Bali Travel Essentials

• Ideal Duration: 6–7 days (We did 5, but it felt rushed!)

• Avoid: Drinking tap water as it can cause Bali Belly. Stick to bottled water always.

• Must-Have Apps:
Grab / Gojek – for local transport
12Go – for ferry and intercity bookings
Rome2Rio – for figuring out how to get around

• Connectivity: eSIM from Palego.com (Activate at Denpasar airport using Wi-Fi)

• Cash Tip: Withdraw directly from BCA ATMs at the airport. ₹100 fee per withdrawal at Indonesian ATMs. I used my Jupiter debit card to avoid the forex markup fees.

• Local Commute: Rented a scooter just outside Denpasar airport.Read more
