In reply to Gina. Gina, we did climb Mt. Batur before diving and I believe we had about 3-4 days in-between. It wasn't an issue at all. As long as you don't try and do the two activities back to back you should be OK. Enjoy your trip!

Hi! Thanks for the tips 🙂
I am currently planning a trip to Bali with a friend, and we are hoping to climb Mt Batur and also go diving!
Did you climb Mt Batur before diving? How many days break in between each activity?

Hope to hear from you soon! 🙂

Thanks!

Tanah lot first around 1999 looks nothing like that, you can fine road connecting it to the edge of the temple land, all might have been destroyed because of the big waves are always a hit

@Anna: Thanks for all the terrific Bali travel suggestions and perspective. Your comment about staying in the rice fields seems spot on — a beautiful space, but motorbikes are the choice transportation to get around everywhere.

Glad to hear that you know of and can recommend Senang Hati. As for stray dogs, their plight is a universal one. Glad to hear there’s an organization on Bali helping to manage the situation.

Bali will always have a place in my heart. I can recommend to rent a house out in the rice fields outside Ubud if you like to have it a bit more quiet. That is the only disadvantage, that it is very noisy with all the motorbikes.

To discover in more depth I absolutely recommend to visit and learn from organisations like Senang Hati, I visited them some years ago as a friend of mine worked there, and it was great! They had a wonderful art exhibition on the coast that year, excellent artists!
I also recommend to support an organisation like BAWA – Bali Animal Welfare Association – who do a terrific work for all the street dogs that not have an easy life. I support them myself with my newly launched eBook “The Dogs in Bali.”

I hope you enjoy your time in lovely Bali!

@Simon: That’s the great thing about Bali – you can do as little or as much as you’d like. Lots of options out there, but it’s also possible to just chill at the beach or in Ubud by the rice fields. Enjoy your trip!
