Bali, it's the ultimate dream destination but with so many options it's hard to know the best places to visit and how to spend your time. As the world's leading volunteer abroad organization, International Volunteer HQ, we have supported thousands of volunteers to give back in Bali. We asked them which stunning sights, mouth-watering eateries, epic events, and unmissable secret spots they'd recommend in Bali. Here's a list of must-dos from volunteers that are in-the-know authentic travel pros...

No visit to Bali would be complete without a trip to see at least one of Bali's temples. There are over 20,000 Pura (Balinese for temple) in Bali at last count, a widespread marker of Bali's exuberant culture; you don't have to make an effort to see all of them, but you do have to see at least a few of the temples listed below. Some temples can be seen in a single trip (Tirta Empul and Pura Gunung Kawi are both near Tampaksiring, for instance); others may need a little more advance planning. In any case, the effort to see any of these Bali temples is effort well spent - particularly if your visit coincides with an odalan, or temple festival!
