that Bali should be on your checklist and if you love Instagram one should go ahead and read.
Because getting clicked against the sunrise on the top of Mount Batur is worth the trek.
Yes you’re on a holiday for relaxation, fun and mountain trek sound great. But not when you’re trekking across Mount Batur to enjoy one of the best sunrises ever in your life.
Because the exotic wildlife is what your Instagram story is missing.
Three main wildlife attractions that should be on every Bali checklist are the Bali Safari and Marine Park, the Ubud Monkey Forest, and The Turtle Conservation and Education Centre.
Because these historical temples were made for modern Instagram feeds.
Yes who wants to visit temple while we are on holidays right but think of this Tanah Lot Temple is situated – atop a scenic rock formation situated in the middle of the sea does sound kind of fabulous.
Because the local market is where you find photo opportunities that tourists may ignore.
From the hipster ‘Love Anchor’ market at Canggu, to the traditional market of Ubud, Bali is a haven for shopaholics and travel enthusiasts. The Canggu market is a Sunday market and boasts of bars and shops serving the local flavour, and adorned by fairy lights. This is where you get those unique picturesque shots
that don’t need filters.
Because you will finally have pictures to prove that you are an ‘adventure junkie’.
Think underwater scooter, sea walks, canyon tubing, and of course, river rafting and snorkelling. Various beaches offer various activities so take a pick at what interests you the most. You can dive at Padang Bai to explore the sea life or treat yourself to wreck diving at Tulambem or even get your adventure fix with river rafting at Ayung River – Bali’s adventure sports don’t disappoint in any manner.
Because whether it is fine dining or street food, the dishes deserve to be captured before they are enjoyed.
There are fancy dinners and then there is dinner under the caves at the Samabe Bali Suites & Villas. A dedicated chef at a secret hideaway cave is a glorious way to bring together the modern and the historical.
Because you need to take camera shorts before you indulge in drinking some unique shots.
Kuta beach and Seminyak are famous for their nightlife, so be sure to spend a night at Kuta or a more unique experience would be to sample a drink at the Frankenstein’s Laboratory, at Seminyak. Feel like a gypsie at the La Laguna, or get immersed in the music at Bali’s top club, Sky Garden.
The best time to visit Bali is from April to September. A round trip from Delhi to Bali, booked a month in advance, costs approximately ₹25,000.
