Checked
When you book. ₹5,000 booking fee to confirm the booking. It counts towards your trip total; it is not an extra charge. It is non-refundable (see section 10 of the Cancellation & Refund Policy).
Between the 7th and the 10th day after booking. Enough to bring what you have paid up to 50% of your trip total. This pays for your hotels, and for your visa if we are arranging it or it is included in your package.
30 days before you travel. The rest of your trip total.
Flights, only if you ask us to help with them: paid in full when we book the tickets, at the fare on that day. Flight payments are separate from the instalments above and are not part of your trip total.
Booking 45 days or less before you travel? The gaps are shorter. The full schedule is in our payment terms, and what happens if plans change is in our cancellation and refund policy.
Read it through at your own pace. If you would change anything, tell your curator at the end.
Day 1
The direct flight from Delhi takes about eight hours. Keep the first day easy: check in, rest, and walk down to the beach for Seminyak's sunset.
Arrival
Land at Bali's airport (Denpasar) and transfer to your hotel in Seminyak.
Afternoon
Check in and rest.
Evening
Sunset on the beach and an easy dinner nearby.
Day 2
A full day out by fast boat to Nusa Penida, the island off Bali's south-east coast, for the Kelingking cliff viewpoint. The path down to the beach below is steep and rough; the view from the top is the classic one.
Morning
Fast boat from Bali to Nusa Penida.
Midday
Kelingking cliff tour and its viewpoint.
Evening
Fast boat back to Bali and on to Seminyak.
Day 3
No plan today. Seminyak is for the beach, its cafés and boutiques, and another sunset by the sea.
Morning
Slow breakfast and time on the beach.
Afternoon
Free time for Seminyak's cafés and shops.
Evening
Sunset and dinner by the beach.
Day 4
Leave the coast for Ubud, Bali's green, cooler heart, about an hour to an hour and a half by road. Settle into your pool villa; the Tegallalang rice terraces are a short drive north if you want to see them.
Morning
Check out and drive to Ubud.
Afternoon
Check in to your Ubud pool villa.
Evening
Dinner in Ubud town.
Day 5
Start with the floating breakfast served in your villa's pool, then a free day in Ubud: its market, cafés and the lotus pond at the Saraswati temple are all in the town centre.
Morning
Floating breakfast in your villa's pool (included).
Afternoon
Free time in Ubud town: the market and the Saraswati temple.
Evening
A quiet evening at the villa.
Day 6
The Gili Islands are not in Bali: they lie off Lombok, about two hours by fast boat. Gili Trawangan has no cars or motorbikes, so you walk or cycle. In the afternoon, snorkel around Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, whose underwater statues are a common stop.
Morning
Transfer to the harbour and take the fast boat to Gili Trawangan.
Afternoon
Snorkelling at Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno (included).
Evening
Sunset on Gili Trawangan's west coast.
Day 7
Take the morning fast boat back to Bali and transfer to the airport for your flight. Allow for the two-hour crossing and the road to the airport when you choose a flight time.
Morning
Fast boat from Gili Trawangan back to Bali.
Afternoon
Transfer to the airport (Denpasar).
Departure
Fly home.
Trip Complete
Memories made, photos taken, hearts full.
A slower pace, another night somewhere, a different hotel, a day you would rather skip. Write it here in your own words, then plan it with your curator: four short questions, and a person reworks the trip with you.
0/300
Indian passport holders get Indonesia's visa on arrival for 30 days, extendable once for another 30, or can apply online before flying as an e-VOA. You need a passport valid for at least 6 months and a return or onward ticket. Every traveller must also file the All Indonesia arrival card online, at no charge, within 3 days before arriving, and pay Bali's tourist levy.
April to October, Bali's dry season, is the easiest time for beaches, the Nusa Penida day out and the boat to the Gili Islands. November to March is the wet season: still warm, with heavier, shorter downpours.
About eight hours direct from Delhi. Flights from Mumbai usually make one stop and take about nine hours or more.
Yes for a first visit. Seven days covers Seminyak's beaches, a day on Nusa Penida, Ubud and a night on the Gili Islands. Add nights in Ubud or on the Gilis if you want more slow days.
No. Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air lie off Lombok, the island east of Bali, about two hours by fast boat. There are no cars or motorbikes on them; you walk, cycle or take a horse cart.
