Uncosmeticised BeautyOm Swastiatu….. may God bless you all! Welcome to the island of adven-ture.Bali’s legendary tradition, ever smiling people, as well as its surging adventur-ous natural attraction have been there for thousands of years, and will hope-fully still be there for another 1,000 years. However, what most of you see from behind shuttle bus or limousine car windows are those cosmeticised attractions, for the sake of tourism. To discover its true color and raw beauty, you would need to jump out of your comfortable seat, air-conditioned vehicles, and grab your sporting shoes and start to go further and further be-hind the cosmetic perimeter. Indeed, if you’re not ready enough for such an arduous exploration, Bali’s vast array of adventure companies are more than ready to take you to island innermost beauty. You simply need to pick up your phone and someone outside there is prepared to take you to the middle of ocean and its under-water wonder, top of 10,000 ft(3,141 meter) volcano, terraced rice field, deep in the splendid river gorge, mag-nificent natural pool inside rainforest. The list goes on and on. Ride your ATV, buggy, rubber raft, endure trail machine, pedal-pushing bike and there you go to the innermost part of the island of the god where only the brave and the bold could ever see.

Mind you, Bali was from the beginning discovered by a group of adventurists. Balinese Hindus traveled to the island from the neighboring island of Java to discover the perfect hideaway to keep their Hindu tradition thrive. The fact that this tiny island was covered by a thick rain forest and surrounded from north to south and west to east by a chain of shallow reef, which later generation of travel-ers instead employ it to promote the booming surfing industry, proves that only the brave would made their way through. The clever Dutch government, which had occupied Jakarta since as early as 1596, failed to advance their hegemony on Bali until a bloody pu-putan suicide war 300 years later took place in Denpasar. Even British popu-lar governor general for the East In-dies, Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles, was uneasy to capture the island for this natural underwater trap during his 5 year stint in Jakarta in the beginning of the 19 century. Only 30 years later a courageous Danish journeyman, Mads Johansen Lange aka King of Bali, thrived in his gambling to conquer the island. Indeed he was rewarded with million of guilders from a successful trading point here in Kuta and ever since known among European traders as the king of the island, for his witty and smart approach made him as if all rajahs of Bali were behind him. Mads was certainly the one that opened the treacherous gate for the

wave of European travelers to dis-cover the fascinating island, ever since more and more white people were at-tracted to this raw beauty. So, enjoy your time on Bali and take various outdoors adventure the island’s vast array of attraction and explore how gorgeous and hand-some the uncosmeticised island look to be. Something you should tell your friends and neighbors as you arrive back home.

Om shanti-shanti-shanti om… May peace be upon us all!

Paradise Discover-enjoyed

Most by Adventurers

The vast, successive chain of shal-low reef surrounding the island of Bali coupled with the island massive rain-forest along with its wild occupants plus a stretch of mountainous peaks from the very west to the east have for hundreds of years kept the island virgin, escaped from foreign invad-ers. The second generations of brave invaders, these are the Balinese Hindu today (the first are Bali Aga communi-ties who live hitherto in the mountain side of Mt Batur and Eastern Bali vil-lages of Tenganan Pegringsingan), who first arrived on the island some 1,000 years ago from neighboring is-land of Java, must have skillfully mud-

dled through these natural barrier un-til successfully occupy the island. Perhaps the divine force to safe-guard their religion and tradition from the wave of Moslem and Christian mis-sionaries seemed to have bolstered their spirit and provide extra energy for them to discover a safe haven. Thus, only the brave and the bold could ever land on Bali. Indeed their ultimate effort paid off. Once they settled on the new haven, no foreign influence would ever able to discover these naturally heavily-fortified island.No wonder Bali remain the sole Hindu island amid the spread of other reli-gious across Southeast Asia. In word

of an Australian professor, Bali is the sole Hindu land in the sea of Islam, the living museum of Hindu Java. Even the strong and clever seafar-ing Dutch, who managed to occupy the whole archipelagic islands of to-day Indonesia since the beginning of the 17 century until the next 350 years, failed to capture Bali until 1906. Their combined force of military and po-litical tacticians as well as Evangelical missionaries never able to successfully set their hegemony on the island. The first European to be able to set their feet on the island was sur-prisingly a young Danish seafarer who was rigorously trained with the harsh, kilometer deep Lombok Straits, in es-

tablishing a contact between the two islands. Nevertheless, Mads lost his two younger brothers in his effort, one of them died virtually in from of his plain sight as his boat was capsizes near today Benoa Harbour. Mads Johansen Lange, nicknamed King of Bali (September 18, 1807, Rud-købing– May 13, 1856, Kuta) for his successful endeavor in establishing a multi million guilders business on the difficult island of Bali, was indeed a true adventurer. He knew how to deal not only with the harsh Kuta waves and dangerous current, but also with

local traders, law and tradition, and especially behaved ‘correctly’ before the all powerful Bali’s kings. For his effort, he was awarded knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion and recipient of the Danish gold medal of achievement. Mads helped craft the way for the eventually successful yet costly Dutch invasion to Denpasar in 1906. Exactly one hundred years later Bali’s rough wave was re-mastered by a seafarer, this time is a Califor-nian born surfer-business couple Bob Koke. The couple successfully own a

piece of Kuta and established a ‘hotel’ they christened it a Kuta Beach Hotel. Unfortunately the Japanese invasion of Asia left the couple in drought. Surf-ing business was halted until a group of hippies traveling between Califor-nia, Hawai and Australia in search for waves rediscovered this harsh shallow reef but without which no amazing swell could ever been produced. It was these group of brave men and women who venture to the most remote part of Bali to discover the many surf spots, staying outdoors for days and nights to learn the tide chart, mapping when and where is the best to craft the wave. Thus, today’s travelers to Bali owe most of the regards to these heroes. It’s a sinful gesture not to continue their outdoors exploration, since they have created the path for the next, current generations to enjoy.

Bali has many choices for those who want to go and explore the island. Some very professional companies of-fer trekking, cycling, water rafting, 4-wheel adventures and ATV or buggy driving. To know to pick the best suppli-ers it is best suggested that one reads peoples comments on Bali Forums. It’s also there that you can read comments about one of Bali’s new-est ways to explore a beautiful and un touched part of the island; The Bali Canyon Tubing Adventure. This adven-ture offers much more than just a tube in which you can float down a canyon. The Canyon tubing Adventure is part of the Bali Quad Discovery Tours and the owners have done all efforts to make this tour stand out in all aspects. When you arrive at the starting point in Payangan and after a welcome

drink and briefing you directly start with the adventure by getting into a land rover off road car. This car drives you all the way to the Canyon and after a short descend you enter a completely different world down in the canyon. Welcomed by a waterfall with crystal clear spring water you walk down the specially made wooden platform from where you will start with the actual tub-ing. The tubes are actually small boats, suitable for max. 1 adult and 1 child. Once you are in the tube you don’t have to do anything, just lay back and relax. This place is so far from civilization that flora and fauna are both impressive. Big chance that you spot a rare species of bird or even some monkeys. For those who know something about plants it is time to discover. At some point you

will reach a Flying Fox. From the top of a huge waterfall you can choose to zip down the canyon on a rope and pump up your adrenaline. No worries if you find this too exciting, because you can also use stairs instead. The tour continues through an In-diana Jones like area complete with hanging bridges, wooden platforms and water falls and water drops, un-til finally you reach the ending point. Even there the adventure has not fin-ished yet; some atvs will drive you back to the main road, from where your way back continues with an off road car un-til the ending point. No walking at all after this trip, which is nice surprise be-cause being in the open air makes you hungry and tired. Hot showers are pro-vided in the ending point and after that it is time to enjoy the hot lunch buffet. I wish I could go again tomorrow, but my flight is not waiting. What a day!

Bali Adventure Tours rafting trip has

now been starting from its new, fur-

ther to the north upstream location.

The new site offers not only a more

dramatic, canyon like view of the nar-

rower gorge, but also much more

challenging maneuvers across faster

gushing water. The facilities is now

equipped with fully computerized

reception centre, fast walk-through

equipment outfitting and easy access

to the river via safe, engineered steps,

complete with hand rails and scenic

viewing platforms.

Despite the more challenging ap-

peals down the stream, rafting along

this river is safe for a family group,

from 5 to 75 years old. This due to the

company to only employ profession-

ally trained and experienced guides

with safety-equipped Avon rafts.

These new challenge are part of

the reason now BAT, the pioneer of

Bali white water rafting industry back

since 1989, is introducing a slightly

shorter rubber rafts. According to

Nigel Mason, founder and director

of the rafting company, the shorter

rubber boat allows easier maneuvers

across the virgin location.

“Before introducing this new start-

ing point, my son and I had for few

times tried body-rafting exactly from

the point of start up to our current

finish point, wearing only helmet, life-

vest and paddle stick

“This is to make sure that despite

the more demanding route, the trip is

safe for our all of us, even the junior

member of a family,” Nigel said.

The company is currently developing

their finish point into a combined fa-

cility of restaurant and spa. “Modern

travelers demand more rejuvenating

facilities after they undertake an awe-

some yet demanding adventure trip,”

Sally Febiola, Bali Adventure Tours

spokesperson said.

The rafting trip is now covering an

8-km distance of class II and III rapids

set to a backdrop of wild unspoiled

rainforest, towering gorges and mag-

nificent rice paddy terraces in approxi-

mately 1.5 hour journey.

Feeling the Saharan and Arabic sensation while on Bali south? The un-precedented stretch of white sandy beach of Nikko Hotel south of Nusa Dua area is a place to be. A camel ride along its pristine beach will certainly will remind you of the dry Moroccan desert. The difference? The Saharan des-ert drags you to endless dry sand view and gushing, dusty wind, the south Bali pristine shoreline otherwise com-bines the endless white sandy beach with crystal clear blue water of the massive Indian Ocean, along with its thrilling breeze of the cool, southern

salty wind.

Experience is not needed as this

calm animals behave more like your

family pet rather than a desert beast.

The trip is operated under the super-

vision of the five-star resort and thus

is guaranteed to professionally orga-

nized to cater even the soberest trav-

elers. Being run by a resort, the trip

could be combined with lunch, dinner,

spa treatment and other related wa-

ter sports such as parasailing, banana

boat, and glass-bottom boating to the

nearby turtle island.

A 1-hour safari ride costs $35 and

$20 for adults and children respec-

tively. In recent years the safari ride

has attracted various kind of inter-

est, including modeling and advertis-

ing agencies, bride and groom to be.

Some ideas Bali could add to the long

list of its outdoor lure.

Staying at luxury hotels doesn’t

mean you are handcuffed within all

the luxury surroundings. At Anantara

Seminyak, for example, guests are en-

couraged to experience the real out-

door activities of Balinese daily life. The

exclusive shoreline hideaway opens

a gateway to the country’s timeless

heritage, including a staple experience,

dy life with a rice plantation discovery

package.

Balanced by a focus on indigenous

exploration, resort activities include

Balinese dance and cooking classes,

while a broad range of captivating area

excursions connect guests to Bali’s cul-

tural heartland, age-old way of life and

tropical scenery, a blend which is en-

capsulated in the resort’s attractive rice

plantation journey.

A staple of Bali’s nationwide culi-

nary heritage, rice production remains

a principal livelihood for many, ensur-

ing that luscious green paddies are a

familiar sight and rice accompanies

almost every local meal. Less familiar

to many visitors of this exotically entic-

ing land, is the history and lifestyle of

locals working in the fields and the pro-

duction from seed to flourishing crop

to plate. At Anantara Seminyak Resort

& Spa, guests are treated to an experi-

ence that takes them on a fascinating

journey one hour from the shoreline re-

treat to the naturally beautiful Balinese

village of Umabian in Marga Tabanan

to discover all this, and more.

The package, priced Rp 600,000

per person, is led by an English speak-

ing, highly knowledgeable local guide

who explains each fascinating stage,

and shows crops at various phases of

growth. Throughout the hours each

guest learns about the bolt system

planting method, the spacing and

number of plants per hole, how long a

seed takes to become fully grown and

how the rice grains are gathered. They

also mingle with the local farmers,

watching locals in action carefully go-

ing about their daily rituals and soak up

idyllic surrounds, leaving with a wealth

of understanding that will nourish your

next rice dish with unforgettable mean-

ing.

Ain’t Train for Underwater Walkin’

To qualify as licensed scuba div-er, one must undergo a set of rigorous tests and trainings under a strict rule regulated by the international scuba diver standard code of safety. Even an Olympic qualified swimmer would require roughly six hours for such. This meticulous regimes are needed so that one would not only survive but is capable of calmly handling any emergency situation such as sudden strong underwater current, visibility or orientation lost, jellyfish attack, ox-ygen depletion, diving gear failure or panicking before shark or deep drop encounter. Another aspect is not only how to dive safely, but more importantly not to bring damage to the underwater living, including soft and hard coral. The result is nevertheless amazing. Rarely a licensed diver suffer serious injury, despite such an extreme realm, including tons of pressure the body is resisting under over 100ft/33 meters below the surface, as the surround-ing water squeezes one’s lungs, three times as much as normal atmospheric pressure at sea level does. However, for those who are too nervous or lazy to follow such a de-manding course, a readily form of underwater excursion is available,

requiring no basic practice, not even the ability to swim, at all. True, if you could walk normally on the ground, with such a simple and easy to wear equipment, you could do so effort-lessly few meters under the surface. Nevertheless, experiencing a negative weight of your body underwater is fantastic, and encountering the many thousands colorful tropical fish and coral are just amazing. You don’t even need to learn the aspect of equalizing, that is adapting your eardrum resisting ability to the different pressure because of differ-ent depth, one of the most scaring things when you learn scuba dive. What more to ask? You may even wear your negative or positive spectacles, something definitely impossible with the normal diving mask. And if you wish, you may keep your hair and face completely dry, for the robotic, over-sized alien-like helmet do the simple work very well. It con-tinuously supplies fresh oxygen at a constant pressure that it keeps water surface inside the helmet just beneath your chin.

Coral Plantation Aware that such a popular tour-ist attraction could potentially harm coral and other underwater creatures, seawalk operators agree only to take their clients to certain route where they should walk on the sand bot-tomed surface, instead of coral.Nonetheless, the Club Aqua in Sanur who pioneered the attraction eleven years ago goes even further by pro-moting a massive coral plantation across the area. So, instead of dam-aging the environment, the company help promote a coral propagation project. Uniquely, every guest have a chance to participate in this good cause, bay adopting baby coral which they may transplant themselves, and re-visit again in the their next visit. Such is how business should be, that is keeping the land cleaner and greener, and the water bluer.

On Bali, what most travelers see from behind shuttle bus or limousine car windows are rather cosmeticised attractions. To discover its true bold and raw beauty, you would need to jump out of your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles and grab your sporting gears and start to go further and further behind its cosmetic perim-eters. But how would you discover such a beauty without sacrificing so much of your physical endurance and ener-gy? The answer is all terrain vehicles, otherwise known as ATV or quad. This open wheeler machine is capable of taking you to some of the innermost beauty where even the smallest four-wheel drive jeep or land rover engines would be too big to go through. Where else to find such raw beauty except to the island’s off-the-beaten tracks deep up in the mountainous

shoulders of central Bali? Bali legend-ary farming tradition is based on their age-old rice-cultivating practice, a skill passed down from one generation to another for over a millennium long episode. The highland of central Bali within the district of Tabanan holds its respect for being the super producer of the Indonesian staple food. This farming-based villages along with their vast, multi thousand hect-ares of rice field and cocoa plantation plus its unique subak irrigation system not only allows visitors to learn from a close look how their farming tradition flourishes from one generation to an-other, but also offers a fantastic, fresh atmosphere of adventure tour craft-ing the terraced land across various off-the-beaten track back roads and waterways. See Bali Adventures in Tengkudak Village in the sub-district of Penebel in

Tabanan offer even more than just this fantastic trip. They combine it with a hands on village tour where travelers are encouraged to learn the daily life of villagers, including planting the sta-ple, cooking daily food, mingling with the family members and especially study how to make a piece of offering. “Also among our highlight is a visit to local elementary school to ex-change view with students. This way, our guests enjoy and extra experience while the students get a good impres-sion of the true enviro-culture friendly tourism,” said Si Putu, founder and managing director of See Bali Adven-ture. The first chapter of the adventure is exploring a 6-hectare (15 acre) of terraced cocoa plantation situated within the boundaries of Tengkudak Village. After you have accustomed yourself to the powerful off-road ma-chine you will be guided on a magnifi-cent journey across back road of wind-ing waterways to a narrow 2 kilometer track amid the rice fields, leading to a village that is home to just 80 families, nestled right in the middle of this agri-cultural area. “This village is inaccessible by the road. The only link to the outside world is a network of canals and foot-paths crisscrossing the endless spread of green crops,” said Warrie S Rahard-jo, the company’s spokesperson. At the end of this awesome trip, a refreshment and buffet lunch or din-ner is prepared hot at the typically outdoor restaurant nearby the cocoa plantation overlooking vast ricefield.

History in the Making “My grandma always says ‘you’ve got to live a life for a history. A history worth writing by your generation’,” recalls Putu Gde Kerta Dyanaputra, otherwise known as Si Putu (reads see putu, meaning that special Putu), founder and managing director of See Bali Adventure.

several people who encourage me instead to develop own business,” he says. The next chapter was a history. In 1998, amid the Asian financial crisis, Si Putu and a handful of his business col-leagues started something that soon to be a booming tourist attraction. “To be very-very frank, you will make more business if you make it in downtown southern Bali where clients are readily awaiting. But as a village boy, we have to think how to build our own home village, otherwise tourism would not spread to other part than Kuta, Nusa Dua and Sanur.“We are dedicated to develop a na-ture based tourism attraction be-yond these developed tourism hubs of Southern Bali. This will generate a new type of attraction, allowing lo-cal villagers to enjoy a portion of the cake, preventing a mass migration of villagers,” Si Putu said. Indeed the new chapter of Putu’s history was written down in October 2001 then he was selected as the sole

winner of the Indonesian presidential award for young entrepreneurship in tourism. The annual accolade is pre-sented every October to award young business persons in their respective areas. It coincides the country histori-cal event on 28 October 1928 when a group of young men and women pledge to fight for the Indonesian In-dependence, against the stern rules of the Dutch anti-independence move-ment . Si Putu’s next chapter of history is to bring another version of adventure tour to the surrounding villages. “We are preparing to launch our enduro-trail bike adventure. It happens that Kawasaki is hot selling the light-weight 150cc enduro trail bike. So hopefully by early next year we will see the at-traction taking into action,” he said.

Tabanan, a regency in the middle of Bali, has for the past hundreds of years proudly held it position as the rice bowl of the island due to its fer-tile land, abundant water resources, and superior farming management and therefore produces affluent rice, so much that it is capable of provid-ing other neighboring land which is not blessed with similar fate with the staple food. While rice, the symbol of

the island prosperity, is the regency’s important invention, farming-related products are actually of the similar highly developed quality and quantity. Coffee, cocoa, flowers and most importantly various vegetables grow from its cool highland and are ‘export-ed’ to most major markets on and out-side the island, particularly the hungry tourist-driven area of the South. Indeed, some of the finest, most

Mepantigan,the Balinese Outdoor PastimeGrown up in the farming tradition for thousands of years, the Balinese thus spent most of their time on the rice field, sowing the staple seeds, mending the waterways, keeping the animals away. So as it is time to spend their time to find the outdoor amuse-ment, the Balinese look no further than within rice field boundary. Indeed every region on the Bali vast rice cultivating practice develop their own tradition. The West Balinese cel-ebrate their pre-planting season, dur-ing the dry climate of August through to October, in their unique buffalo race between one rice field ‘circuit’ to another . North Balinese stage instead bull race sapi grumbungan also within the similar period of dry season. These

animal races are part of their culture to pursue joy as well as keep their time busy while at the same time keep the soil soft and supple. The central regency of Gianyar and Ubud has instead a long tradition of mud fighting for the similar purpose. Mepantigan, more accurately de-scribed as mud martial arts, is a form of fun-fighting and gathering among farmers in their rice fields while await-ing for their planting session to re-sume. As the regency is blessed with plenty of fertile soil with abundant wa-ter running from its criss-crossing riv-ers, combined with rice terraced along its gorges compared to the other two mentioned above, there is no much animal energy needed to help turn

their land ready for plantation. Thus, ‘human-attraction’ was created to kill the boredom. The age-old tradition was long forgotten as the island was ‘briefly’ colonialized by the Dutch from 1908 through to 1945, arguing that human fighting was against the human right. In those years, and the periods prior to the Dutch arrival, a great deal of casu-alties resulting from war and fighting among each nine kingdoms contest-ing for their superiority on the island were common and widespread. Other high casualty also came from the ‘girl stealing’ tradition. As history records, a groom must bravely ‘steal’ his dream girl at midnight and escape the ‘dark justice’ of death punishment from the

surrounding villagers for him to get married. Such were among the reasons for the Dutch officials to band the mepant-igan, for more often than not the events triggered mass fighting among villagers unhappy with their fighters, often because of unfair judgment. In recent years, though, a more friendly mud fighting has been brought to alive by a group of young farmers of Gianyar to liven up their ancient tradi-tion. The idea was the same, to bring ex-citement while waiting for the planting season to commence, while keeping the rice field soil spongy. To prevent the fight from out of control, a senior member of a village is appointed as a judge. He would led the fight with a kriss dagger in his hand, giving him a superior stance in case a fighter run-ning amok. A fighter is pronounced the win-ner once he manages to throw his op-ponent helplessly deep into the mud, much like the Japanese sumo or wres-tling. Since moving one’s foot is quite difficult in often knee-deep mud, the contests are more fun and entertain-ing than it is a serious martial art fight. But that is actually the idea, to have fun out of boredom.

Some people consider climbing a mountain or volcano is a big NO NO. So, the idea of climbing a mountain and cleaning up plastic rubbish along the way up and down across the un-mistakably hard-hitting track must be a double NO NO. But a group of young men under the name Bhakti Bumi Bali have been doing such in the past eight years with more and more people are joining the force, especially schoolchil-dren. Under the theme of school go clean campaign, each top high school in Denpasar, Tabanan and Singaraja form their climbing team consisting of 20 to 40 members. Each month or two, this group of student participate in hiking a mountain or volano across

Bali, cleaning up plastic rubbish along the way. SMA 1 Mengwi, the high school of Mengwi near Tabanan, particularly, is the most on-the-go group who never absent from regular hike. Their effort indeed paid off. Last year the school won a prestigious presidential award for their enviro-concern, especially for their contribution in making their sur-roundings, including the normally-dirty traditional market, a cleaner place, be-side their regular climbing. SMA 1 Mengwi has set the pace, and we, among the stakeholder of Bhakti Bumi Bali, are expecting more and more students to join the force to make Bali a cleaner and greener place.

Bringing hope and inspiration for people in Bali who are battling cancer, Four Seasons Resorts Bali is hosting the third Four Seasons “Hope for Life” on Sunday, September 18. Everyone is invited to take part in the 5 km fun walk (formerly known as the Terry Fox Run), or 21 km fun bike ride, starting at 7 a.m. The route begins and finishes at the beach near PJ’s restaurant at Jimbaran Bay. A celebratory party will follow the chal-lenge, providing a light breakfast, free-flowing beverages and live music from Joni Agung & Double-T Band. The 2008 event attracted 1700 participants and raised an impressive Rp 248,000,000 for cancer awareness and treatment in Bali. These funds helped to support cancer care and treatment throughout 2009 and 2010, working in cooperation with Yayasan Mitra Peduli Kanker. Many Bali resi-dents have benefited from free health seminars and cancer screenings, as well as counseling for families. Four Seasons “Hope for Life” is inspired by the courageous story of Terry Fox, a Canadian teenager who was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent the amputation of his right leg. In 1980, with only one leg, he set out to run all the way across Canada – a distance of some 8000 km – as a fundraiser for cancer research. Un-fortunately his battle with cancer cut his run short, but his determination

proved to be a great inspiration. One of the people motivated by Terry was Isadore Sharp, founder of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. When Terry could not complete his journey, Mr. Sharp telegrammed Terry to promise that a run would be held in his name every year, writing: “You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is re-alised.” Terry pinned this telegram to his hospital bed and expressed how much the message meant to him. He subsequently died of cancer in 1981. Four Seasons has taken Mr. Sharp’s promise to Terry Fox around the world, building on the enthusiastic support of the company’s employees and Canadian consular staff to intro-duce cancer fundraisers to every city in which a Four Seasons hotel or re-sort operates. Mr. Sharp, who personally expe-rienced the loss of a son to cancer, believes that one day a brilliant re-searcher – perhaps one funded by a Terry Fox grant – will find a cure for

the disease. “Terry did not lose the fight,” Mr. Sharp says. “Terry’s dream was to raise awareness of cancer, and he lived to see it fulfilled. His achieve-ment is a stunning reminder of what can be accomplished when just one person sets out to make a difference. Four Seasons is proud to have played a role in helping Terry’s dream come true – and in ensuring that it lives on through worldwide participation in the extraordinary fundraising event that he inspired.” Tickets for Four Seasons “Hope for Life” are available at Rp 50,000 per person at either Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay or at Sayan. All of the proceeds from ticket sale and donations are given to support cancer care and treatment in Bali.

On Bali no building higher than a coconut is allowed, no layer of street would ever be built. It is not that that a sky-scrapper against the Hindu tradi-tion, it is rather for human not to step higher than a coconut tree, the maxi-mum height Balinese is allowed to climb. Even the island’s Ngurah Rai in-ternational airport was purpose-built with both ends of the runways facing the open ocean, so that no aircraft will ever fly over the land of Bali. For Balinese Hindu, the human life-span is considered as the process of purifying oneself from impurity and sin, so that when one passes away, s/he would be granted a pass to enter swarga, the eternal heaven. Thus, hu-man shouldn’t travel higher that the

realm of god, because they are not yet clean, they still are in the process of cleansing up their body and mind, from the dirty realm we call planet earth, a place of the worldly pleasure and indulgence. Given such a strict regulation on the inner land, it is such a privilege for among paragliders to be able to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the portion the is-land southern side from hundreds of meters above the pristine beach. Bukit Timbis, or Timbis Hill, has, for the past few years, gains its reputation as the sole launching pad for paragliding. Located on the very steep gorge over fifty meter above the bluish Indi-an Ocean, Timbis is a perfect location

where the strong wind blowing from afar lifts up as it travels against the vertical reef. The prime location is also quite far away from Bali’s main temples, the reason human is prohibited from trav-eling over it. Indeed when one is para-gliding over Timbis, they travel beside the realm of Gods, the same way as Balinese traveling over the land. Such is the reason Timbis holds it dear privi-lege, not to be paired with the hinter-land.
