Bali in Seven Days: A Practical Holiday Plan for Two
Bali remains one of the most attractive international getaways for Indian travellers, offering beaches, temples, rice terraces, waterfalls and vibrant nightlife. For two people, a well-planned 7-night trip can be managed at around ₹1.7–₹2.2 lakh, including return flights, accommodation, food, sightseeing and local transport.
DAY 1 — KOLKATA TO BALI
Fly from Kolkata to Denpasar International Airport (DPS), generally with a connection. Keep approximately ₹70,000–₹90,000 for two for return airfare, depending on the booking date. After arrival, transfer to Seminyak, an excellent first base because of its beaches, restaurants and convenient location. Budget ₹5,000–₹7,000 for the night.
DAY 2 — SEMINYAK & ULUWATU
Begin with Seminyak Beach and nearby cafés. In the afternoon, head towards Uluwatu Temple for the famous Kecak dance and sunset. Finish the evening around Jimbaran. Keep ₹4,000–₹6,000 for transport, meals and entry fees for two.
DAY 3 — SEMINYAK TO UBUD
Move to Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart. Stop at Tegallalang Rice Terraces and a waterfall before checking into a boutique hotel. Three nights in a comfortable Ubud property may cost around ₹15,000–₹22,000 for two.
DAY 4 — UBUD EXPLORATION
Visit Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace and local markets, followed by an evening exploring the town. Allocate around ₹3,000–₹5,000 for food, transport and attractions.
