Best Time to Visit Indonesia (Bali)
April to October (Dry Season)
Bali's dry season (April-October) offers the best weather with minimal rain, lower humidity, and clear skies perfect for temple visits and rice terrace treks. July-August is peak season with higher prices. For the best balance of weather and value, April-June and September-October are ideal. The wet season (November-March) brings afternoon downpours but also lush landscapes and fewer tourists.
