Before you fly
Visa, flights & money: Bali from India
Visa for Indians
Visa on Arrival (30 days, extendable once) at Denpasar airport, or apply for the e-VOA online before flying. Pay the Bali tourist levy (IDR 150,000) on the official Love Bali site and fill in the customs declaration online.
Flights from India
Some airlines fly direct from Indian metros; otherwise connect via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok (8–12 hours total). Arrive in daylight if you can — the drive to Ubud takes about 1.5 hours.
Money & payments
Currency is the rupiah (IDR; ₹1 is roughly IDR 190). Use bank ATMs inside banks or malls and authorised money changers (signs say "PT" and "authorised"). Cash is king at warungs, temples and markets.
SIM, eSIM & apps
Buy a Telkomsel tourist SIM at the airport or an eSIM before you fly. Gojek and Grab are cheap for food delivery and short rides, but some areas restrict app pickups.
Plugs & power
Type C/F sockets (European round two-pin), 230V. Indian two-pin round plugs usually fit; three-pin plugs need an adapter.
Time difference
Bali is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of India.
Visa and entry rules change. Always confirm on the official embassy or government website before you book.
Insider tips
Bali insider tips: money savers, local secrets & what to avoid
Save money
Hire a driver for the day
A private car with driver costs around IDR 600,000–800,000 a day for up to 8–10 hours — often cheaper than separate taxis and far less tiring.
Save money
Count money at the counter
Some street money changers short-change with sleight of hand. Use authorised changers or bank ATMs and count notes before leaving the counter.
Save money
Spa prices drop away from Seminyak
A 60-minute Balinese massage costs a fraction in Ubud's side streets compared with beach-club spas, with the same quality.
Local secret
Do not step on offerings
The small palm-leaf canang sari baskets on pavements are daily Hindu offerings — walk around them.
Local secret
Sarong rules at temples
Carry your own sarong and sash for temples; women who are menstruating are traditionally asked not to enter.
Best timing
Tegallalang before 8 AM
Tour buses arrive mid-morning. Early mornings give soft light, cooler air and empty paths.
Best timing
Kecak tickets an hour early
The Uluwatu Kecak dance sells out daily. Buy tickets at about 5 PM and sit high on the west side for the sunset behind the dancers.
Avoid this
Monkeys at Uluwatu
The monkeys snatch glasses, hats and phones and "trade" them back for food. Keep everything in a zipped bag.
Avoid this
Scooter rentals without a licence
Many travel insurance policies do not cover scooter accidents without a valid motorcycle licence and IDP — hire a driver instead.
Avoid this
"Bali belly"
Drink only sealed bottled or filtered water, skip ice at small stalls and carry ORS sachets from India.
FAQs
Bali trip FAQs for Indian travellers
Do Indians get visa on arrival in Bali?
Yes. Indians can get Indonesia's Visa on Arrival (30 days) at Bali airport, or apply online in advance for an e-VOA to skip the queue. You also pay the Bali tourist levy (IDR 150,000) online or at arrival.
How much does a 6-day Bali trip cost from India?
Plan about ₹50,000–80,000 per person excluding flights for a mix of Ubud and Seminyak hotels, a private driver, the Nusa Penida tour and meals. Flights from India are usually ₹20,000–40,000 return.
Is Bali good for vegetarians and Jains?
Excellent. Ubud has pure-veg Indian restaurants such as Ayodhya (Jain-friendly) and Prasadam on Jalan Bisma, and Seminyak has Namaskar Thali and Shivsagar. Balinese cafés also serve plenty of vegan food.
Is Nusa Penida worth a day trip?
Yes, for Kelingking Beach alone. Book a tour with fast boat and private driver; the island roads are rough, so avoid renting a scooter.
When is the best time to visit Bali?
April to October is the dry season with sunny days and calmer seas. November to March brings afternoon rain, fewer crowds and lower hotel prices.
