When to fly to Bali
Peak season:
Most travellers take cheap flights to Bali during the dry season (June through September) and for Christmas.

The weather is hot, but not as humid as during the wet season.
Off season:
The wet season (October to March) is generally considered the low season, but travellers who don’t mind the humidity can benefit from lower fares and fewer crowds. It doesn’t rain steadily throughout these months, usually the rains start to fall in December and January.
Overview
The jewel of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands, Bali lies between Java and Lombok.
Visitors arriving in Bali are struck by its natural beauty, with landscapes ranging from rugged shorelines to glistening, sun-swept beaches. These idyllic scenes are nestled alongside rows of towering volcanic summits which provide a unique and fittingly primeval backdrop for culture vultures who want to immerse themselves in 4,000 years of Balinese history.
As the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia, the island’s ceremonies and festivals are unequalled anywhere else in the region. For example, the celebrations leading up to the Hindu New Year, Nyepi, when the streets of Bali are awash with beautifully made effigies (ogoh-ogoh monsters) proudly held aloft by locals clad in full ceremonial dress.
Bali’s shimmering beaches and glittering nightlife make it a magnet for young travellers eager to party.
Away from the nonstop partying, Bali is a haven for those seeking spiritual refreshment. This is the Island of the Gods after all. The Balinese look away from the beaches to the Gunung Agung volcano and the mountain ranges that dominate the island’s landscape, where the gods are said to live, to feed their souls.
