A trip to Bali is a trip to a tropical paradise, comparable, perhaps, to a real fairy tale. The gentle ocean and spectacular sunsets have always attracted guests from all over the world.
Unfortunately, a package tour to Bali is a rather expensive pleasure and the prices for such a vacation are very "bite". But today there is an opportunity to organize an independent holiday in Bali. There are several advantages to such a "wild" holiday: quite affordable prices, excellent nature and visa processing immediately upon arrival.
We buy tickets
Bali is operated by the following airlines: Etihad Airways; AirAsia; Qatar Airways; Emirates. The average price of a roundtrip flight is approximately $ 700. The final cost will depend on the chosen airline and the number of connections.
Booking a hotel or private house
If you need to save money, then the reservation must be made before departure. In this case, this cost item can be cut by almost half.
If you wish, you can rent a small house from local residents. But there are several significant risks here: there is a high probability that the owner will turn out to be a dishonest person; the house may be "inhabited" by bedbugs (in this case, you can forget about rest). It is also better to deal with renting housing in the private sector in advance, using proven services.
Required documents
The required package of documents is small. If you stay on the island no longer than a month, then you do not need to apply for a visa. Although it can be delivered after arriving in Bali. If you plan to indulge yourself with local beauties longer, then it is advisable to immediately buy a visa. Its price will be $ 35. A residence permit is valid for two months, then the visa can be extended.
It is imperative to take out insurance, since medical services in Bali are very expensive. And, of course, a passport.
Some useful tips and tricks
To make your trip truly budgetary, you should use the recommendations of professional “savages”:
- Tickets must be purchased in advance, at least six months before the intended trip. There are many services on the Internet that monitor the flights of the world's leading airlines.
- We also book a room in the hotel in advance using the Internet services.
- To move around the island, it is best to use a rented car or bike. This will solve all problems.
“Tasty and cheap” is what can be said about local cafes and warungs. This frees up cash that can be spent on entertainment.
When choosing a start date for your trip to Bali, you should not give up the rainy season. This is the period from November to March. Prices on the island at this time are falling, and there are much fewer tourists. Many people mistakenly think that the rains do not stop during this period. Precipitation occurs at night and in the morning. They do not carry cold with them.
