Flights from India to Bali
Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) receives flights from several Indian cities. Most are one-stop via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok — but IndiGo and Air India now offer direct seasonal flights from Mumbai and Delhi during peak season. One-stop flights via Air Asia (KL) or Singapore Airlines (SIN) are often the best value.
| Route | Duration | Cheapest return fare | Best airline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai → Bali (DPS) | 6–9h (1 stop) | ₹14,000–22,000 | AirAsia / IndiGo |
| Delhi → Bali (DPS) | 7–11h (1 stop) | ₹15,000–25,000 | Air Asia / Singapore Airlines |
| Bangalore → Bali | 8–12h (1 stop) | ₹16,000–24,000 | AirAsia / Batik Air |
| Chennai → Bali | 7–10h (1 stop) | ₹13,000–21,000 | AirAsia / Malaysia Airlines |
| Hyderabad → Bali | 8–12h (1 stop) | ₹15,000–23,000 | AirAsia / SilkAir |
Book 6–10 weeks ahead for the best fares. Avoid flying during Indian school holidays (May, October) and Christmas–New Year when prices spike 40–60%.
Bali visa for Indian passport holders
Indian passport holders get Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport. It costs IDR 500,000 (approximately ₹2,600) and allows a 30-day stay, extendable once for another 30 days. You'll need a return flight ticket and proof of accommodation for at least the first night. There's a dedicated VOA counter at the airport — expect a 20–45 minute queue on busy evenings. You can also apply for an e-VOA online before travel at molina.imigrasi.go.id which saves time at the airport.
Best time to visit Bali from India
Bali's dry season (April to October) is ideal. May, June, and September are the sweet spot — great weather, lower prices than peak July–August, and fewer crowds. The wet season (November to March) brings afternoon rain showers but the island stays green, beautiful, and significantly cheaper. December and January are peak season — book everything 3–4 months ahead. April is ideal for Indian travellers escaping summer heat.

Currency & money tips for Indian travellers
The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) is the local currency. 1 INR ≈ 170 IDR. Withdraw cash from ATMs in Bali (widely available in Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud) — most charge ₹250–400 per withdrawal so take out larger amounts less frequently. PT Tiara or PT Central Kuta money changers give the best exchange rates; avoid airport changers. Most restaurants and hotels accept Visa/Mastercard but small warungs, temples, and markets are cash only.
Is Bali vegetarian-friendly for Indians?
Absolutely. Bali has a large Hindu population and vegetarian food is genuinely easy to find everywhere. Gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), nasi goreng with vegetables, tempeh dishes, jackfruit curries, and fresh coconut water are on every menu. Ubud in particular has excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurants — Sayuri Healing Food and Alchemy are popular with Indian travellers. You can eat incredibly well without ever touching meat.
Top tips specifically for Indian travellers in Bali
Carry your passport at all times — police checkpoints exist on the roads between towns. Bali is a Hindu island — you'll feel culturally familiar in many ways, especially around temple customs and festivals. Download Grab for taxis; negotiate the price before getting into a non-metered vehicle. Bali gets hot and humid — pack light cotton clothes and a light rain jacket. Sunscreen is expensive in Bali — bring enough from India. And carry a small bag of medicine: basic antacids, ORS sachets, and antihistamines just in case.
