45 Bali Pictures That Will Make You Want To Travel Indonesia

by David & Intan

The readers of TripAdvisor recently named Bali, Indonesia as the greatest destination on Earth. That may be a bit of a stretch, but really, check out some of these Bali pictures!

This island fills a niche that few other places in Southeast Asia can compete with. The food is amazing, everything is affordable, the people are so friendly, and there’s lots to see and do.

Bali is a place you either love or hate. I love it. As you can see from some of these Bali photos, the island has beaches, volcanoes, temples, culture, and waterfalls galore.

Hopefully these Bali images inspire your own travels!
