Bali Travel Guide

Preparing to visit Bali? Let us help!

Bali, an Introduction

Bali is one of the most unique island, out of the over 12,000 islands that makes up Indonesia. Unique in religion, unique in culture, almost everything about Bali sets it apart from the rest of the country. And that is charm which captures droves of tourists. There is much to explore about Bali, and at AsiaExplorers, we will take you on an online tour of the most popular ones.

Bali Travel Recommendation

Do-It-Yourself
Bali is a destination in its own right, and most visitors arrive at the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Please note that airport tax must be paid at the airport during departure, and is Rp 100,000 at time of writing.

It will probably take weeks if not months, to cover all the sights in Bali. I recommend staying at least 4-5 days in Bali to explore the major sights at leisure. Taking into account the condition of country roads, a large part of your trip may be spent travelling from one sight to the next.
