One of the worst things that can happen during a trip to Bali is getting your card details skimmed while using a tampered-with ATM. That said, most locals have a pretty relaxed attitude towards foreigners. Both men and women can be required to wear a sarong when entering a temple, and it’s useful to pack one in advance. If visiting any temples, make sure to have your shoulders and knees covered. While the tourist beaches, cafes, and resorts are anything goes, it still does well to dress and act conservatively when visiting more local parts of the island. Many a tourist have accidentally planned a visit during Nyepi, the “Day of Silence” before Balinese New Year, and wondered why everything was shut down. The island is the only Hindu-majority province in Muslim-majority Indonesia and was home to mass migrations from the Hindu populations of Java.
Religion in Baliīali is a deeply spiritual place. I’ve visited at the end of the rainy season multiple times and never had an issue. There will be the occasional tropical storm, but for most well-prepared people, this season will have little impact on their daily activities. Generally, good weather and sun can still be enjoyed with scattered short downpours in-between. It’ll also be a bit more humid, but the temperature only increases by a degree or two. January alone receives 1 foot of rain (or 30cm) at the height of the rainy season. Wet season is from October to March, and boy is it wet.
