Bali Travel Guide: Visa, Best Time & Top Places

Bali is straightforward to plan once you know the basics — here's what actually matters.

Visa for Indians

Indonesia offers visa-on-arrival for Indian passport holders, valid for 30 days and extendable once. It's a simple counter process on arrival at Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Best time to visit

April to October is the dry season and generally the most reliable window for beach time and outdoor sightseeing. November to March brings more rain, though tropical showers are often short and don't derail a full day.

Where to stay

Seminyak and Canggu suit travellers wanting beach clubs and nightlife. Ubud suits those prioritising culture, rice terraces, and a quieter pace. Many itineraries (including ours) split time between a coastal area and Ubud.

Getting around

Traffic in South Bali (Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu) can be heavy — private drivers are the norm for tourists and are what we arrange as part of any package.
