Bali & Komodo

This is the route I travelled myself through Bali and Komodo, and I arrange it in full for you as an 18-day private trip. You start slowly on the west coast, with the sea temple of Tanah Lot at sunset. Then your own driver takes you inland: the royal temple of Taman Ayun, the UNESCO rice terraces of Jatiluwih, the lakes and waterfalls around Munduk and the waterfalls of the north.

Highlights

• The sea temple of Tanah Lot and Batu Bolong at sunset
• The royal temple of Taman Ayun and the mountain temple of Batukaru
• Walking through the UNESCO rice terraces of Jatiluwih
• Ulun Danu Beratan on its lake, the waterfalls and the cool mountains around Munduk
• Sunrise on the summit of Mount Batur
• Besakih, the mother temple on the slopes of Mount Agung, and the rice fields of Sidemen
• Ubud: the Campuhan ridge, the Monkey Forest, Tirta Empul, Gunung Kawi and Goa Gajah
• The view over the bays of Padar and Komodo dragons in the wild
• The beaches of Uluwatu and the kecak dance at the cliff temple

What I will arrange for you after launch

• Pickup at the arrival airport and the transfer on your last day; the details are in the brochure.
• All hotels and guesthouses, booked in advance at the level you choose: Budget, Comfort or Premium.
• Transport on the ground: a rental car waiting for you (self-drive) or a private driver and private transfers. Domestic flights and trains where that makes sense.
• The activities and entrance fees on the route. Prefer a guide? I can add a local guide to any activity.
• Breakfast, and the meals at remote places with no alternative (such as a safari lodge, desert camp or yurt camp). For the other meals I give you my restaurant recommendations, but you choose completely freely where you eat.
• A personal intake, at your home or by video call.
• A WhatsApp line, before and during your trip, and my personal 24/7 number.
• A call-back after your trip.
• Your international flight from Brussels: after launch I'm happy to book it for you, or you book it yourself. Prices on the site exclude the flight.

Travel whenever you like

Your dates are completely free: there are no fixed departure dates, you leave on the day that suits you. My recommended route takes 18 days. Shorter or longer is possible too; I adapt the route.

This is advice, not a rule. If you want to travel in another month, I tell you honestly what to expect (rain, heat, crowds) and adapt the route.

Flight

After launch I'm happy to book your flight for you, or you book it yourself.

Return flight Brussels–Bali not included. I am happy to book the flight for you, or you book it yourself.

Travelling responsibly

We choose small, locally run accommodation in Kedungu, Jatiluwih, Munduk, Sidemen and Labuan Bajo, work with local drivers, mountain guides and a local boat crew so income stays in the community, and avoid the busiest places at the busiest times (Tanah Lot and Ulun Danu Beratan early or late in the day). In Komodo National Park we follow the daily quotas and park rules: always with a ranger, take nothing and leave nothing, no standing on coral, no anchoring on the reef. Low-plastic travel with water refills in the car and on the boat; respect for temple dress and ceremonies. The Bali tourist levy supports culture and environment projects on the island.
