Questions about Bali trips from India

Flight fares, hotel category, season and the activities you include. Peak dates and higher hotel categories raise the price; the wet season, November to March, is usually cheaper.

Usually return flights, hotels with breakfast, airport transfers and sightseeing with a driver. Other meals, shopping and optional activities are extra unless your quote lists them.
