When to go

Read up on Balinese customs and beliefs to avoid enormous offence. Some ceremonies and sacred places admit women at specific times only. When visiting temples you MUST wear a sarong and sash (available at entrance).

Apr-Oct is dry season, mid Oct-Mar is wet season but ‘the’ Bali season is Jul-Sep and Aug is party time central.
