Up Close and Personal: One of the better ways to see the real Bali is by diving right in – in this case a leisurely stroll through the island’s stunning blanket of verdant ricefields, through where this trio of tourists are meandering with their local guide. Tour companies here have increasingly gone off the beaten track in recent years to offer experiences to tourists other than the traditional attractions. Treks also offer a chance to meet and view villagers up close – as well as working off the excesses of the night before.
