Are you planning to visit Bali? You are not alone because Bali is the most toured Island on earth. That said, if you are planning your next trip, there are things you need to have in mind. This comes out of touring the Bali 5 times. Let dive right in?
Expect a Large Crowd
A lot of tourists travel to Bali every year. The number is not going to reduce anytime soon. For instance, if you want to visit southern Bali and Ubud, you will find throngs of people in that area. If you are a solitude seeker and you need a secluded place, stay away from southern Bali and Ubud. Alternatively, you can chill out in the central mountains or north and west coast of Bali.
- Dress for the Occasion
Bali is not like America or Europe where you can dress the way you want. A lot of high-end bars, restaurants, and clubs would require you to put on a decent cloth for the occasion. If you are not sure whether the place you want to visit permits beachwear, always call ahead to avoid embarrassment.
- Respect religious customs
Balinese people love their religion so much. When you see the street blocked off for a ceremony don’t get upset. Or when you see your driver pull over just to make a blessing be considerate. That’s because it is part of their religious customs. That said, if you want to avoid such an occasion plan your trip very well. Don’t travel during the month of Nyepi when things in Bali shuts down. Besides that, make sure you dress modestly. Your clothes should cover your shoulder and knees when visiting holy temples and other religious sites.
- Be Aware of Cautious & Stray Animals
It’s no secret that some stray animals in Bali look cute. One thing you should never forget is that these animals are a serious risk. Some of them may have rabies or other diseases. Second, stay alert because monkeys are known for randomly stealing things from by-passers. Most Bali’s stray dogs are often in poor health. If you are a person who wants to make a difference, you can also make a donation to Bali Dog Refuge which rehabilitates stray pups in the island.
Bonus Lesson: Low season means rainy season
Here is the kicker. If you plan to visit Bali during the low season like January to April and October to November expect the rain. That means, chances of you spending your holiday indoors are very high. Sometimes you may wonder whether it was all worth it to make a trip there. The good news is, the rain is limited and they occur during the afternoon. That said, you shouldn’t write off your holiday.
