Bali Itinerary 🇮🇩

Here is a sample itinerary for Bali for 6days (5Night 6 Days) in a budget.

Day 1

Arrive in Bali and check in at your hotel.

Suluban Beach

Suluban Beach is like no other. You’ll walk down winding stairs with restaurants and bars dotted along the way. At the bottom, you’ll reach a cave where the beach is located.

Day 2

Uluwatu Temple

One of the things that make Uluwatu Temple so special is that it is considered one of the 6 holiest places on the island. The temple is stationed over a cliff overlooking amazing views.

Water Blow

Water Blow is located only 20 minutes from Denpasar Airport, making it a great place to begin your holiday. Head to the south of Bali to witness surges of bright blue water against limestone rocks. This attraction is free, but just make sure you visit when there is a high tide.

Tegal Wangi Beach

It’s less busy than Tanah Lot, which will be mentioned later on in this article. It’ll take around 10 minutes to climb down the rocks to the beach. Find a rock to sit on as you watch the sun setting.

Day 3

Kanto Lampo Waterfall

One of the best waterfalls in the immediate vicinity. Heading to the waterfall at the start of the day is your best bet to avoid many of the crowds that are sure to come in later on.
Here you will find a scalable rock face with the water coming down from above. Be careful as you do climb since it is obviously pretty wet up there.

Pura Gunung Kawi

The highlight were the various massive structures that were built into the wall itself. It was incredible seeing the detail and hard work put into building such a place.

Day 4

Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

Munduk and Bedugul are truly underrated areas of Bali. Take a day trip to visit some of the coolest attractions in Bali.
Ulun Danu Beratan Temple is a water temple that appears to be floating on a river, back dropped by the Bedugul mountains. The grounds of the temple are beautiful, featuring green pastures and red flowers.

Wanagiri Hidden Hills

Head from Bedugul to Munduk, the neighboring town only 20 minutes away. Wanagiri Hidden Hills is an Instagrammer’s paradise. Here, you’ll find the Bali swings to pose on, giant bird nests big enough to sit in and other props.

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls are another hidden gem in Bali. While Tukad Cepung Waterfall is unique, it is overrated and whereas Kanto Lampo Waterfall is beautiful, the crowds ruin the atmosphere.
Head back to Ubud after your full-day trip.

Day 5

Tirta Empul

It's also regarded as one of the holiest temples in Bali. This water temple complex is a place for purification. You’ll see many Hindu locals bathing in the water.

Tegallalang Rice Terraces

Tegallalang is one of the must-see places in Bali. The terraces are located just over an hour from Canggu or Seminyak. The rice terraces offer such a lush green backdrop to your Instagram photos. Have breakfast and a coffee here to kickstart your day.

Ubud Monkey Forest

Head to Ubud to stay for the night. Check out their monkey sanctuary located within the town. Rest assured, these monkeys aren’t as cunning as the monkeys you will have seen at Uluwatu temple. In fact, a lot of them are quite friendly and curious. Once again, keep any loose items secure.

Ubud Town

Spend the afternoon exploring Ubud Town. It’s definitely one of the good places in Bali
Allow for an hour or two browsing the Ubud Art Market. This is a great place to buy souvenirs for friends and family back home, as well as clothing and accessories.

Day 6
Checkout from your hotel and heads to the airport.
