🙅🏻‍♀️Where to AVOID (90%) tourist traps in Bali 🌚🌝

📍Location 1: Jatiluwih Rice Terraces 🌾

Jatiluwih, a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, spans over 600 hectares, making it Bali's largest rice terrace. The expansive paddy fields offer breathtaking views of uninterrupted greenery. Jatiluwih is a must-visit for those seeking to experience Bali's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

📍Location 2: Campuhan Ridge Walk 🏃🏻‍♀️

If you’re going to spend time in Ubud, you have to do the Campuhan Ridge Walk. It’s one of the most beautiful walks in Bali, and it’s truly spectacular in the late afternoon at sunset or in the early morning at sunrise.

📍Location 3: Bodyworks Spa 🧖‍♀️

THIS IS A TOURIST TRAP 😀 but the stunning Morocco-vibe interior design with pink walls, arched doorways, a sky blue pool and floating marigold flowers in the main hall makes it irresistible for those seeking an aesthetic place to visit. Note that big camera equipment is not allowed and while the services are fairly good, their massage packages are highly overpriced.

📸 Time of visit (as pic): Noon (very harsh sunlight 🌞), reservation recommended ✔️

📍Location 4: Tegallalang 🌾

The Tegalalang Rice Terraces are the most famous rice fields in Bali. The lush, green valley is stunning to look at, especially just as the sun rises over the valley in the morning. DO NOTE that this is one of the more touristy rice terraces on the island, so try your best to arrive before sunrise to AVOID unwanted crowds.

📍Location 5: Random marigold field 🌼

Marigolds are stunning bright yellow flowers that are grown in thousands in Bali. They play a very important part in the local economy and are always in high demand because Balinese people usually put them in their offerings and also for decorations. You may pass by these fields very often through most parts of Bali.

📍Location 6: Pinggan Sunrise View Pohon Cinta 🌄

Pinggan sunrise viewpoint offers amazing views of Mount Batur and Mount Agung. Located in Kintamani, the region of Bali's volcanoes, this spot is often overlooked but absolutely worth a visit, especially for photo-taking lovers.

📸 Time of visit (as pic): Before sunrise 🌅

📸 Location 7: Kuta Beach ⛱️

We stayed at The Kuta Beach Heritage Hotel Bali, which our room offered the most stunning direct view of the sunset. If not, taking a stroll along Kuta beach would also offer you the most serene and peaceful sunset scenery 🌅

📸 Time of visit (as pic): Before sunset 🌆

📍Location 8: Rock Bar🍸

This is QUITE another tourist trap, but for the surreal sunset view, it is worth a visit at least once. Reservation is required and you may come slightly earlier to secure a good spot for sunset, even though the sun may burn you for a while ☀️🕶️Food and drinks are good but pricey 🍹and no big camera equipment is allowed 🙅🏻‍♀️
