Enjoy Bali
The perfect way to enjoy Bali

Healing in the open, cool beach and green nature!

Bali, a mysterious island with emerald blue beaches, a warm climate, beautiful nature, unique culture, and art, is a great place to visit any time of year thanks to its warm weather.
Many people choose Bali as a perfect vacation destination for honeymoons and healing trips, and it is also gaining popularity as a yoga destination because it offers an inexpensive and leisurely month-long stay.

"Bali Self-Travel" thoroughly covers major areas such as Kuta, Seminyak & Canggu, Ubud, and surrounding islands including Lombok, covering every nook and cranny of Bali.
In particular, before introducing the spots in earnest, it helps you understand the region quickly and easily by showing the characteristics of each region, how to get there, a checklist, and recommended one-day courses along with a detailed map.
Next, it shows attractions divided into categories such as activities, sightseeing, restaurants, shopping, and accommodations.


This revised edition includes significant revisions to essential information, including operating hours, directions, increased fares, and closures.
It also introduces Bali's representative spots, such as Padang Padang Beach, which was the setting for the movie "Eat, Pray, Love," and the mysterious Tanah Lot Temple, as well as hidden spots known only to locals.
Additionally, to help readers see the importance of a spot at a glance, tourist attractions are given a star rating (1-3 stars) and the remaining spots are marked as 'recommended'.


Easy-to-understand maps that don't require any navigational hassles

We've included a variety of maps to help first-time travelers easily get to their desired destination.
First, we laid out the Bali map so that you can see the main areas at a glance, and for each chapter, we placed a detailed map with the main spots displayed as icons for easy viewing.
In addition, a map of the Mount Rinjani trekking course is included, and you can conveniently use the 'portable mini map book' provided separately on site.

Easy and perfect travel planning just for you

In "Bali Self-Travel," we present four recommended itineraries for 5 nights and 6 days, allowing travelers to tailor them to their preferences.
These include 'My First Bali Trip', 'Sweet Honeymoon', 'A Brilliant Family Trip', and 'Solo Backpacking Trip'. Rather than exploring multiple areas of Bali at once, we suggest a trip where you stay in two places for two or three nights each.
If you have no idea how to plan your schedule, you can refer to this to easily plan your schedule.
In addition, there are also basic tours for beginners departing from Ubud or Kuta as a 'daily guided vehicle tour', and vehicle tours that tour major tourist attractions from Ubud to Ahmet.

Step to Bali
Quick and easy travel preparation

The latter part of the book provides detailed information on Bali, including general information about the process of departing from Incheon International Airport, filling out customs declaration forms, and using duty-free shops, as well as other areas that may be confusing for novice travelers.
It also includes detailed information on local transportation, including metered taxis, motorcycle taxis, rental cars, and buses.


With the concept of 'D-60 for Travel', it shows you every step of the travel preparation process, from getting a passport to packing, and even includes basic English and Indonesian conversation that can be used right away when you go there.
Let's take a look at the latest and most valuable information from every corner of Bali, discovered by two authors who have joined forces.
