Mid-range travelers (INR 3500-7000 per day): This includes staying in mid-range hotels or bungalows (around INR 2000-4000 per night), enjoying a mix of street food and restaurant meals (around INR 300-500 per meal), and participating in some paid activities like day trips (around INR 1000-2000 per trip) or massages (around INR 500-1000 per session).
Luxury travelers (INR 7000+ per day): This includes staying in luxury resorts or villas (starting around INR 10,000 per night), indulging in fine-dining restaurants (around INR 1000+ per meal), and experiencing a variety of paid activities like scuba diving (around INR 5000-10000 per dive), whitewater rafting (around INR 2000-3000 per trip), and helicopter tours (variable depending on duration and coverage).
Here are some additional tips for saving money on your trip to Bali:
Fly during the shoulder seasons (April, May, September, and October): Flights and accommodation tend to be cheaper during these times.
Travel with friends or family: Splitting the cost of accommodation and transportation can save you money.
Consider travel insurance: While it's an additional cost, it can provide peace of mind in case of unexpected events.
