Tips for Your Summer Holiday in Bali

This October, Bali is very hot. If you happen to be on holiday in Bali, there may not be many activities to do during the day. If you're not careful, you could get a heat stroke.

But don't worry; this time, I will share a story about spending time in Bali during the dry season, which may be as hot as summer in your country.



Going to the waterfall may not be the right option right now. Considering this is the dry season, most waterfalls will probably look drier than usual.


If you stay in Denpasar, try to visit:

Museum Bali


Alternatively, you can go to several tourist villages in Bali. Apart from enjoying views of the rice fields, several tourist villages also have cafes and restaurants where you can relax while enjoying food and drinks.

Going to the beach can also be the right choice. But once again, you have to choose a time when the sun's rays don't sting too much.

In the morning, around 06.00-09.00 WITA (06.00-09.00 AM) could be the right time. Apart from playing on the beach, you can enjoy the sunrise on the beaches to the east, for example, the beaches in the Sanur area.

In the afternoon, after 16.00 WITA (04.00 PM), it will be nice to enjoy the afternoon sun. If you are lucky, you can see the sunset in a clear sky.

While on holiday, don't forget to try some cold desserts that are suitable for summer.

Green coconut ice is usually a favorite drink. But apart from that, there are several types of traditional drinks. One of them is daluman ice.

Daluman ice, which looks like green jelly, is made using the juice of Cylea barbata Miers leaves, or in Indonesian, cincau hijau.

Cincau hijau has benefits for keeping digestion working well. The sugar compounds in cincau hijau are able to treat stomach aches; cincau hijau also contains alkaloid compounds, vitamin B and vitamin C, which can treat diarrhea if consumed three times a day regularly.

You can enjoy this special jelly with coconut milk, brown sugar syrup, and refreshing cold ice.

Apart from daluman ice, a refreshing dessert is es campur (mixed ice).

There are various types of es campur. However, usually, es campur contains tapai (fermented cassava), pearl sago, black grass jelly, kolang kaling, jackfruit, and occasionally seaweed.

This ice is very refreshing to enjoy on a hot day. Especially if you have just enjoyed spicy dishes like rujak.


You can enjoy rujak on this place:

Warung Dong Soka

 

I hope this information can help you spend a pleasant time during the summer in Bali. Don't forget to wear your sunscreen when going outside, and have a nice holiday!

  1. Liburan pas musim kemarau memang nggak khawatir kalau langit jadi gelap, tapi konsekuensinya kita harus tahan panas. Air terjun juga kalau musim kemarau khawatir nggak terlalu banyak airnya.

  12. 'Mohon maaf banget bila komentarnya bahasa indonesia

    Salah satu waktu terbaik untuk mengunjungi bali adalah ketika waktu musim semi atau musim panas, selain karena adanya angin berhembus yang semakin menyegarkan tentu cuaca cerah akan memberikan suasana yang lebih indah apalagi bila di waktu malam

  14. OMG looking at the cincau drink, it's so refreshing and good. The temperature, here, in Bandung so hot, I think it's almost the same. I really miss Bali so much. Hope I could come and visit you there.

  15. Paling suka dari Bali itu ialah mereka nggak tergusur oleh modernisasi yang sampai menghilangkan jati dirinya, semoga tahun depan kesampaian ke sini

  24. It's a must to spend time on the beach when in Bali. While you're in Bali, right?
    If you're feeling parched and thirsty, there are plenty of cold Balinese drinks you can order.
    This is heaven...

  25. Bagi saya, jalan-jalan memang lebih senang kalau pas musim kemarau. Gak usah takut kehujanan, jadi bisa puas mengunjungi destinasinya. Kalo soaal panas, tinggal pakai topi dan sunscreen.
