Bali Map - General Features

Bali is very mountainous, with deep ravines and ridgelines spreading out from the volcanoes, so most road routes follow the ridges. As a result most of the roads run around the coast, and parallel the ridgelines and rivers from north to south.

Included within the Province of Bali are the islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Cemingan, Pulau Serangan, and Nusa Lembongan, off the south east coast of Bali, and the small island of Pulau Mejangan off the north west coast.

Bali Map - Relief Features

Bali has a set of volcanoes, many over 2000 meters, stretching in a chain across the center of the island from east to west. The highest mountains (gunung) are Gunung Agung (over 3000m) at the eastern most end of the island, Gunung Batur (1700m) with a large crater lake, Gunung Catur (2090m) and Gunung Batukau (2200m).

The land to the north and south of this mountainous chain spreads in a series of ridges and ravines. Southern Bali is a series of gently sloping and flat alluvial plains, while the northern coast is narrow and rises steeply up into the mountains.

The far western region, the far eastern area, and the Bukit Peninsula to the far south are all arid areas, and are less populated.
