Bali can be visited year-round, but some periods suit certain trips better than others, whether you're after relaxation, hiking, or better prices. Here's the essentials for choosing your dates.

The rainy season (November to March)

Short but intense tropical showers, usually in the late afternoon. The island stays lush and prices are more attractive, though some mountain roads can be harder to access.
