What I Loved, and What I Didn’t On My Bali Trip From India: An Honest Guide

Alright, time for the honest part. Because while Bali is incredible in many ways, there were a few things that genuinely bothered me.

The traffic in Bali can be insane. Many of the roads were never designed for the number of visitors the island gets today.

If you’re considering a Bali trip from India, the good news is that planning it is fairly simple. Flights from major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai connect easily to Denpasar International Airport.

One of the easiest parts of planning the trip is the Bali visa for Indians. Indian travellers can get a Visa on Arrival (VOA) in Indonesia, which allows you to stay for up to 30 days.

You simply apply when you arrive at the airport, pay the fee, and you’re good to go. Just make sure your passport has at least six months validity from your date of travel.

If you’ve been thinking about taking that Bali trip from India, I can tell you this much, it’s an experience worth having at least once in your lifetime. Want the Bali holiday of your dreams? See all Bali trips from India by Cox and Kings here!
