Things to do in Bali
Our picks, with what each one costs and how long it takes.
Uluwatu Temple & Kecak dance
A sea temple on a 70-metre cliff where the Kecak fire dance is performed at sunset against the Indian Ocean. Book the 18:00 slot and arrive an hour early for a seat.
Check tickets & tours →Tegalalang Rice Terraces
Sculpted emerald terraces north of Ubud, best at 07:00 before the tour buses and the heat. Small donations are expected at each viewpoint along the walking path.

₹3,500–₹5,000 · full day
Nusa Penida day trip
Fast boat to the T-Rex shaped cliff at Kelingking, Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach. A long, bumpy day — skip it if the sea is rough or you get seasick.
Check tickets & tours →Mount Batur sunrise trek
A 02:00 start for a two-hour climb up an active volcano, reaching the rim as the sun comes up over Lake Batur. Moderate fitness, proper shoes, and a torch.
Check tickets & tours →
₹1,200–₹4,000 · 2 hours
Balinese massage & spa
Two hours of massage, flower bath and scrub costs a fraction of Indian spa prices. Ubud and Seminyak have the best-regarded places; book a day ahead in season.
Check tickets & tours →📍 Where to Go
- Seminyak / Canggu — beach clubs, cafés, surf. The social base.
- Ubud — rice terraces, temples, yoga and jungle. Cooler and greener.
- Uluwatu / Bukit — clifftop temples and the best surf breaks.
- Nusa Penida / Lembongan — dramatic day trips by fast boat.
🎯 Things to Do
- Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu temple at sunset
- Kelingking Beach viewpoint on Nusa Penida
- Sunrise trek up Mount Batur
- Tegalalang rice terraces and a swing
- Balinese massage and spa afternoon
🚌 Transportation
There is no public transport worth using. Hire a car with driver for around ₹3,000–₹4,000 a full day — this is the standard way to cover Bali and far better value than several taxis. Gojek and Grab scooters are cheapest for short hops but are banned in some tourist areas. Traffic is severe: Seminyak to Ubud can take two hours for 35 km, so plan two areas rather than daily commutes.
🍽️ Best Restaurants
Warungs serve nasi campur and mie goreng for ₹150–₹300; cafés in Canggu and Ubud charge Western prices. Try babi guling (suckling pig) and bebek betutu — though note Bali is Hindu and beef is uncommon, unlike the rest of Indonesia. Vegetarian and vegan food is exceptionally easy here. Drink only bottled water, including for brushing teeth.
🏨 Best Hotels
Seminyak for restaurants and beach clubs, Canggu for a younger crowd and surf, Ubud for nature and wellness, Uluwatu for clifftop luxury, Sanur for families and calm water. Villas with private pools are often cheaper than hotels for groups.
🛡️ Safety & Travel Tips
Generally very safe. Watch for: scooter accidents (the top cause of tourist injury — wear a helmet, and check your travel insurance covers two-wheelers), monkey theft at Uluwatu and the Monkey Forest, and card-skimming at standalone ATMs. Rip currents are strong on the west coast; swim between the flags. Do not touch or feed the monkeys.
