Practical guides and checked advice to plan a trip to Bali: seasons, itineraries, budget and getting around.

No eSIM owns a network: it borrows an Indonesian carrier’s. That carrier, and nothing else, decides whether you have signal across Bali.

Sekumpul, Tukad Cepung, Banyumala, Nungnung: what each waterfall costs, how much effort it demands, and the exact hour you need to be there.

Cliffs and manta rays on one side, a flat lagoon and turtles on the other: an honest comparison to choose between Nusa Penida and the Gili Islands.

Scooter, Grab, private driver, bus: what each option costs, where it actually works, and the licence rule that tightened in April 2026.

Accommodation, food, scooter, entrance fees, visa: what fourteen days in Bali really costs, item by item, in rupiah and euros, for three ways of travelling.

Seminyak, Canggu, Ubud, the Bukit, Sanur: what each Bali area actually gives you, who it suits, and how many bases to plan for the length of your trip.

A 14-day route through Bali and Lombok, stage by stage: real transfer times, the boat crossing, the Rinjani trek, and the planning mistakes to avoid.

Dry season, rainy season, crowds and Nyepi: Bali month by month with real rainfall, temperature and sea figures — and the month that actually suits your trip.
