When you think to plan for a foreign trip, the first place which comes in your mind that is Bali. Bali is really a pocket-friendly foreign trip for the Indians. Nowadays Bali attracts mostly the young crowd. Bali is not only for honeymoon couples, but you can also explore with your family and friends. But most importantly you have to preplan almost everything to make your trip smooth, worry less, and enjoyable. But don’t worry about it, my blog will definitely help you to check out this place without mess.

After arriving at Bali airport, your first work is to exchange money and buy a sim card. But my suggestion is that if it is possible to exchange money from your home town then do this because that will be the best. But outside the airport, you can get better value rather than the inside shops at the Airport. So exchange a very small amount of money at the airport to buy a sim card and pay a bill for the cab from the airport to your hotel. Outside the airport, you can easily rent a cab to reach your hotel, so not to worry about it.

There are two parts in Bali — Ubud and Kuta. My suggestion is to go Ubud first then explore Kuta. I also did this. And most of the tourists did this.

DAY — 1

This is your first morning in Bali. After eating your breakfast just step out from the hotel to explore Bali. First day morning you have to rent a car or a scooter. You can rent a car with a driver also. Be aware when you rent vehicles. Don’t submit your passport to the renter and take the pictures of the vehicles when they delivering you. But the local people are too good, they don’t break your trust.

LEMPUYANG TEMPLE ( GATES OF HEAVEN )

My first destination is to Lempuyang Temple which also known as Gates of heaven. The beauty of this place attracts the tourists. There is an iconic Bali gate, which you have already seen in many pictures of Bali. Inside the gate, you can take photos. The temple has its own local people who capture your photos.

VIRGIN BEACH

Returning from the temple, You can go to visit Virgine Beach. This beach is less crowded and you can enjoy the nature along with the Pacific Ocean. You can’t imagine the beauty of this place until you go there.

Your first day trip to Bali ends here. After returning to the hotel you can explore Ubud and check out the delicious Balinese food — Nasi Goreng and Mi Goreng.

DAY — 2

MOUNT BATUR VOLCANO TOUR

You have to book a full day for the Mount Batur tour. It is an active volcano. Under the volcano, there is a temple named, Agung Pasar Temple. This temple was built by the lava stone. Last time it erupted in 2000. That time lava covered the temple. Trust me, It is a lifetime experience to stand towards an active volcano. There is a beautiful lake inside the volcano. This lake is basically a natural hot spring.

Agung Pasar Temple ( active volcano is just behind the temple )

Just take a side of the volcano — lake, let’s explore the ultimate beauty of this place. The exotic beauty of this place really steals your heart. You don’t want to leave this place. Before leaving this place, just take at least one cup of coffee here and enjoy the timelapse.

Ubud Market

Never skip to visite Ubud Market. If you love to do shopping then this place is for you. Ubud special handcraft items, dresses, bags, shoes, jewelry, and many more things are available here at a very cheap price. But bargaining is very very important. After a hectic day, a delicious dinner is must. I recommend Bebek Benjil restaurant. The foods along with the ambiance will give you the ultimate flavor of the Ubud.

DAY — 3

Tegalalang Rice Terrace

Let’s start your third day in Bali by exploring the Tegalalang Rice Terrace along with authentic sunrise. You have seen many photos of this rice terrace on the social media site and when you will see this place on your own eyes, that’s really unbelievable moments. Wait! before leaving this place please taste the mango juice from here. It’s really refreshing.

Tibumana Waterfalls

After Tegalalang Rice Terrace, you can visit Tibumana waterfalls. I’m highly recommended this place. This waterfall is really awesome. You can take a bath here, and there is a changing room also.

Visiting all these places, now its time to say goodbye to Ubud. And let’s start your journey to Kuta, the ultimate beats of Bali. Kuta is famous for parties, pubs, and pleasure. Here also, you have to rent a scooter or car like Ubud.

Your third day ends here. But you can enjoy the nightlife of Kuta, especially in Legian road. You can go for a walk and enjoy the nightlife. But Kuta is also famous for the prostitution business, so be aware of that.

DAY — 4

NUSA PENIDA

Nusa Penida is the most beautiful island situated in Bali. You can spend one or two days here or you can book a day trip. After arriving at Kuta, first I rented a scooter then booked my Nusa Penida tour. There are many agencies in Kuta. You can get the best deal after comparing a few agencies. But my friend, bargaining also works here.

I have already booked my Nusa Penida trip, so on the fourth day morning, I started for the most beautiful island, Nusa Penida by speed boat. Nusa Penida is a place of adventure, is a place of core nature.

Kelingking Beach

God has created each and every corner of this place by God’s own hands. You can’t take off your eyes from this place. Its beauty can’t explain by any words.

You can go to the beach through a dangerous trekking. It will take time for almost 3 hours.

Angle Bilabal & Broken Beach

These two places show the real beauty of the Pacific Ocean. The blue water adds a stone to its beauty.

Crystal Beach

Crystal beach is the most attractive beach in Nusa Penida. You can take a bath on this beach.

DAY — 5

Water Sports

On your fifth day, you can save time for water sports. In Kuta beach and Seminyak beach, you can find many water sports agencies.

Tanha Lot Temple

After water sports, you can visit the great Tanha Lot Temple. This temple is situated on the beach. This is the place of enjoying the sunset. A traditional folk dance-drama regarding our Ramayana performers here every evening. You can enjoy dance along with the exotic sunset.

Legian Road for Party

If you are a party lover then Kuta is for you. Returning from Tanha Lot, you can go to the Legian Road and enjoy the nightlife. There are many clubs, pubs, and restaurants, where you can go and enjoy the party. If you don’t want to go to any pubs or restaurants, you can walk on the street and enjoy the nightlife.

DAY — 6

On your sixth day, you can visit Kuta Beach, Jimbaran Beach. If you are a seafood lover then never forget to visit Seminyak Beach.

Ulu Watu Temple

This is the last destination in Bali. The sunset at this place is really unforgettable.

Bali is a place where you want to go many times. On your Seven days tour in Bali, you can visit many places but many places will be still unexplored. So, save time and money to visit Bali again.
