Reviewed by Thrillophilia Bali Operations Team
Bali tour packages from India start at INR 22,000 for a 4-day trip and go up to INR 1,00,000+ for a longer 12-day tour. These packages cover popular destinations such as Ubud, Kuta, Nusa Penida, and Seminyak, along with offbeat places like Gili Island and Canggu. They also include accommodations, airport transfers, intercity transportation, guided sightseeing, attraction tickets, and 24/7 on-trip assistance.

Note: All fares above are indicative as of 2026. Check current prices on airline websites or aggregators before booking.
Bali Visa for Indian Travellers
Indian passport holders can enter Bali through two options: either by a Visa on Arrival or an e-visa. Both methods are easy, and neither of them requires an advance application with the Indonesian consulate in India.
Visa on Arrival - Easiest Option
The Visa on Arrival (VOA) counter is at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar. You get the visa on arrival with no advance arrangements needed.
- Fee: Approximately INR 2,500 per person (verify on the official Indonesia immigration website before travel)
- Duration: 30 days. Extendable by another 30 days from within Bali.
- Processing time at the counter: 15 to 30 minutes
- Payment: Cash (IDR or USD accepted) or credit card at the counter
Documents Needed at the VOA Counter:
- Valid Indian passport (must have at least 6 months' validity from the date of entry)
- Return flight ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds (credit card or bank statement)
- Completed immigration form (available on the flight or at the airport)
e-Visa - Skip the Airport Queue
The Indonesian e-Visa allows you to complete the visa application online before travel. It costs the same as VOA, with the benefit of skipping the VOA queue at the airport. Apply 3 to 5 days before travel at the e-Visa (official Indonesian immigration portal). You will receive the e-Visa by email and have to present it at immigration on arrival.
One thing to keep in mind is that an e-Visa takes more time to get than a visa on arrival, but it helps you skip the airport queue, which can save time during busy hours when lines are long. Visa on arrival details are current as of 2026, but it is always best to check the official Indonesian immigration website before travel, as rules can change.
International Driving Permit - If You Plan to Rent a Scooter
An Indian driver's licence alone is not sufficient to legally ride a scooter in Bali. You need an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by a recognised Automobile Association of India (AAI) branch in India. Get this before you travel.
Top Places to Visit in Bali
To make the most of your time on your Bali tour packages, choose the places you'd want to see and get them added to your itinerary. Here are some of the best places to visit in Bali to help you plan your trip better:
1. Ubud

Chintan & family enjoyed the serene beauty of Bali's lush rice fields, with our Family Vacation in Bali | From Island Trails to Beachside Tales package on a memorable 7 Days & 6 Nights getaway.
Ubud is the cultural centre of Bali and the place where most travellers stay to experience the island beyond its beaches. Surrounded by rice terraces, river valleys, temples, artisan villages, and wellness retreats, it offers a very different atmosphere from the coastal areas. Most travellers spend 2 to 3 nights in Ubud exploring the surrounding countryside and cultural attractions.
As per Thrillophilia's Bali operations team, travellers who stay in central Ubud can easily cover rice terraces, temples, waterfalls, and workshops without spending hours in traffic. Early morning visits consistently receive better feedback than afternoon visits, especially at Tegalalang and the Monkey Forest.
2. Seminyak
Seminyak is Bali's most established lifestyle and shopping destination. It's also one of the places that travellers always add into their Bali tour packages and spend at least 2-3 days. Known for its beach clubs, boutique shopping, luxury villas, and sunset-facing restaurants, it attracts travellers looking for a more refined coastal experience. The area is compact enough to explore on foot, particularly around Petitenget and Kayu Aya streets.
Based on the feedback of our travellers, Seminyak works best for couples and first-time Bali visitors who want easy access to restaurants, spas, shopping, and nightlife without constantly changing locations.
3. Kuta

Shivaputra admired the beautiful traditional Balinese artwork and cultural heritage, capturing a memorable moment with our Bali Getaway with Ubud Culture and Kuta Coastline package on an unforgettable 5 Days & 4 Nights Bali getaway.
Kuta remains Bali's most affordable tourist hub and one of the island's easiest areas for first-time visitors. Its proximity to the airport, wide beach, beginner-friendly surf breaks, and extensive accommodation options make Kuta an easy base for short and budget Bali trip packages. It is best suited for budget travellers, surfers, and short-stay visitors.
You also have free access to Kuta Beach, and if you're planning to learn surfing on your Bali trip, the surfing lessons here will cost you approx. INR 1,000 to INR 3,500.
Thrillophilia's destination experts often recommend Kuta for travellers arriving late at night or departing early, as airport transfers are significantly easier than from Ubud or Canggu.
4. Nusa Penida

Pushpit admired the breathtaking views of Kelingking Beach, Nusa Penida, with our Bali Couple Special | From Sacred Temples to Serene Shores package on an unforgettable 5 Days & 4 Nights Bali getaway.
Nusa Penida is famous for its dramatic coastal cliffs, turquoise waters, and some of the most photographed viewpoints, thus often included in Bali tour packages from India. Kelingking Beach, Diamond Beach, and Atuh Beach are the island's main highlights. Most visitors explore the island on a day trip, although an overnight stay allows a more relaxed experience. The day trip takes about 8-10 hours to cover, so it's a good idea to keep a day dedicated to Nusa Penida.
Even though the island looks small on a map, travel times are longer than expected because of steep and winding roads. Most visitors enjoy the experience more when they hire a local driver rather than renting a scooter.
5. Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is Bali's premier resort enclave and offers a very different experience from the island's busier tourist areas. Well-maintained beaches, calm waters, landscaped roads, and international luxury resorts make it a great addition to Bali tour packages booked by families and honeymooners. Stay here for 2-4 nights to experience this place to its fullest.
As per Thrillophilia's Bali Operations Team, Nusa Dua is one of the few areas in Bali where travellers can comfortably spend an entire holiday within their resort zone without needing daily sightseeing plans.
6. Canggu
Canggu has evolved from a quiet surf village into Bali's most popular destination for younger travellers, remote workers, and long-stay visitors. The area combines surf beaches, coworking spaces, trendy cafes, and a relaxed social atmosphere. Canggu attracts a younger crowd than Seminyak and often becomes a favourite stop for travellers who are looking for a long, relaxing holiday or want a place to go to on a luxury workation..
The place is loved by solo travellers, digital nomads, and surfers
7. Jimbaran
Jimbaran is known for its calm bay, seafood restaurants, and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the busier beaches of Kuta and Seminyak, Jimbaran focuses on sunset dining experiences where tables are set directly on the sand overlooking the ocean. Jimbaran Beach has no entry fee, and the best time to visit is during sunset or in the evening. Travelers generally stay for a half-day visit or plan a one-night stay
Thrillophilia's on-ground team recommends Jimbaran on the final evening of Bali itineraries because it combines excellent food, sunset views, and convenient airport access.
8. Uluwatu

Akshay & his partner enjoyed the iconic Bali Jungle Swing, surrounded by lush tropical forests and breathtaking valley views, with our Bali Getaway with Ubud Culture and Kuta Coastline package on an unforgettable 5 Days & 4 Nights Bali getaway.
Located on the southern tip of Bali's Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu is famous for its cliff-top temple, world-class surf breaks, and dramatic ocean views. The area has become increasingly popular with travellers looking to add a quieter alternative to Seminyak and Canggu to their Bali tour packages. Do not miss the Kecak Fire Dance performance in the evening, as the combination of sunset views, cliff-top scenery, and the Kecak Fire Dance makes Uluwatu one of the most memorable evenings on a Bali itinerary.
9. Denpasar
Denpasar is Bali's capital city and serves as the island's administrative and commercial centre. While most visitors choosing Bali tour packages use it primarily as a transit point, it offers a more local perspective of daily life compared to Bali's resort towns. Check out the Bali museum, Badung market, local shopping spots, or go for local food exploration and cultural experiences.
While Denpasar is rarely included as a standalone destination, travellers interested in local markets and everyday Balinese life often find it a refreshing contrast to the island's tourist-focused areas.
Top Things to Do in Bali
Some experiences stay with you long after the trip has ended, and below is a list of many such experiences and things to do in Bali that you'll love to add to your Bali tour packages:
1. Hike Mount Batur at Sunrise

Ashuma soaked in the breathtaking views of Mount Batur while enjoying a refreshing drink, surrounded by Bali's scenic volcanic landscapes, with our The Bali Group Tour Adventure package on a memorable 7 Days & 6 Nights getaway.
Mount Batur is Bali's most popular volcano trek, often included in almost every Bali tour package and one of the few sunrise experiences that genuinely lives up to expectations. Standing at approximately 1,717 metres above sea level, the active volcano overlooks Lake Batur and the surrounding caldera. Most hikers start between 2 am and 3 am and reach the summit just before sunrise. While the Mount Batur trail is manageable for beginners, a guide is highly recommended due to the darkness and uneven terrain.

- Trek duration: 1.5 to 2.5 hours each way
- Start time: usually between 2 am and 3 am

2. Explore Nusa Penida's Coastal Cliffs and Snorkelling Spots

Kunal & his partner admired the breathtaking Broken Beach (Pasih Uug), Nusa Penida, with our Bali Couple Special | From Sacred Temples to Serene Shores package on their unforgettable 5 Days & 4 Nights Bali getaway.
Nusa Penida offers some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Indonesia and is best visited as a day trip from mainland Bali. Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, and Angel's Billabong are the island's most photographed locations. The surrounding waters are also among Bali's best snorkelling areas, with regular sightings of manta rays around Manta Point. It's an excellent activity for couples who have booked a Bali Honeymoon package with Nusa Penida as an inclusion.

Jyotshna & friends explored the majestic Lempuyang Temple (Gates of Heaven), dressed in traditional Balinese attire amidst its stunning ancient architecture, with our Best of Bali | Culture, Coast & Countryside package on a memorable Bali getaway.
Located in East Bali at around 1,175 metres above sea level, the Lempuyang Temple offers cooler temperatures and panoramic mountain views. Lempuyang Temple is one of Bali's oldest and most sacred temples and is best known for its iconic "Gate of Heaven" photo opportunity overlooking Mount Agung. The famous "water reflection" photo is actually created using a small hand-held mirror by local photographers. Queues can stretch to 3–4 hours so try to reach as early as possible

4. Experience Bali's Beaches and Water Sports

Tarun explored the vibrant underwater world while snorkelling among colorful tropical fish in Bali's crystal-clear waters, with our Best Of Bali | FREE Balinese Couple Massage package on an unforgettable 6 Days & 5 Nights getaway.
South Bali is the centre of the island's beach and water sports scene. Kuta and Canggu are ideal for beginner surfers, while Tanjung Benoa is known for parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat rides. If you’re someone open to adding adventure to your Bali tour packages, then consider spending at least one full day exploring South Bali's coastline.

5. Join a Balinese Cooking, Batik, or Silversmith Workshop

- Cooking classes: approx. INR 1,800 to INR 3,000 per person
- Duration: 4 to 5 hours

The evening Kecak Fire Dance performance, featuring dozens of performers chanting rhythmically without musical instruments, is widely regarded as one of Bali's best cultural experiences.
- Temple entry: approx. INR 300 to INR 500 per person
- Kecak Dance ticket: approx. INR 700 to INR 1,000 per person
- Show timing: around sunset (6 pm onwards)
- Recommended arrival: at least 1 hour before sunset
7. Go Whitewater Rafting on the Ayung River

Arun & family enjoyed an exciting banana boat ride across Bali's sparkling blue waters, making unforgettable memories with our Bali Tour Package on a fun-filled Bali getaway.
The Ayung River near Ubud offers Bali's most accessible rafting experience, passing through rainforest, waterfalls, and steep river valleys. The rapids are moderate, making it suitable for first-time rafters and families. Most packages come with rafting gear, equipment, a guide, and lunch.

One of our top highlights in any itinerary curated by Thrillophilia's destination expert is the right balance between sightseeing and free time across Bali. This is why our traveller Tarun Mehta from Mumbai, who booked the Essence of Bali with FREE Visit to Elephant Cave Temple package, also told us later, "We were a little nervous going to a new country for the first time but the team made the entire journey very comfortable. The itinerary gave us enough time at each place without feeling rushed. Local guides were friendly and always on time."
Best Time to Visit Bali
If you're booking a Bali tour package, knowing the best time to visit can have a significant effect on what your trip looks like.
Dry Season (April to October) - Best for Most Travellers
April to October is the dry season and the best time to visit Bali. Skies are generally clear, and humidity is lower than the rest of the year. July and August are peak months when international and domestic tourist traffic is highest, and prices are very high. April, May, and September to October offer the best combination of good weather, lower prices, and fewer crowds.
- Not Ideal for: Those looking to book budget Bali tour packages in July and August, as the accommodation prices are 20 to 40 per cent higher during peak months.
- Best for Indian travellers in the Dry Season:May and June are summer holiday months in schools, so they work well for families looking for Bali trip packages. September and October are also good times to visit because the weather stays pleasant and prices are a little lower.
Rainy Season (November to March) - Lower Prices, Some Restrictions
Thrillophilia's on-ground team confirms that there is heavy rainfall in the evenings in this season. Mornings are often clear and perfect for a day outing. Bali looks its best in the rainy season, plus accommodation prices are often 20%–30% lower. Waterfalls, rice terraces, and the lush green landscape are the most photogenic in these months.
- Not Ideal for: A few activities should be avoided in the rainy season. Our destination experts take care of your safety and often replace such activities with other options. Avoid Nusa Penida day trips because ferries may get cancelled in rough sea conditions. Mount Batur treks and cliff walks are also harder during this time because the paths can be muddy.
- Important for March Visitors: If you're on your Bali trip in March, you should be aware of Nyepi, which is the Balinese New Year. Nyepi is celebrated as a silent day; the whole island shuts down for 24 hours. The airport closes, no vehicles are allowed on roads, lights must be kept off, and outdoor movement is prohibited for the entire day. It’s a unique cultural experience, but make sure you check the exact date before booking your Bali trip package so you can plan well.
Balinese Food You Must Try

Shivani savoured a delicious Balinese smoothie bowl and refreshing tropical drink, with our Best of Bali | Culture, Coast & Countryside package on a delightful Bali getaway.
Balinese cuisine is full of rich flavours and aromatic spices, with dishes influenced by local Indonesian traditions as well as Indian and Chinese cooking. Bali has an amazing food culture, and most dishes are available in vegetarian versions on request. Here are some of the dishes that are a must-try on a trip to Bali:
- Nasi Goreng is Bali’s most common fried rice dish, and many places can make a vegetarian version if you ask.
- Mie Goreng is stir-fried noodles and is also easy to find in a vegetarian option.
- Gado-Gado is a salad with peanut sauce, tofu, tempeh, and boiled vegetables, and it is fully vegetarian.
- Tempe Manis is sweet fried tempeh and is a common vegetarian side dish.
- Babi Guling is roast pork and is one of Bali’s traditional dishes, so it is not suitable for people who do not eat pork.
- Ayam Betutu is slow-cooked spiced chicken and is not vegetarian.
- Pisang Goreng is fried banana, a simple street snack that costs around INR 20 to INR 50 per portion.
- Bubuh Injin is a black rice pudding dessert that is vegetarian and popular in cafes, especially in Ubud.
Vegetarian and Indian Food Guide in Bali
Bali is one of the most vegetarian-friendly destinations in Southeast Asia. Recent traveller feedback suggests that you will have no trouble finding vegetarian food in Ubud or Canggu.
Apart from the dishes already mentioned, some other safe vegetarian Balinese options include:
- Pisang Goreng: Fried banana fritters
- Jukut Urap: Mixed vegetable salad with coconut
- Nasi Goreng or Mie Goreng: Fried rice made without egg or meat on request
Indian Restaurants by Area:
- Seminyak: Ganesha Restaurant, Spice India, and Maharaja
- Kuta: Bollywood Masala and Indian Hut
- Ubud: Pundi Pundi (Indian-Balinese fusion) and Lotus Cafe (vegetarian-friendly menu)
- Canggu: Warung Sana Sini (strong vegetarian Balinese options)
Indian food in Bali is good and reliable, particularly in Seminyak and Kuta. Customer reviews indicate that you will find more North Indian menus than South Indian ones. Prices at Indian restaurants range from INR 400 to INR 900 per person for a full meal.
Priya N., from Pune, who booked a Highlights of Bali | Swings, Safaris and Sunset Splendors package in September 2025, mentioned in her post-trip feedback that, “I was worried as a vegetarian that Bali would be difficult. It's actually one of the easiest places in Asia for vegetarians. In Ubud, almost every cafe has a full vegetarian menu. Gado-Gado, tempeh dishes, smoothie bowls. I ate better in Ubud than I do at home. The Canggu cafes are even more vegetarian-forward."
Things to Know Before Booking Your Bali Tour Package

Hardik & his partner enjoyed an adrenaline-filled ATV ride through Bali's lush jungle trails and muddy tracks, with our Best of Bali | Culture, Coast & Countryside package on an unforgettable Bali getaway.
Here is a quick checklist for first-time travellers visiting Bali from India:
- Currency: Bali uses Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). As of 2026, 1 INR is around 185 to 187 IDR, but rates can change, so checking before travel is helpful. It is a good idea to carry some cash for local markets, small food places, and transport in Nusa Penida, where cards may not work.
- Cards and Payments: UPI does not work in Bali. International Visa and Mastercard cards are accepted in hotels, beach clubs, and larger restaurants. Keeping some cash is still useful as backup.
- Language: Balinese and Indonesian are the local languages. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas like Ubud, Seminyak, Kuta, and Nusa Dua.
- Time Difference: Bali is 2.5 hours ahead of India, which makes it easy for Indian travellers to adjust.
- Power Plug: Bali uses two-pin European plugs, so carrying a universal adapter is recommended.
- Drinking Water: Tap water is not safe to drink. Bottled water is the safer option and is easily available.
- Health: No vaccine is compulsory, but basic travel health advice from your doctor before the trip is helpful. Mosquito repellent is useful, especially in the evening.
- Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is recommended, especially if you plan to do trekking, water sports, or adventure activities.
- Temple Dress Code: Shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting temples. Sarongs are usually available at temple entrances.
- Road Delays During Ceremonies: In some areas, local ceremonies can slow traffic, so keeping extra travel time is a good idea.

Safety Advisory for Bali Travellers
- During monsoon months (November to March), heavy rain typically falls in intense afternoon and evening spells. Plan outdoor activities in the morning and indoor activities in the afternoon.
- Roads in hilly areas (Ubud, Tegallalang, and Munduk) become slippery after rain. If renting a scooter, avoid wet mountain roads at night. Road accidents from wet conditions are the most common tourist injury in Bali.
- West Coast beaches (Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu) experience stronger currents in monsoon months. Respect red flag warnings and do not swim when the flag is up.
- Waterfalls, including Tegenungan and Sekumpul, are at peak flow in the monsoon. A strong undertow makes swimming unsafe even when the water looks calm.
- Trekking trails around Mount Batur and Campuhan Ridge become muddy in the wet season. Waterproof shoes and trekking poles are recommended.
- Uluwatu monkeys are known to grab sunglasses, phones, and bags. Keep valuables secure before entering the temple area, and if you're on a family trip to Bali and visit Uluwatu, take extra care when with kids.
- Nyepi (Balinese New Year 2026) brings a full 24-hour island-wide silence. The airport closes, roads are empty, and movement outdoors is not permitted. Indian travellers must check the exact Nyepi date in the year of the visit and plan Bali packages with flights accordingly.
Bali Tour faqs
Do I need travel insurance for Bali?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended, especially if you plan to do water sports, scooter riding, or trekking. Private hospital costs in Bali at international-grade hospitals (BIMC Hospital, Kasih Ibu) can be substantial without insurance. Ensure your policy covers adventure activities, specifically if you plan to do any.
Can I use Indian credit or debit cards in Bali?
International Visa and Mastercard are accepted at hotels, beach clubs, and larger restaurants. UPI does not work in Bali. For ATM withdrawals, use a Wise or Revolut card to minimise conversion fees. Always carry some IDR cash as smaller restaurants, warungs, and transport on Nusa Penida often only accept cash.
Is there direct flight connectivity to Bali from India?
Direct flights operate from Delhi (approximately 5.5 to 6 hours, INR 8,000 to INR 18,000 one way), Mumbai (approximately 6 to 7 hours, INR 7,500 to INR 16,000), and Bangalore (approximately 5.5 to 6.5 hours, INR 7,000 to INR 15,000). Travellers from Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata connect via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur with a total journey of 9 to 13 hours.
Are Indian nationals granted a visa on arrival in Bali?
Yes, Indian passport holders get a Visa on Arrival at Denpasar Airport. The best part is that no advance application is needed. The fee is approximately INR 2,500 per person (as of June 2026). An e-Visa is also available online at the same cost if you prefer to skip the airport counter. The validity of a visa on arrival in Bali is 30 days, so Indians can travel worry-free and can enjoy a longer holiday.
What documents are required for a Bali trip from India?
You need a valid Indian passport with at least 6 months' validity from the date of entry, a return or onward flight ticket, and proof of accommodation. For the Visa on Arrival, have approximately INR 2,500 or the IDR equivalent in cash. Carry a copy of your travel insurance policy if you have one. If you plan to rent a scooter, bring your Indian driving licence and your International Driving Permit.
Which is Bali's most famous temple?
Tanah Lot is the most photographed temple and sits on a sea rock accessible on foot at low tide. Uluwatu is the most dramatic for its cliff-top setting. Pura Besakih on Mount Agung is the largest and most spiritually significant temple, called the Mother Temple of Bali.
Which is the best place to shop in Bali?
Ubud Art Market (Pasar Seni Ubud) is the best starting point for batik fabrics, carved wood, silver jewellery, and traditional crafts. Seminyak has fashion boutiques and designer home goods at fixed prices. Sukawati Market, between Ubud and Denpasar, is a wholesale market where prices are lower if you are willing to spend time negotiating.
Is Mount Batur worth it for non-trekkers?
The crater lake and sunrise view from the top are genuinely spectacular, but the trek is not for everyone. A good alternative for non-trekkers is to drive to the Kintamani caldera viewpoint, which gives you a seated restaurant view of the lake and volcano without any walking. Restaurants at the Kintamani ridge open from 9 am, and the view is best before the clouds roll in around midday.
Is it safe to hike up Mount Batur?
Yes. Mount Batur is a well-established trek, and guides are mandatory. The path is steep. The hike takes about 2 hours each way. Wear good-grip shoes or hire trekking shoes in Ubud. The trek is best avoided in the rainy season for safety reasons.
What is the difference between Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan?
These are three separate islands southeast of Bali connected by bridges (Lembongan and Ceningan) or by boat (Penida). Nusa Penida is the largest and most dramatic, with Kelingking cliff and Crystal Bay. It is the primary day trip destination from Bali. Nusa Lembongan is smaller, flatter, and more relaxed. It is popular for mangrove tours and surfing. Nusa Ceningan is the smallest and least visited of the three and most of the day trips from Bali primarily include Penida.
What is the ideal duration for a Bali trip?
5 nights is enough for a first-time trip covering Ubud and South Bali. You can add 2 more nights (7 total) if you want to include Nusa Penida. 9 to 10 nights works well for a multi-destination trip, adding Lombok or the Gili Islands.
What can you expect from a Bali 4-night 5-day package?
A 4-night 5-day package from Thrillophilia typically covers: airport transfers, 4-star accommodation in Seminyak or Kuta, an Ubud cultural tour including Tegalalang and Tirta Empul, an Uluwatu sunset visit, and one water sports session or snorkelling trip. It is enough for a first look at Bali, but it does not leave time for Nusa Penida.
