We came to Kelingking beach for the sunset but there’s this lovely spot for couples to take stupid photos and of course we fell prey.

travelers stories about Headland in Nusa Penida, Indonesia

Headland in Nusa Penida, Indonesia

Can anyone spot the cabin on the cliff? Hell of a place to build a house! This photo is taken from a small cliffside near Ramuh Pohon treehouse. Woke up at 4am to do the 1 hour drive across Nusa Penida to catch the sun rise. This is the view of Atuh Beach from above. We keep seeing photos of a naked cliff even though there are definitely guard rails. Not sure if it’s photoshop or it’s a slightly different cliffside a few dozen meters away. If there is such a spot, we missed it. If you go and find it, let us know!

Away from the hustle and bustle is Bali's exotic coast of Nusa Penida, where the waves crash wildly. Exploring this side of her is so breathtaking.

travelers stories about Shore in Nusa Penida, Indonesia

Shore in Nusa Penida, Indonesia

We woke up at 4am to drive for over an hour in the dark (we had a driver, so actually we just sat in the back falling asleep). The roads of Nusa Penida are very bumpy and we knocked our heads and bruised our bums a bit on the ride as we went clear across the island from the west coast to the east coast. Made it in time though.

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach, waiting for a gift from the sea. Read Bali travelogue here: https://www.roadtripwithraj.com/on-the-road/2018/9/21/when-the-world-has-broken-me-down-bali-sets-me-free

It’s a marvelous thing, the ocean. For some reason when two people sit together looking out at it, they stop caring whether they talk or stay silent. You get rid tired of watching it. And no matter how rough the waves get, you’re never bothered by the noise the water makes by the commotion of the surface - it never seems too loud, or too wild. More of Bali Travelogue?

When you show up to Nusa Penida during rainy season, the good thing is that there are fewer people. You might get wet a few times, but the cloudy weather gives a totally different feel to the island for some rare shots.

travelers stories about Bay in Blue Lagoon, Indonesia

Bay in Blue Lagoon, Indonesia

  11 km from Penida Island


We spent the whole day walking around this island - cliff jumping, drone flying, swimming. I went for a swim in that tiny blue pool you can see as well. Just around the point is the Blue Lagoon where I jumped off a 13m cliff - my highest jump yet. I was also able to film a pod of dolphins after snapping this photo. Bali is an incredible destination once you get out of the touristy areas.

Very lucky to have an awesome sunset. It’s actually a sunset viewed from the east cost of Bali, and it colored the sky differently since it was dipping below the opposite horizon. We’re still newbie photographers so maybe this is normal, but we had never seen colors like this.

  36 km from Penida Island


According to a 2018 McKinsey report, China boasts 114 of the world’s 147 female, self-made billionaires (America has 14). And almost 50% more women hold professional or technical jobs for every 100 men in the Philippines. Asia is one of the most progressive regions for women, yet stereotypes of what Asian women are like and look like persist. BBH Singapore’s ‘See Different’ collection of images seeks to change that by showing the true diversity and personality of women across the Asian region. Photo by @jack_sutcliffe on Instagram.

My girlfriend and I was looking for some cool photo on the edge of Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia. After searching and Googling, finally we found this incredible. We arrived at the Bali Mangrove forest at 5.00pm, it was such a great moment to take golden sunset on the tower in this mangrove forest. The photo makes me feel relaxed.

travelers stories about Wildlife in Petulu, Indonesia

Wildlife in Petulu, Indonesia

  39 km from Penida Island


Every evening, the skies above the village of Petulu in central Bali fill with Little Egrets, Cattle Egrets, and Javan Pond Herons as they arrive to roost overnight. Their numbers have been estimated to total 20,000. The Balinese believe that the birds are the spirits of the survivors of a massacre in 1965. That year, the villagers in Petulu took action to rid the village of negative energy by holding a ceremonial cleansing ceremony; a week later, the herons called “Kokokan” arrived for the first time ever and have rested there ever since.

My girlfriend and I went to visit the iconic ‘Monkey Forest’ in Bali. When we arrived it was mayhem and chaos of monkeys running around, asking for attention and food. But in the middle of all the energy there was 1 monkey lying on a bench, playing and investigating a leaf. This is 4 of 4 shots where you can see how this little one investigates this leaf like he has never seen something like it before!

Camping in Ubud, Indonesia

This is the sacred Sanghyang Djaran. A classical Balinese performance, told through fire and trance dance. The barefoot horse man moves around and through a bonfire made from coconut husks, kicking and dancing in a state of trance. I was excited to travel to Indonesia to explore it’s abundant greenery and beautiful environments… I never knew I’d stumble across something this magical.
