As Bali’s Governor Koster has recently issued an update to the list of do’s and don’ts of tourist behaviour in Bali, it’s as good of a time as ever to explore in detail all the rules that tourists must adhere to when visiting the island’s most famous temples. While Bali is best known as a travel destination for its sun, sea, and sand, it is also important for tourists to connect with the island’s cultural heritage. Bali is a majority Balinese Hindu island, and the cultural heritage of the island can be seen in every element of everyday life.
Whether travellers consider themselves religious or spiritual its doesn’t matter, visiting a Balinese temple gives visitors and insight into the deeply reverent nature of the island and its people.
