Bali Volcanoes Helicopter Tour

Bali island in Indonesia is renowned for its natural beauty and as a fabulous tourist attraction. However, the island is also known for its terrorist attacks in recent years. Since then, the people of Bali have recovered and the island is now a hotspot for tourists from all over the world once again, especially for its beach resorts and volcano helicopter tours.
The island’s ecology and geography are greatly influenced by the towering mountain range of volcanoes that dominate the island. These majestic volcanoes created Bali’s stunning mountainous landscape and they occasionally regenerate its soils and help produce heavy rains that provide this resort island with precious fresh water.
The Balinese considered the island’s many volcanoes, lakes and spring as sacred and treat them with respect and awe. If you are a tourist traveling to Bali for your holiday vacation, you will be awestruck with the sheer majesty of the volcanoes. These natural landscapes are major tourist attractions and many tourist go sightseeing the volcanoes on helicopter tours so that they can view the volcanoes in all its splendor and take awesome pictures. The island is still continually being formed by volcanic activities.
Bali is located over a major fault zone where the Indo-Australian plate collides with the Sunda plate. In 1963, a violent eruption on Mount Agung killed thousands of people and utterly destroyed many rice fields and irrigation network.
The dramatic lava flows on the north eastern faces of Mt Agung is the newest landforms, showing what the island may look like in ancient pre-historic time. It is a fascinating sightseeing experience, almost like a scene out of Jurassic Park.
Perhaps, the most popular volcano for tourists to visit and go sightseeing is Mount Batur. This grand old dame of a volcano sits in a giant caldera that contains a lake that is a few miles long and over a mile wide. Mount Batur is actually a very active volcano and can erupt moment as it erupted with great frequency but the eruptions are less violent these days except in a giant eruption in 1917 which claimed thousands of lives and destroyed hundreds of temples and villages.
Hiking up Mount Batur in the wee small hours of the the morning has become something of a “must do” thing for many tourists in Bali. You will need to bring along a sweater as it can get a little chilly at the volcano summit.
There is also a little coffee shop at the rim selling drinks for thirsty hikers and many children and women in flip flops balancing buckets of soft drinks on their heads scampering around trying to earn your tourist dollar. As the sun rises, you will get a picturesque view of Lombok and other surrounding islands.
One very interesting hike on Mt Batur is the climb down the inside of the crater from Penelokan to Kedisan. There are boats at Toya Bungkah Lake to take you across the lake to a village called Trunyan. This village is notorious for its mortuary traditions because instead of cremating or burying their deceased, the Trunyan villagers leave dead human bodies to decompose naturally in a designated cemetery.
Although Bali is known for rice cultivation, its volcanic soil is actually not well suited for such activities. The soil is finely textured and well drained, so water soaks through the soil rapidly and thus precious water is wasted. The solution therefore lies in repeated and vigorous ploughing which make the soil less permeable.
So if you are visiting Bali for your holiday vacations, do not miss out a sightseeing trip to view Bali’s majestic volcanoes, better yet, take a helicopter tour of this spectacular tourist attraction.

Bali Vs. Jogjakarta (indonesian) Silver Jewelry

Yesterday I found the website from Indonesia named Balidoll.com that sells the Silver Jewelry. (Unfortunately it used Bahasa and no English option). It’s Ok for me, I just want to watch their collection.

First I read that name is Balidoll.com, I think that collection have to come from Bali. When I watch their collection, then I found that there are many collection come from Jogjakarta (Jogjakarta). Why did I say that? Silver Jewelry from Bali and Jogja is very differing at its individuality. I will mention that right here.

Bali Silver Jewelry

Silver jewelry style from Bali is tending to thicker than others from Jogja, because it’s playing in correctness compile of the motif and form of the three dimension characters. Most of the Bali Silver Jewelry also forms by the solid silver.Let say the rings or pendants from Bali, We could see that there are made from solid frame silver which carved look like with the Bali ornaments style.

Jogjakarta Silver Jewelry

Silver Jewelry from Jogjakarta has a unique style, they playing with filigree and form of the silver yarn. It makes the Jogja silver Jewelry tend to attenuate than Bali ones. Jogja silver style made by jointing the yarn till form the framework.As the filigree style we will find the high art which really hand made by human being. The Jogja silver jewelry style cannot make with casting machine. It has to hand made. As the other hand made, then the Jogja silver jewelry not accurately equal from one to the others, although it had the same models.

After visit and looking at the website collections, I try to call the store owner Mr. Sutrisno Lamin, to confirming what I watch at his website.Mr. Sutrisno Lamin said that, He made the silver jewelry collections not limited to the Bali or Jogja style, but he called his collections by Indonesian style.

After all Mr. Lamin mention that he produce the silver by collecting of the traditional handicrafts worker group and outsource the production to them. He gives that group the silver to be made to the jewelry and then controlling the quality of the jewelry their made, that’s all. With that system he claims that many handicraft worker groups can get the better life by doing his working order. Sure, that was interesting to me.

One of other interesting ones is that he outsources his jewelry working order to the handicraft worker group at Kotagede town in Jogjakarta. So have I done wrong when I said that the Balidoll.com silver jewelry style is the Jogjakarta style? Let’s prove together.
