Hi, I’m Ranjit Maji — the creator of TrueBaliGuide.com and a long-term Bali traveler who turned a love for the island into a mission to help others experience it authentically.
🌴 Why I Started This Blog
After spending over two years living in Bali and exploring its diverse regions — from serene Ubud rice fields, terraces to the surf spots of Uluwatu and the hidden corners of East Bali, the paths alleys and people with their unique culture— I realized how much incredible, real information gets buried under touristy noise.
True Bali Guide was born out of a desire to cut through the fluff and offer something different:
✔️ Real experiences
✔️ Honest tips
✔️ Local insights
✔️ Up-to-date travel advice
I wanted a place where first-time visitors, returning travelers, and long-term explorers could find reliable, tested, and thoughtful guidance.
