## Brief

- Try Balinese specialties such as **babi guling**, **ayam betutu**, **lawar**, **sate lilit**, and **jukut urap**. For drinks, look for **es daluman**, fresh coconut, and locally produced coffee.
- Bali has heavy traffic around Denpasar, Kuta, Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud. Allow substantial extra time for airport transfers and inter-district travel, especially during weekends and ceremonies.
- The **New Asia Forum** is scheduled for **3-4 December 2026** and may increase demand for accommodation and transport, particularly if activities are concentrated in major resort areas ([daftarsekolah.spmb.teknokrat.ac.id](https://daftarsekolah.spmb.teknokrat.ac.id/2026/10/wajah-ganda-bali-dari-panggung-diplomasi-global-dan-investasi-besar-hingga-ancaman-kriminalitas-internasional)).

## Safety and health

- **Zika activity is elevated:** cases have been reported in travellers returning from Bali. Use mosquito repellent, wear clothing that covers the skin, and follow precautions against sexual transmission during and after travel. Pregnant travellers should discuss Bali travel with a healthcare professional ([cdc.gov](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/level2/zika-indonesia)).
- Dengue is a continuing risk in Bali. Prevent mosquito bites with repellent, screened or air-conditioned accommodation, and long clothing, especially during daytime when dengue mosquitoes are active ([cdc.gov](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/indonesia)).
- Avoid wading or swimming in untreated freshwater. After heavy rain, stay away from floodwater, mud, and soil, and keep cuts covered because of risks including schistosomiasis and melioidosis ([cdc.gov](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/indonesia)).
- Bali has a known rabies risk among dogs, monkeys, cats, and other mammals. Do not touch or feed animals; seek urgent medical care after any bite or scratch ([wikivoyage.org](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Indonesia)).
- A yellow-fever certificate is required for travellers aged 9 months or older arriving from countries with yellow-fever transmission. It is not generally required for direct travel from the United States, and vaccination is not routinely recommended for Indonesia ([cdc.gov](https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/indonesia)).
