The Bali Spirit Festival is a yoga and wellness-focused festival held annually in Ubud. You can join sessions led by world-renowned yoga instructors and spiritual gurus. It’s a family-friendly event that offers programs for all ages and across all yoga skill levels. This event is usually held in April or May.

There’s also Nyepi Day or “Day of Silence.” It’s a New Year’s Day occasion for the Balinese Hindus. However, unlike typical New Year’s Day celebrations, this holiday is 24 hours of silence, fasting, and meditation.

What are some must-visit attractions or landmarks in Bali?

To name a few, the Saraswati Temple in Ubud is a site to behold. Its stone carvings, tranquil lotus ponds, and traditional Balinese architecture give you a glimpse of what beauty Bali has to offer.

The Tegallalang Rice Terraces is also a splendor to the eyes. It gives you the most stunning views of the sunrise and the sunset.

There, you can learn the process of making the famous local coffee and take a sip while setting sights on the beautiful Balinese countryside.

If you want to take a more adventurous route, a sunrise hike at Mount Batur is also one for the books. Reach its summit and enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and be in awe of its volcanic crater lake.

What are some off-the-beaten-path activities or hidden gems in Bali?

Looking to explore less touristy destinations? You can head to the mountain village of Munduk. With its lesser-known rice terraces and refreshing waterfalls, it’s surely an escape from the crowded places.

If you want to be near the coast, a visit to Nusa Penida is also great for a day trip. Enjoy the clear waters and white sandy beaches, you can even go snorkeling and diving on this exotic island.

What is the local language spoken, and how widely is English understood?

In Bali, Balinese and Bahasa-Indonesia are the local languages. English is widely used and spoken in tourist-rich areas, and in areas where it’s not, no need to worry because most locals have a basic knowledge of English.

What are some local dishes or foods I must try while visiting?

There are plenty of mouthwatering local dishes you should try but here are some of our top picks:

Nasi Campur or mixed rice allows you to taste a variety of Balinese cuisine with its included side dishes. You can also try Lawar, a salad that combines meat or vegetables with grated coconut and a delectable spice mix.

If you prefer meat-based dishes, Bebek Betutu is a dish with marinated duck that’s slow-cooked or roasted to a flavorful perfection. You can also get a chicken version of this dish called Ayam Betutu.

Sate Lilit, is also a must-try. It’s a marinated meat-on-a-stick dish made of minced pork or chicken combined with a spice paste, grated coconut, and other spices.

What are some etiquette tips to follow when interacting with locals?

Tourists are expected to dress in modest clothing in public places. Especially when you’re visiting a temple or other religious sites, your clothes must cover your shoulders and knees. A sarong is a great option and these are often included in the ticket price when you visit a temple. You may also wear a long skirt or pants with blouses or shirts.

For gestures, for example, pointing to someone to get their attention is considered rude, instead, you may use a friendly wave to beckon someone.

Overall, being open-minded and respectful will make your experience more enjoyable.

What is the tipping culture like in Bali?

Tipping is not mandatory in Bali, but some restaurants and accommodations may include a service charge in your bill. Aside from this, paying a little extra when receiving good service is always appreciated.

What other insights or tips should I know about when traveling in Bali?

You can pay with major credit cards in most tourist areas and large businesses (Visa and Mastercard are the most accepted).

There are also plenty of ATMs and currency exchange shops throughout the island, however, we recommend always having some cash on hand (Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)), especially when making small purchases.
