Question 1

What time will be best for a vacation in Bali?

Accepted Answer

The weather in Bali remains more or less pleasant throughout the year, the best time to visit Bali depends mainly on the specific weather and on high and low season. High season is during the months of July and August, during Easter Holidays, Late December and early January due to Christmas and New Year when party lovers from all over the world assemble here. These are the busiest times in Bali.

However, for many other reasons, a lot of people prefer and say that best time to come to Bali is between April, May, June, and September. That is, just before and just after high season. The weather then is still dry, the level of humidity is slightly less, and economically speaking room prices and villa rentals can be a lot cheaper than during what you will find in the high season.

Incidentally, these months are also the best time to indulge in water sports and activities that Bali is known for. Waters are clear and since the place is low on the crowd, you will get to avail the best deals.

Question 2

What are the essential items one must pack while travelling to Bali?

Accepted Answer

While packing for your trip to Bali, the best advice one can give you is to pack light. You need to find that delicate balance between packing light and making sure you have everything you need. The best thing about this place is that you are sure to get the things you may have forgotten in the island, and for as cheap as you will find in India. Here are some of the things that you must carry:

Toiletries – toothbrush, paste, deodorants, tampons or sanitary napkins for women, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, shaving items, hairbrush, sunscreen, lotion, cleanser, moisturizer
Medicines that you may need
Hand sanitizer
Sunglasses
Sea sickness tablets (just in case)
Mosquito repellant
Camera
Phone charger, electronic adapter
Headphones
Documents as needed

Here is a recommendation of the types of clothes you should carry:

Cotton clothing is your savior – never forget. Cotton and linen are good lightweight choices as they let your skin breathe in Bali’s tropical humidity that will greet you.
Good quality, lightweight, and breathable walking shoes are a must pack. Flip-flops provide more freedom and so you can carry a pair of those for the beaches. The breathable walking shoes score more on comfort, support, and protection.
A fleece or hoodie is great in case of cold evenings or if you’re in a heavily air-conditioned environment like airports, airplanes or minivans. Also, they work well as an impromptu pillow.
A quick drying towel is a super useful and multipurpose item – and it packs away to a tiny size. Similarly, a sarong is useful as a beach wrap, towel, and blanket and for general lounging around. They can also be used to cover yourself while visiting temples and holy sites.
Socks, long maxi dresses, kaftans, skirts or trousers are essential for wearing at dusk when the mood is relaxed. This is also the time when the mosquitoes are most active – you want to make sure you’re covered up to avoid getting bitten.
Bring several bikinis or swimsuits (pack according to your comfort). Carry both, so you can alternate between them and avoid any skin rashes from the salt water.
A big hat to keep the sun off, and for covering your face during the occasional naps on the beach while sunbathing.
If you’re traveling to Bali in monsoon season (that is anywhere between October to April), be prepared for heavy downpours. Of course, there will be still plenty of sunshine, but when it rains; it really rains. Therefore, a lightweight hooded waterproof jacket, raincoats or umbrellas that you can stash in your bag are a good idea. Also, remember to keep your phone and other valuable items waterproofed – wrapping them in a plastic bag will do at a pinch. Ziploc bags are a more durable option.
