Do's and Don'ts in Bali 
When visiting any of the temples in Bali, remember that you are properly covered, especially your shoulders and legs.
A sarong around the legs and a temple scarf around the waist are also mandatory. Public displays of affection are not appropriate near temples or holy places, and modest dressing is encouraged.
Smoking is prohibited in many public areas which include temples, and some restaurants, hotels or tourist attractions.
Also, it would be advisable to never use the left hand to offer anything to the people or the deities or use the index finger to beckon someone.
It is considered equally rude to touch somebody on the head or step on canang sari (holy offerings) on the street, so tourists must be watchful.
Religious processions also take place frequently in Bali, and interrupting these is not appropriate.
Flash photography is also discouraged in quieter places.
Tipping is a practice in Bali.

Religion of Bali 
Bali is a city where religious beliefs influence almost every aspect of life. It is home to one of the unique forms of Hinduism, even though Indonesia's population is predominantly Muslim. Balinese Hinduism and Buddhism are the most practised religions in Bali, with various temples dedicated to both faiths. Balinese Hindu festivals are different from Indian Hindu festivals, and their customs and traditions are also vastly different.

Language of Bali 
The languages commonly spoken are Balinese and Bahasa Indonesian, but almost all the people on the island have at least a rudimentary knowledge of English, so it is relatively easy for tourists to find their way around Bali. Also, the signs in Bali are multilingual, with Chinese and Korean counterparts of English signs.

Visiting Bali is easy as there are many Travel options

You can take a bus from Jakarta (the capital of Indonesia) to Bali, but only if you can brave the 23-hour bus journey.

Best Time To Visit

Bali is climatically comfortable throughout the year, and is a year-round destination, the best time to visit Bali is from April to October, the summer months in Bali. 

April - October: During the dry season, April to October, the western side of the peninsula creates some of the world's best waves, making this a delightful time to visit, weather-wise.  Even within these months, the peak tourist season lasts from July to August, but April, May, June and September, just before and after the busiest time in Bali are truly the best months to visit.

October - March: Bali sees rainfall during these months, so you may want to avoid this half of the year if you’re planning your vacation. Although you will bag better deals during these months, your movement may be restricted because of rainfall.
