Bali is a magical island that offers serene beaches, spiritual temples, lush rice fields, and buzzing nightlife. Whether you’re a honeymooner, solo backpacker, or family vacationer, Bali has something for everyone. But before you pack your bags, here are 7 essential things you must know before visiting Bali!

1. Visa on Arrival is Easy

Good news! Indian passport holders can get a Visa on Arrival in Bali for 30 days. Just carry your passport with at least 6 months’ validity and return flight tickets. The visa fee is approx. USD 35.

Pro Tip: Carry cash in USD or Indonesian Rupiah for a faster process.

2. Weather Can Make or Break Your Trip

Bali has two main seasons:

• 🌧️ Wet Season: November to March

• ☀️ Dry Season: April to October (Best time to visit)

Pro Tip: Plan your trip between May to September for clear skies and perfect beach weather.

3. Currency & Payments

The local currency is Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). 1 INR ≈ 190 IDR (approx).

💵 Carry some cash for street shopping and local eateries.
💳 Cards and UPI-enabled apps like Wise, Revolut, or Niyo work in many places.

4. Respect Local Culture & Temples

Balinese people are deeply spiritual. Temples are sacred and require respectful clothing.

🙏 Always carry a sarong while visiting temples.
👟 Remove shoes before entering holy areas.
📸 Avoid posing disrespectfully near idols.

5. Traffic is Real – Plan Accordingly

Bali’s traffic, especially in touristy areas like Kuta, Seminyak, and Ubud, can be slow due to narrow roads and scooters.

🛵 Renting a scooter is common, but only if you’re confident riding.
🚖 Otherwise, use local taxis or apps like Grab and Gojek.

6. Explore Beyond Beaches

Yes, Bali has stunning beaches, but don’t miss:

• 🏞️ Tegallalang Rice Terraces (Ubud)

• 🌋 Mount Batur Sunrise Trek

• 💦 Tegenungan & Gitgit Waterfalls

• 🛕 Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Dance Show

Pro Tip: Plan a mix of beach + nature + culture for a wholesome experience.

7. Stay in Different Locations

To truly experience Bali, stay in 2–3 different zones:

• 🌊 Seminyak or Canggu – for beach cafes & nightlife

• 🍃 Ubud – for nature & culture

• 🏝️ Nusa Penida – for island hopping

This helps reduce travel time and gives you diverse vibes in one trip.

✈️ Final Thought:

Bali is more than a destination – it’s an emotion. A perfect mix of relaxation, spirituality, adventure, and culture.
