Travel Tips

- Book popular hotels and activities 3–6 weeks ahead; availability is decent but top spots still fill up.
- Carry reef-safe sunscreen, hat and light layers; midday UV is strong.
- Start day trips early to avoid heat and traffic, especially to Uluwatu, Ubud and Nusa Penida harbours.
- Check current visa/VOA rules for Indian passport holders before travel.
- Use ATMs for fair exchange into Indonesian Rupiah; cards are widely accepted in tourist areas.
- Time zone is UTC+8 (about 2.5 hours ahead of India); plan morning tour pick-ups accordingly.
