Ngurah Rai International Airport
Most people come back from Bali having seen one corner of it. They stay near the airport, do a temple, a beach and a rice terrace, and fly home thinking that was Bali. This trip is built for the other kind of traveller — the one who wants the south coast and the island crossings and the hills around Ubud, without spending every morning in a car.
Ten days, nine nights, from ₹58,700 per person. Five nights on the coast at Kuta for the beaches, temples and the Nusa Penida crossing, then the rest in Ubud for the rice terraces, the river and the highlands. You travel in your own car with an English-speaking driver-guide throughout — no shared coach, no fixed group.
What makes this Bali tour package from India different is what is already paid for. The entry fees to every place in the itinerary, the Nusa Penida speedboat day with lunch, white-water rafting on the Ayung and a Balinese spa session are all inside the price. On most Bali quotes those are the extras that appear after you land.
It suits couples, families with older children and groups of friends. If you are asking how many days are needed for a Bali trip, the honest answer is that anything under a week means choosing between Nusa Penida and Ubud. Ten days means you do not have to choose.
Bring sunscreen and a swimsuit you can walk in. The rest we have arranged.
Want to add Gili or Lombok on the end, or swap a beach day for Mount Batur at sunrise? Tell us your dates and we will rebuild the route around them.
You land at Ngurah Rai airport and your driver takes you across to Kuta, about half an hour unless the evening traffic has other ideas. Kuta is the loud end of Bali — surf shops, warungs, a long beach that fills up before sunset. It works as a first base because everything in the south sits within an hour. Check in, get your feet in the sea, and let the flight wear off.
Kuta Beach — the place Balinese tourism effectively began in the 1970s, when surfers found the break here. It is busy and unpolished, and it is still where most first trips start.
After breakfast you head down the Bukit peninsula. Nusa Dua first, where the water is calmest and swimming is easiest. A short walk away is Water Blow, where the swell funnels into a gap in the limestone and throws spray over the rocks. In the afternoon you carry on to Pandawa, reached through a corridor cut clean through the cliff with five carved figures set into the rock face. Back to Kuta for the night.
Pandawa Beach — the five statues in the cliff are the Pandava brothers from the Mahabharata. Balinese Hinduism kept the epics alive here in a form Indian visitors recognise instantly.
Water Blow — it only performs at high tide with a decent swell. Your guide will time the stop, but the sea has the final say.
The best day of the trip for most people. You start inland at Taman Ayun in Mengwi, a moated royal temple that is usually quiet. Then Tanah Lot, sitting on its own rock offshore — you can only walk out at low tide, so the sea sets the timing rather than the itinerary. Late afternoon you finish at Uluwatu on the cliff above the Indian Ocean for sunset.
Tanah Lot — built in the 16th century by a wandering priest, and one of seven sea temples ringed around the coast so each is visible from the next.
Uluwatu — guards the south-western tip of the island and is one of Bali's six most sacred temples. The Kecak fire dance is performed here at dusk.
Taman Ayun — a UNESCO-listed site, part of the subak system of water temples that has governed Bali's rice irrigation for a thousand years.
The biggest day. An early transfer to Sanur harbour and a speedboat across to Nusa Penida, roughly forty-five minutes and choppy more often than not. On the island you see Kelingking, the headland shaped like a dinosaur's head above a white beach, then Angel's Billabong, a natural rock pool that fills at low tide. Lunch is included today. Speedboat back to Sanur in the late afternoon.
Kelingking — the name means "little finger" in Indonesian. The descent is a rough staircase of bamboo and rock, and it is genuinely steep; the famous view is from the top anyway.
Angel's Billabong — beautiful at low tide and dangerous at high tide, when waves wash straight over the rim. Follow the guide on whether you can enter.
A deliberately slow day after Nusa Penida. Breakfast, then your included Balinese massage — firm, oil-based, and more thorough than most people expect after two days of cliffs and boats. The afternoon is yours. Stay at the hotel, visit the waterfalls nearby, or take the children to the Bali Bird and Reptile Park. Nothing is scheduled on purpose, because tomorrow is an early start and a long drive east.
Balinese massage — a traditional technique using long strokes, palm pressure and coconut or frangipani oil, developed to loosen muscles rather than simply relax them. It is one of the few island traditions that has survived tourism largely intact.
An early start east, with Mount Agung filling the windscreen for much of the drive. First stop is Besakih, Bali's mother temple — dozens of separate temples stacked up the volcano's slope, over a thousand years old and still in daily use. Then Lempuyang for the Gate of Heaven, which frames Agung between two stone halves. It is a long drive back, so expect a late return.
Pura Besakih — a complex of 23 temples that survived the 1963 eruption of Agung when lava flowed past it on both sides, which Balinese people took as a sign.
Lempuyang — among the six holiest temples on the island, and far older than its internet fame. The temple above the gate is a short climb and usually empty.
North today, up to Bedugul in the hills where the air finally turns cool. You stop at the Handara Gate, the freestanding Balinese gate with mountains behind it — a photo stop and nothing more, with a small fee and usually a queue. A little further on is Ulun Danu Beratan, the temple on the lake edge that appears to float when the water is high. Then down to Ubud for the night.
Ulun Danu Beratan — built in 1633 and dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of lakes and rivers. It anchors the water-temple network that feeds the rice terraces below.
Handara Gate — a split gate of a kind found at temple entrances across Bali. This one is the entrance to a golf resort, which surprises people, but the design is authentic.
Rafting day. After breakfast and a safety briefing you put in for about ten kilometres of grade II and III water — roughly two and a half hours with thirty-odd rapids and a guide calling instructions from the back. It is more scenic than frightening: most of the run is through rainforest gorge with carvings cut into the rock walls. Later you do the Bali Swing over the valley, which is the photograph everyone comes for.
The Ayung gorge — the rock walls along the run carry carved reliefs made by local artists over the years, which you only see from the water.
Tegallalang — terraces shaped by the subak irrigation system, still farmed by cooperatives that decide together when each field is watered.
A full free day, and the trip is better for having one. Plenty of people simply use the hotel — pool, a yoga class, a long breakfast. If you want to fill it, the Monkey Forest, the Campuhan ridge walk at dawn and the art market are all within reach, or you can run north to Lovina for the early-morning dolphin boats. Tell your driver the night before and he will work around whatever you decide.
Monkey Forest — not a zoo but a working temple site. Three temples inside date from around the 14th century and are still used for ceremonies.
Campuhan Ridge — the walk follows a spur between two rivers, the meeting of which Balinese tradition treats as spiritually significant.
Final breakfast, pack and check out. Your driver collects you from Ubud for the run down to Ngurah Rai airport, which takes about ninety minutes and longer in morning traffic. Build in the buffer, because the road into Denpasar is unpredictable. Check in, drop your bags, and that is Bali.
The drive down — the villages between Ubud and the coast each specialise in one craft: stone carving in one, woodwork in the next, silver in another. It is the last and cheapest chance to buy something made locally.
Ten days is enough to see Bali properly rather than glimpse it. If you want to add Gili or Lombok, or trade a beach day for sunrise on Mount Batur, send us your dates and we will rebuild the route.
