SOME ADVICE :
Travel light
In Bali, there is no dress code. You only need to have : 3 T-shirts, two shorts, 1 swimsuit, 1 jeans, a sweatshirt and a wind breaker that’s enough! For the temples, in all cases, you should wrap a sarong around you. Cropped trousers is nice in the evening. It reduces the landing surface for mosquitoes.
The summer temperature in Bali down to 22-24° C at night, on the heights of the island. A sweater is useful for those who climb Mount Batur in the morning at 4 o’clock, it will also be very useful in the plane, 30% of our customers come in with a sore throat, victims of air planes.
For the feet: the best shoes is a sandal, but MUST a sandal held by a strap to the back of the heel. All sports brands sell it. Choose washable material (water jet). Rice fields are muddy.
For accessories: a small shoulder bag or backpack for everyone – it will transport the water bottle (preferably bring your water bottles, not to add plastic on the island), the sarong, and camera equipment. You also need strong protection sunglasses and beach towel (quick dry).
