Saga Holiday
Tips For Travel To Bali – Bali is a very famous holiday destination for those looking for a memorable getaway.
However, even while on vacation, it is good to be mindful of certain customs and traditions to enjoy yourself and have others enjoy themselves too. Some safety tips should also be kept in mind.
So, here are a few tips for when you travel to Bali:

Respect Religious Customs
In Bali, religion reigns supreme. Don’t get your knickers in a bunch if a roadway is closed for a ritual or your driver stops in the middle of a journey to make a blessing — this is part of the island’s charm.
If your travel dates coincide with Nyepi, when everything in Bali, even the airport, closes for the day, plan accordingly, dress modestly with your shoulders and knees covered, and behave appropriately when visiting temples and sacred sites.
Maintain Caution With Wild Animals
Give wild and stray animals plenty of space. Although they appear cute, rabies and other diseases are a severe threat in Bali, and monkeys are known for their thievery. The number of stray dogs in Bali is significant, and they are generally in poor condition.
Make a “doggy donation” to Bali Dog Refuge, which works to rescue and rehabilitate the island’s stray pups, if you want to make a difference.
Crowded Areas
In non-pandemic periods, Bali, as one of the world’s most visited islands, is hardly a pristine paradise.
It can be tough to get away from the crowds in southern Bali and Ubud. Still, dedicated solitude seekers will be delighted to discover a plethora of isolated spots outside these main tourist destinations.
Head to Bali’s middle mountains or the island’s more laid-back north and west coasts.
Varying Prices
You may still visit Bali on a shoestring budget by living in guesthouses, eating at warungs, and buying at local markets, but you can also waste your entire life savings.
Drinks, dinners, spa services, and hotel room rates are comparable to those in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. To keep your financial account pleased, look for internet discounts and happy hour offers.
Discourage the Use Of Plastic Bottles
The heat and humidity of Bali necessitate continuous hydration but think about the environment before buying another bottled beverage.
Plastic debris washes up on Bali’s beaches in large quantities, with local authorities reporting that during the monsoon season, they remove up to 60 tonnes every day.
Invest in a stainless steel bottle that you can refill to help minimize this figure; most reputable cafes and restaurants offer a water filter that you can use for free or for a modest price.
Abide By The Law
The Indonesian legal system may appear perplexing and inconsistent, but it’s better not to fight with cops if you’re accused of an offense that feels wrong and to pay fines gracefully.
Expect no preferential treatment because you’re a foreigner, and it goes without saying that dealing with narcotics is a poor idea.
