10 Tips for Your First Trip to Bali

Bali is a dream destination for many travelers. To make your first trip smooth, keep a few things in mind.

First, the best time to visit is April–October during the dry season. Second, hire a local guide for a deeper experience — many hidden gems are not on the tourist map.

When visiting temples, wear a sarong and sash, and respect ongoing ceremonies. Finally, bargain politely at traditional markets and try local dishes like babi guling and lawar.
