Bali, Indonesia Trip Planner — 7-Day Itinerary

Overview

Bali packs an unusual range of experiences into a small island — surf beaches in the south, rice terraces and waterfalls in the centre, and quieter volcanic landscapes up north. Most first-time visitors split their week between Ubud (culture, jungle, rice fields), Seminyak or Canggu (beach clubs, cafés, sunsets), and Uluwatu (cliffs, temples, world-class surf).

It's also one of the better value long-haul destinations for Indian travellers — direct flights from major metros, visa-on-arrival, and daily costs that stay reasonable even at mid-range hotels.

Highlights

• 📍 Sunrise trek up Mount Batur
• 📍 Tegallalang rice terraces near Ubud
• 📍 Uluwatu Temple at sunset with a Kecak fire dance
