Heading to Bali for your next vacay? Everything packed for days out at the beautiful beaches, tropical forests, temples, nightclubs and shopping zones of Bali? As much as packing is essential, there are so many things that any holidaymaker would claim they wished to know before arriving in Bali.
So here is an essential guide to Bali tourism that should definitely go side-by-side with your Bali itinerary as you ready yourself for the trip. It would be really helpful for any Bali tour package, including exquisite Bali tour packages from Ahmedabad.
1. Best time to visit Bali
Bali sports a tropical climate – humid and warm throughout the year with considerable rainy and dry spells. Be mindful of the monsoon while planning your trip. It would be better to avoid being cooped up indoors which is liable to happen during the months of January-April and October-November. The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season – April through October.
2. Plan your base
It is essential that you choose the ideal base for your Bali holiday. If you’re planning to splurge, you can blindly choose the southern part of Bali – Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, etc. which are the most popular and expensive touristy zones. But if you head to the beaches in the north, you may find less crowded zones where the prices for almost everything are even half that of south Bali.
3. Learn the local language
Although Indonesian is the official language and Balinese is popular in the countryside, Bali is more acquainted with the English language thanks to the increasing influx of tourists and Australian expat population. But it wouldn’t hurt if you have a few basic terms handy, like terima kasih (thank you), tolong (please) and selamat pagi (good morning).
4. Economical commutation
The best option for commuting economically in Bali would be renting a scooter or motorbike. It is cheaper than hiring a taxi and less tedious than waiting for bus transport. Helmet is not necessary in Bali, but it is said that one would be mad to not wear one. If you prefer travelling by cars, Uber is the more economical choice (Uber pool for even better savings).
5. Shopping and bargaining
One would find a wide range of options when it comes to purchasing souvenirs of a Bali trip. Bali’s famous Kopi Luwak coffee, chocolates, handicrafts, eco-friendly products, fragrances, body oils, etc. are some of the popular favourites. And it is to be noted that nothing is ever seen at face value in Bali. One can wholeheartedly bargain while shopping in Bali, but it is also in one’s best interests that one does so, respectfully.
6. Dress for the occasion
Beachwear does not go well everywhere in Bali, especially in upscale restaurants, clubs and bars, and definitely not in temples. Make sure that your knees and shoulders are covered when you visit religious places – a sash and sarong can be bought for cheap in the area if you arrive unprepared
Party safe, wear helmets and respect the people, their religion, customs and environment wherever you go – in short, avoid doing anything that you wouldn’t do back at your hometown. Then, even a short trip to Bali during your exciting Indonesia tour packages from Kolkata would be blissfully hassle free.
