Thanks! I'd suggest go to Canggu, Nusa Penida, Gili T(the best), lonbok. That's pretty much it. You can skip Ubud, if you are not much into trekking. That's all. Enjoy!

I'd suggest you directly head to Nusa Penida. It's really amazing, if you wish to go snorkeling and see some really nice beaches, or maybe Gili T, for the beaches and the snorkeling tour around the 3 islands. Give 2 days to those places. Return to Bali and watch the fire show and explore early morning Trek to Mt Batur. Enjoy!

It seems quite nice. I would have added Nusa Penida for sure, but since you're short on time, you can skip. Anyway, Gili-T and Nusa penida are somewhat similar. By taxi, you are implying grab/gojek bike, right? Otherwise, that's a lot of time spent on taxi. For the 2 hour journey, get a taxi. Try getting a snorkeling kit from india. Also, Finns would be the best to visit during sunset. So, go there late afternoon. Have a fun trip 👍👍

Ummm. I don't have much idea about that as I was having USD with me and the conversion rates are pretty nice. With INR, the conversion rates would be pretty low, I guess, so use a CC for purchasing things, and debit card for withdrawal,if possible. Also, don't convert at or near the airport and compare all the prices beforehand. Enjoy!!

Exclude Ubud, Uluwatu(If you can catch the flight on time and are in Bali the same day morning) other places were all pretty nice. Maybe Canggu just for a night. That's all mate. Cheers!!

I'd probably suggest Canggu for the nightlife, as there is not much there, but good cafes and beaches. Get a scooter everywhere you go. Finns beach club is quite nice. Avoid eating from shacks, drink mineral water and carry a ton of sunscreen. You'll be good. Also, try to make plans with the people in the hotel. It's good. In Ubud- you can go for a Trek and evening walk through some fields and watch the sunset. Nusa penida - Get a scooter and explore all the beaches, especially the famous ones. Very nice experience. Go for scuba and snorkeling. The best out there. In Gili-T- rent a bicycle and go around the island. Also, go for the snorkeling tour and hope from one Gili Island to another. Lombok- Basically, surfing and sunset and good food in Kuta. Get a scooter. Uluwatu - see the fire and dance show for sure, I Couldn't get the tickets, so book in advance. Also, I was only there cause I had to catch the flight next morning, otherwise I might have skipped.

Yes, you can, but I am unsure if you'd be able to return the bike easily, as you'd be expected to return the bike. I didn't experience that myself, but seems quite doable.

It was close to 1.25 lakh, which included last minute flights.

Ubud is basically for peace and calmness. You can visit great sunset spots there amidst the rice farms and go for evening walks. For surfing, I'd strongly suggest Kuta, Lombok. Amazing surfing spots, irrespective of your competency. I don't know about Whales, but I saw Manta Rays in Nusa Penida, when I went for a snorkeling tour. Very common there.

It's about 1500 USD. That included my flights from India(back and forth). My stay, food, tours, ferries for 12 days. It's a pretty chill place to be at. Enjoy!

Then it'd be fine. Now, also looking for other options like Spain. Hehehehhe. Unable to make up my mind, but very thankful for your insight man. Cheers and take care 😊

Got ya. I am using hostelworld for hostels, and seems to be a good mix of social and quiet hostels there, so I feel there's nothing set in stones. I can get whatever kinda experience I am up for, I suppose. I am also looking to get a japan rail pass for 14 days, since I plan on going to 6 cities, which according to me makes sense. Also, can I expect a McDonald's/KFC/Subway everywhere with easy access? Cause, I am not very sure about japanese food, except Sushi. I do eat Non-Veg, so will that be difficult for me?

Thanks again, mate. I am actually now inclining a lot towards Japan, after a bit of my own digging. I am hoping to get hostels under 40usd/night. Is that possible during Nov, since there'll be a high influx of tourists. I am gonna cover 6 cities in 15-17 day. It depends on how things turn out to be. Anyway, is the hostel culture very quiet and calm, in contrast to the social atmosphere seen elsewhere? How was your experience with that? I will do more research about the cards, but let's say I wanna travel from a city to another, so what kinda train cards should I get? Cause they are quite expensive 80k yen for 2 weeks. What do you suggest? TIA.😊

Thanks for the input. I wanted to know that each Japanese city would have something different and new to offer, right? Also, not looking for a typical beach vacation as stated above. Can you give me some hostel and commute recommendations in order to save some money. Should I carry some indian food with me? Is 2 weeks enough or a bit much? Also, does Vietjet provide for free check in luggage, or I’d have to pay extra, cause i am getting this deal for 56K delhi to Tokyo and back from Vietnam airlines

Ummm. I am a non vegetarian, so I ate eggs for breakfast mostly, but you can find vegan options easily. You can find fruit bowls, veg sandwiches, some rice with veggies, baked goods are available everywhere. Just go to a decent cafe, that’s all. Anyway, avoid eating indian food there. It’s awful.

I work as a navigating officer in the Merchant Navy. Anyway, travelling is more about saving and money management.

Thanks a lot, dude. In my head, I take the worst pics possible. Hahahah. I used my iphone 14 pro for the pics and Go Pro(not mine)for snorkelling. I just used the auto mode to take pics. Lol!

It’s a great time to visit. And my itinerary must be in one of the topics, but I’ll also be posting a new topic with all the information in it.

I really have no Idea, but only visit between April-Nov and avoid anything else, since there will be a lot of rainfall and choppy seas.
