When to Go And Visit Bali

Indonesia is located in the equator line — it has two seasons, dry season during April to October with July and August is usually the perfect time to go when the sun shines everyday. The rest of that sometimes humid & cloudy — yet still good for holiday (because rain often pour during the night and sun shines again in the morning :) ). Visit the weather forecast for this reasons.

Many of Indonesian students visit Bali during July and August where they have "promotion of class". In the same months, European and Australian have summer or school holiday. Other month is around Christmas and New Year when many Indonesian from other areas visit Bali for Christmas holiday. During this high and peak season, most of hotels and some activities such as car rental will charge additional fee so called High Season or Peak Season surcharge.

Most of local festivals and ceremonies in Bali is calculated using traditional calendar. Annual Bali Art Festivals takes place in July/August, Nyepi Holiday (no activities allowed, including no lamps, no traffic or flight) occurs once a year, Galungan and Kuningan is twice a year. Check calendar of events for such ceremonies as well as temple festivals.
