Northern Bali
Although the South may be the most popular - don't go to Bali without exploring the North! There are so many hidden gems to discover.
Seriously, why is the South of Bali so popular?
Okay, the beaches and the bars and the clubs and the instant access to a cosmopolitan cocktail, but if you're done with the drinks and would like a more authentic taste of Bali, hop on a bike and head up north!
There are so many epic places to explore, from Lovina Beach and Munduk Village to Lake Tamblingan (The Twin Lakes). You'll get a break from the locals trying to sell you beers and sunbeds, and instead receive sincere smiles and open arms of locals simply wanting to welcome you to their village. No sunbeds in sight!
Seriously, go exploring! North of Bali, goooood. South of Bali, crowded.
