Amar Chokhe(r) Bali - Finns Club and the GWK Park

Finns Beach Club is one of the largest Beach clubs in the world. Being there is an experience to remember. The vibe I got inside was something I have never experienced before. The pools, the music, the rythm, the dancing crowd will take you in a totally different world, which may be forbidden for some. But if you want to experience the night life in Bali, this is the dedinitely the place to be.

The GWK Park
The GWK park or the Garud Vishnu Kenchana Park is a huge park dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu and his vahan Garud, the king of the birds. This park hosts humongous statues of Garud and Vishnu, one of them being sitiated on a cliff top and can be seen from flights that pass over the region. 
Rising from the rugged hills of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the magnificent Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue stands watch over the island. The towering statue is Bali’s most iconic landmark and depicts the Hindu God Wisnu, atop his mount, the mythical eagle, Garuda. Soaring to a height of over 120 meters, this is one of the tallest monumental statues in the world, higher than both the Statue of Liberty and Christ the Redeemer. 
According to Hindu mythology, Garuda is a divine bird and the mount of Lord Vishnu. The bird is believed to have the ability to change its size and shape at will, and is revered for its strength and speed. The legend of Garuda and Vishnu is one of the most popular stories in Hindu mythology, and has been the subject of countless works of art and literature. The idea for the Garuda Wisnu Kencana sculpture was inspired by this myth, and was meant to serve as a symbol of Indonesia's rich cultural heritage and connection to Hinduism.

Amar Chokhe(r) Bali - The Journey to reach Bali

Image
Starting from the Kolkata Airport. It was a long journey and so I decided to be comfortable in a tshirt and lounge pant. Checked in to the lounge and strolling around, looking at the merchandise in the duty free shops. Boarded the Singapore Airlines flight to Singapore. Have a connecting flight to Denpasar after a 2 hours layover.  Reached the Changi Airport, Singapore Singapore Airport is beautiful and a Tourist attraction in itself. You will get to see many instaworthy places inside the Airport only. But due to lack of time, we could cover only the orchid garden. We plan to cover the rest on way back when we have a layover of 6 hours.  Waiting for the security check at the Singapore Airport to board the flight to Denpasar  Security check done. Waiting to board the flight.  Getting off from the flight and setting foot on the Denpasar Airport would give you a feeling that you have entered a land of hindu sculptures and paintings. They are scat...
