When is The Best Time to Visit Bali?

The best time to visit Bali is between April to October, with August being the dried month of the year. These are typically summer months and ideal for tourists looking to enjoy water sports activities like surfing, snorkeling, and diving.

Odalan is held in August as devotees gather to seek spiritual attainment.

Winter is from November to March and is generally considered low season. While there’s not much scope for water-based activities, you can do plenty of other things. You can climb the famous Mount Batur or participate in the Suwat Water Festival held during the New Year. Some other things to do in Bali during the winter include trekking the rice terraces, visiting the dense forests, and experiencing the warm hospitality of the local Balinese.
