Geography of Bali :
Located only two kilometers east of Jawa, Bali's climate,

tropical forests, pristine crater lakes, fast flowing rivers and deep ravines,
picturesque rice terraces, and fertile vegetable and fruit gardens. The beaches
in the South consist of white sand, beaches in other parts of the island are
covered with gray or black volcanic sand.
