Travel to Bali. so make sure you have done your research and have planned a route that takes in these attractions, such as Angkor Wat, Ha Long Bay, and Bali to name just a few.

Bali, Indonesia

Alot of people have some strong opinions when it comes to the best time to go to Bali. Most people will tell you that you should always plan your trip to avoid the wet season. I’m not one of those people though! I think that Bali can be enjoyed 365 days a year. Whether you go in the wet season or the dry season, Bali is one of the most amazing, tropical destinations on Earth.

Located barely 500 miles south of the equator, Bali has a distinctly tropical climate. Regardless of the month, you visit or where you stay on the island, you are likely to find yourself sitting in weather between 80 and 85 degrees and humidity. While it can get a bit cooler, you will rarely need anything more than a light jacket.

While we usually talk about seasons in terms on summer, winter, fall, and spring, the Balinese look at things differently. They only have two times of year: the wet season and the dry season. Both have their pros and cons when it comes to traveling in Bali.

The wet season is, of course, wet! The regular rain is what puts people off from traveling to Bali during the late winter and spring, but it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. It is warm year-round, so you can enjoy hours in the sun and long afternoons at the beaches.

The rain often moves through with incredible speed. One quick downpour and the clouds can go away for the day. And the rain isn’t all that bad!
