What your travel insurance should cover
Buy comprehensive travel insurance before you go. It should cover doctor visits, hospital stays and prescription medicines abroad.
Make sure it includes emergency medical evacuation, which moves you to the nearest suitable hospital or home to India. Without cover, evacuation can cost a great deal.
Check the cover for cancellation, interruption, delays and lost luggage, and read exactly which events trigger a refund.
Health checks before you fly
Bali does not usually require specific vaccinations for travellers from India. See a doctor or travel clinic four to six weeks before departure.
- Bring routine immunisations up to date
- Ask about hepatitis A and B, typhoid and tetanus, especially for adventure activities or rural stays
- Ask about Japanese encephalitis or rabies for long stays in rural areas
- Malaria risk in Bali is low; discuss it if you are also visiting other Indonesian islands
- Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging, with a copy of the prescription and a doctor’s note
- Pack pain relievers, anti-diarrhoea tablets and allergy relief
Drink bottled water. Street food carries a higher risk than hotel and restaurant kitchens.
