Bali Tour Packages take you to an island province of Indonesia, just east of Java. Unlike the rest of the country, most people in Bali follow Hinduism, so temples, flower offerings and temple festivals are part of daily life. Indian travellers often feel at home when they see Ramayana stories told through Balinese dance. The island also has green rice terraces, a volcano with a crater lake, waterfalls and beaches for every mood. Honeymoon couples, families and groups of friends all enjoy it. GoldBox Holidays has no Bali package online right now. New trips will be added to this page soon.

Best time to go
April to October is the dry season and the best time for sightseeing and the beach. July and August are the busiest months, so book early. November to March is the wet season, with heavy rain on many afternoons, but the island is green and hotel rates can be lower. Nyepi, the Balinese day of silence, closes the whole island for a day, including the airport, usually in March.
How to choose the right package
Plan 5 to 6 nights for a first visit. Split your stay between Ubud for culture and a beach area for rest. Honeymoon couples often choose a private pool villa and a day at Nusa Penida. Families with elders should keep drives short, as roads are narrow and traffic is slow. Vegetarian and Indian food is available in the main tourist areas. Some flights from India are direct, while many go via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok.
