The Coral Triangle
The place where Bali is located is called the Coral Triangle and is formed by the waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Mauritius and other island nations present in the region, along with Timor and Papua New Guinea. This location of the island is what gives Bali the biological and marine diversity for which it is famous. Surely an interesting fact about Bali!
1 Year = 210 days
Yes, it is true, one year in Bali has 210 days. The fact about Bali is due to the Pawukon Calendar, the official calendar of Bali which has the year divided into 6 months, with each month having 35 days.
Black Sand
You might have seen white sand in Bali, but have you ever heard of black sand? Since Bali is a volcanic part of Indonesia, a lot of these volcanic eruptions have resulted in the black color of the sand. So do not be wary if you see the black beaches here and hope this astonishing fact about Bali will bring about many photo opportunities!
Two Seasons Town
Another interesting fact about Bali is that it is not home to the most vivid season variations in the world. It has only two seasons, actually. Since it is a tropical place, the weather is moderate throughout the year, but it still experiences two seasons: the dry season(April to October) and the wet season(October to April).
No Creativity in First Names
The whole world is busy looking out for baby names, the Balinese do not have any problems at all. Wondering why? Because they have only 4 names for all their kids, which are in accordance with their order of birth, the first baby- Wayan, the second baby- Made, the third baby- Nyoman, the fourth baby- Ketut, and the cycles starts over again form the fifth baby. A quite confusing and interesting fact about Bali, isn’t it?
The Four Guardian Angels
Here's a cultural fact about Bali. It is a common Balinese belief that when a child is born, he or she brings with them four angels who are supposed to protect them from any evil spirits or harmful events until they are 4 years old. The parents are also not allowed to put their children on the ground until they are 3 months old. so, babies are supposed to be carried around everywhere until they are 12 weeks old.
Bali Priests are Paid By the Government
It is quite a political feat, the government of Indonesia pays the Balinese priests of every religion. This will take place under the National Health Insurance Program.
Kopi Luwak
This coffee is grown indigenously in the areas of Bali, Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi and is the most expensive coffee in the world, with one cup costing as much as USD 50 a cup. Since Kopi Luwak is derived from any beans collected from the civet excrements, the taste of each and every cup of coffee may vary from place to place. A lot actually depends on the food habits of the civet as well. However many reports have come out regarding the abuse of the civet cats in the production of Kopi Luwak to meet the demands of this industry, therefore ensure that you have researched where you're getting your Kopi Luwak from and is sourced from a sustainable production method that does not harm the animal.
Nyepi Day
This is a unique celebration of silence in Bali. During this day, everybody on the island of Bali celebrates complete silence. The whole island shuts down, be it work, or conversation or traveling, everything stops for an entire day. This event is observed at the beginning of every new year in Bali. Quite a spectacle it would be an interesting fact about Bali, right?
Gunung Agung
This volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world, being the highest point on the entire island and still an active volcano. This last erupted in 1963-64 and its effects can still be seen on the lower part of the hill. The volcano houses a huge crater spewing ash and dust at all times. This volcano is also a sacred place on the island. The Balinese believe that Mount Agung is a replica of Mount Meru, which is considered to be the central axis of the universe.
Hinduism
Indonesia is a Muslim dominated country, but Bali is inhabited mostly by Hindus, who are a little different from the Hindus of India. Though the caste system exists in Bali too, here there are not as many restraints as you may observe in Indian society, with the absence of the “untouchable” class and restrictions against inter-caste marriages.
Lingo Bingo
Indonesia is home to more than 1000 languages, including dialects as well. Bali has its own set of languages and has been influenced by the other neighboring nations as well. Hence, the widely spoken languages in Bali include Balinese, certain dialects of the Indonesian language and Kawi, a type of old Japanese language. English can also be heard in tourist prone areas.

DO dress conservatively outside the main tourist resorts, especially when visiting temples and mosques.
DO obey the rules when entering a temple or any religious sites. For instance, you must wear a sarong and a sash, and leave your footwear at the entrance when entering a Hindu temple. (Also, always remove your footwear before entering a local’s house.)
DO use the local social titles when talking or referring to someone older than you: use “Pak” for men and “Ibu” for women.
DO learn some useful Indonesian phrases; it is always appreciated. For example, “Terima Kasih” means thank you, “Selamat Pagi” means good morning and “Maaf” means sorry.
DO NOT touch the head of a Balinese local. Even patting a cute child’s head is forbidden. For them, the head is the most sacred and purest part of the body.
DO NOT use your left hand when giving money or handing over anything else. The left hand is considered unclean so always use your right hand to give, and both hands to receive.
DO NOT point with one finger, and do not touch or point at someone with your feet. These acts are extremely offensive.
DO NOT use or bring drugs into Bali. Indonesian drug laws are among the strictest in Asia and it makes zero difference whether you’re a foreigner or not. The death penalty still exists there and the Kerobokan Prison houses plenty of tourists who thought they could get past the system.
DO NOT mess with the monkeys on the island, especially those in touristy spots like Uluwatu and Ubud. If you get too close, they might steal everything they can get their hands on – sunglasses, hats, even your bag! If this happens, try to give them a few Rupiahs or ask a local for help. Yes, you heard me right, a lot of the monkeys are trained to take your belongings and make you pay to get them back.
DO drink bottles water - Bali is hot all year round and you don’t want to dehydrate
DO NOT drink tap water, it does not taste good and will almost certainly give you stomach problems
