Hello
guys, do you want to visit Bali? The island of thousand temples that is very
famous around the world. Everyone wants to visit there. But this will require
proper planning and considerations about the cost. So, you can manage your
money; reduce the cost and save money, especially for the beginners that most
of you are still confused how to visit a famous place but only spend lowest cost.
That
sounds impossible to go to Bali with lowest cost. Whenever you hear the word of
Bali, the first word that spinning in your head must be “expensive”, expensive food,
expensive inn and expensive souvenir. However, behind those impressions there are
still low cost such as hotel, food, etc. So, the beginner, do not worry, here I
share you 7 tips to get cheap holidays to Bali:
1.
Manage your finance
Manage
your finance first. Divide your money into several purposes such for ticketing,
for meal, for buying entrance ticket, for buying souvenirs, etc. Bring enough
money in your pocket. Do not carry much cash money to avoid crime.
2.
Do not visit on a weekend or holiday
In
the holidays or weekends all costs will be higher than weekdays, including flight
tickets, souvenirs, inn and foods. It will make you so wasteful. Hence, There
will be more visitors in holidays or weekends means that you may not be able to
enjoy your vacation in the middle of a crowded. Thus, you will be better to go
to Bali on weekdays, you will get better price and can enjoy your vacation. Do
not worry in selecting flight tickets to Bali, book a flight ticket for night
flights. Why? Because the price of night flight tickets is much cheaper than
morning and afternoon flight tickets.
3.
Find an inn at a reasonable price.
Before
choosing inn you should browse on the internet about information them. It helps
you to choose best choice. I recommend you to look for an inn in around Poppy
Lane street and Legian street. This area is well known for inn that offers affordable
price per night. The facilities provided are also adequate, such as single bed,
a fan and indoor bathroom. Room price range from Rp 100.000 to Rp 350.000 per
day. If you want to get a cheaper price, then rent an inn for three days in a
row.
4.
Hire a motorcycle
Not
all of tourist spots in Bali are located near each other, for example when you
want to visit Kuta Beach and Lake Batur in a single day. It is impossible for
you to visit them one by one on foot. It means that you need a vehicle to move
from one spot to the others. So what is the most appropriate vehicle? The
answer is a motorcycle. Hiring motorcycle is more efficient than take a taxi or
other public transportation. It also can be faster. However, you should bargain
the price because you may get the lowest price. If you want to more lower
prices, rent a motorcycle for more than one day.
5.
Eat at stalls special for backpacker
You
can not put aside about food. Usually the beginners are careless in this matter
because too often buy food or buy food in a wrong place that makes them waste
much money. So, look for food in home-cooked foods stall around the coast where
the backpackers usually eat there. The stalls are usually sell food in cheaper
price.
6.
Buying souvenirs in art market
It
is incomplete when you go somewhere without buying souvenirs. It happens when you
go to Bali, you also want to buy souvenirs. It is okay. The one you may concern
is the souvenirs price in the modern shop along the road are usually more
expensive than the price in the market. Thus, buy some souvenirs in the art
market in Denpasar and surrounding areas such as Sukawati art market, Tanah Lot
art market and Kumbasari art market.
7.
How about stepping on the offerings?
Actually
these tips are not related to the budget, but as a beginner, you should know. As
the good visitors, you have to know the customs of local people and respect
them. The ones I will explain you here is about Banten. Banten or sajen usually
placed at entrances and areas that crowded of people. Sajen consists of flowers
and other offerings placed in a container made from coconut leaf (canang sari).
Then what if you are accidentally stepped on it? Actually it does not matter. Say
sorry if you stepped on in front of the Banten owners.
In
addition, if you visit temples and other places that are considered sacred by
the local people. Respect local customs and obey the laws. Wear decent clothes.
Wear sarong or cloth, if you wear shorts, wear a sarong and senteng in certain places
that has been determined. Do not take pictures with the flash during the
process of ceremony and do not walk in front of people who are praying. For
women, do not enter into the temple while in period.
