Frequently Asked Questions
Indian passport holders can easily obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) at the Denpasar airport, which is valid for 30 days and covers both Bali and Lombok. Alternatively, we can assist you in applying for an e-VOA online before your travel to save time at the airport.
The fast boat ride from Padang Bai (Bali) to Bangsal or Senggigi (Lombok) usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on sea conditions. We book premium, fully licensed operators ensuring a safe and comfortable crossing.
When visiting Hindu temples in Bali (like Uluwatu, Tanah Lot, or Tirta Empul), both men and women must wear a 'Sarong' (a traditional cloth wrapped around the waist). Most temples provide these at the entrance either for free or a nominal donation. Shoulders should also be covered.
Absolutely! Bali is a global culinary hub with an abundance of excellent Indian restaurants and vegan/vegetarian cafes, especially in Ubud and Seminyak. Lombok has fewer Indian restaurants but plenty of vegetarian-friendly local options (like Gado-Gado and Nasi Goreng).
100% customizable. Whether you wish to stay on the Gili Islands instead of Lombok mainland, upgrade to a private pool villa, or take a short flight instead of the fast boat, our travel experts will tailor the package exactly to your preferences.
