Alex Rathbun Indonesia- Pre Trip Planning

FLIGHT :

 I found a flight that leaves India at 11:10 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 and we will arive in Bali on 11:45 am Wednesday, November 14th. The total price for 7 people is $3291.16. We have a connecting flight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I have attached all of the flight information on the bottom.

ACCOMMODATIONS: 

For the first two nights (Wednesday and Thursday) of our stay in Bali we are going in the heart of Bali's best hangout area. We are staying at the Kayun Hostel in Kuta. The hostel is a 10 minute walk to all the local bars and 15 minutes to the beach. The address is Kuta, Jalan Patih Jelantik 176, Kayun Hostel. We will be taking a taxi from the airport to the hostel. For two, four bedroom rooms this will cost us $320.16 for two nights. For food, we will be going out to eat both days. There are many restaurants near by so we will walk to local places for lunch and dinner.

Next, we will be traveling from Kuta to Ubud. Ubud is a traditional, beautiful place located in the mountains, north of Denpasar. I have read online it is one of the best places to see unspoiled old culture.  In Ubud, we will be staying at the Jati Home Stay and Gallery. I have booked two family size rooms and the total cost is $185.56 for two nights. 

Finally, we will travel from Ubud to Amlapura. Amlapura is on Balis North coast and is in the mountains. It is home of the former palace of the king of Karangasem. We will be staying at the Kubu Carik for two nights. For two nights and four bedrooms it is $574.56. There are a lot of restaurants near by so we will be eating at those.

ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS:
Natural Site
Built monument or attraction
Cultural/historical event or site
Recreation/sports activity 

In Kuta, I was thinking for one day we can relax and hang out at Kuta Beach and party at night in Legian Street. They are both very close to our hostel.

I also want to see the Monument of Human Tragedy while in Kuta. This is where 202 people were massacred by two massive explosions.

In Ubud, we could go to Goa Gajah also known as the elephant cave. It is one of Bali's most historically significant sites and it served as a sanctuary in the 9th century.

In Amlapura, I want to visit the Puri Agung Karangasem which is a series of compounds that house the royal palace. It is 10,000 rupiah to enter the inner court which is called Maskerdam.

I also want to visit Pura Luhur Lempuyang which is one of Bali's nine directional temples. We would be hiking to it and will get a guide when we get there. We would get there early in the morning because people say the heat is unbearable during the day.
