Bali gay sauna

This situation is due to the fact that while other Indonesian islands have a predominantly Muslim population, the Balinese have a completely unique culture with its roots in Hinduism and animism.

Gay travelers should know that Bali is very safe and one of the friendliest and most welcoming destinations we have ever visited.

By now everything is very organized: you pay a ticket and get in line waiting to be called for the photograph (which is done by giving your phone to a gentleman who takes photographs all day, equipped with a mirror to create the illusory game of the water). Homosexuality has never been a sin here and it remains legal throughout Indonesia, except in the ultra-conservative province of Aceh and the islands of Sumatra.

While homosexuality is legal in most of the country, there are still political tensions and revisions to the country's penal code that could potentially criminalize same-sex relationships are currently under consideration.

Ulun Danu Temple is one of our favorites and another of the most beautiful places of interest to visit in Bali. During this festival, the Balinese clean and decorate their metal objects and religious ceremonies are held to honor the gods and goddesses who protect these objects.

Top 5 BALI SWINGS in the JUNGLE

One of the most popular swings.

It stands out for its perfect location to watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean. This is one of the less visited areas of Gunung Kawi, but one of the most amazing and beautiful. The walk takes between 2 and 3 hours. Surrounded by palm plantations, it is dedicated to the god of fire and many offering ceremonies are held here.

In the temples, offerings are made and religious ceremonies are held.

Tumpek Landep is a festival where metal objects such as knives, cars and tools are honored. It is built on a spring of sacred waters which, according to Hindu tradition, have healing properties for those who bathe in them. It is distinguished by the large entrance staircase and the details of its stone sculptures.

Tirta Gangga, although not a temple but a royal palace, cannot fail to be included in the list of unmissable visits in Bali.

Each temple has its own odala and the Balinese celebrate this festival with religious ceremonies, dances and food.

Pagerwesi is a festival honoring the protective force of Sang Hyang Pramesti Guru, the supreme deity. Enjoy a range of activities, including land and water sports, archery and yoga. On the way you must avoid stepping on the rice fields and only cross the marked areas.

THE BEST THINGS TO SEE in BALI

Our favorite corner of the Isle of Gods and the place we chose to stay during our trip to Bali.

Don't miss the opportunity to try your hand at surfing at one of the many Balinese beaches.

Galungan is a festival held every 210 days, honoring Balinese ancestors and creator god Sang Hyang Widi. These three small paradise islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air), are the perfect destination to enjoy sunsets, beaches and snorkelling in one of the best seabeds in the world.

The island of Bali, with hundreds of kilometers of coastline, has many beaches of fine sand and turquoise waters, perhaps not as paradisiacal as the ones we usually see in travel catalogues, but interesting enough to consider one or more visits.

Another of the must-see rice paddies in Ubud is the Campuhan Ridge Walk. Of the routes you can choose around Ubud to see the rice fields, our first option is the Sabak Juwuk Manis Trail. On the same day you can combine the Jatiluwih rice fields with a visit to the Batukaru temple, they are a few kilometers away and the road that separates them is full of rice fields and vegetation.

Located around Gunung Kawi, one of Bali's must-see temples, these plantations are one of the most beautiful rice terraces in Bali.

Its most important temple is the Penataran Agung, built on 7 levels of terraces representing the layers of the universe, where only the followers of this religion can climb its grand staircase.

To conclude the trip in the best way, we recommend taking an excursion to the Gili Islands, about 2 hours by speed boat from the port of Serangan in Bali.

This temple is located on the way to Tanah Lot temple.

Gunung Kawi, surrounded by beautiful rice fields, lush greenery and a river with a small waterfall, is one of the most beautiful temples in Bali.
