Travel Insurance for Bali from India

Digit is one of the foremost travel insurance providers in India, offering numerous benefits under their policies to make travelling to Indonesia secure for Indians. When purchasing your Indonesia travel insurance cover, consider buying from Digit for the following reasons:

• Cover for Adventure Sports-Related Injuries - Indonesia provides a wide range of opportunities to thrill-seeking travellers. Scuba diving, snorkelling and trekking are just a few of the adventure sports activities that you can participate in during your travels. Nevertheless, such activities come with their share of risks, and you can injure yourself in freak accidents. With Digit’s travel insurance policies, you no longer need to worry about paying for treatment of such injuries. Unlike other providers, Digit does not shy away from covering single day adventure-sports related accidents in its plans.
• Personal Liability for Damage to Third-parties - Suppose you are on a road trip in Indonesia and you get into an accident with a local’s car with your rental vehicle. Under normal circumstances, you are responsible for the damage caused and need to pay accordingly. With travel insurance from Digit, however, you will be covered for any such liabilities along with the liability for damaging the rental vehicle.
• Losing Your Passport is No Worry - Misplacing your passport or its theft can be a devastating thing while travelling to Indonesia, or any other international destination. Apart from the hassle of initiating the re-issuance procedure, such an incident also causes considerable financial loss. Digit’s travel coverage includes a specific clause for just such cases. The policy will help you recover the cost of Passport or Visa re-issuance. This can minimise your problem after such a loss and help you continue your travel plans without any impediments.
• Luggage Delays in Transit Become Easier to Deal with - While travelling to a foreign land, you may experience baggage delays in transit. In such an event, you may need to remain without the same for a day or two. A travel insurance policy from Digit will help cover the financial losses during such times.
• Sudden Cancellation of Plans to Visit Indonesia - There can be emergencies or death in your family that might hamper your plans to visit Indonesia all of a sudden. You may have already booked flight tickets, hotel rooms and made all the other necessary travel arrangements. Cancelling at such a time can lead to substantial financial losses. A Bali travel insurance plan from Digit eliminates such losses in case of trip cancellations. Digit is one of the insurance providers that cover your non-refundable pre-booking costs, ensuring true financial security in all cases.
• Impressive Customer Care Services - International travellers may need to reach out to their insurers at odd hours, especially considering the time gap in the various countries. Digit’s reliable customer care services ensure that you can avail assistance 24x7, without any delays. All you need to do is dial +91-730347000 from anywhere in the globe. We guarantee that our customer care representatives will get back to you within 10 minutes of your call.
• Reasonable Premium Amount for Comprehensive Protection - Are you worried about the cost of the Bali-Indonesia travel insurance policy? Well, don’t be. Digit’s Indonesia Travel Insurance plans start at just Rs. 175 per adult (excl. 18% GST) per day of stay in Indonesia. The sum insured for such a plan is $50,000. Yes, that’s right! It may sound impossible, but Digit’s policies are just that inexpensive.   

Although part of the same nation, the rest of Indonesia is starkly different from the island of Bali. Therefore, while travelling to Indonesia, do not let Bali be your sole destination, as the country offers a wide variety of things for you to experience and activities to participate in.

While in Indonesia, you can enjoy witnessing exotic wildlife, such as the Komodo Dragon. If you are an adventure junkie, make sure that you experience scuba diving and/or snorkelling. Apart from the enthralling sights and locations, you should also absorb as much of the rich cultural heritage from the Indonesian populace as you can.

Bali, especially, is famous for all of its natural beauty. The forested volcanic mountains, coral reefs, pristine beaches and rice paddies are some of the things that add to Bali’s mesmerizing beauty. 

Best Time to Visit Bali-Indonesia

Indonesia (including Bali’s) weather remains the most pleasant between:

• April to October - The dry and cool conditions in Bali between these months make travelling easier and more comfortable, especially for Indian tourists.
• May to September - Indonesia, as a whole, also experiences relatively dry and pleasant weather conditions between these few months.

At other times, short and heavy bursts of rainfall can meddle with your travel plans. 

Top Places to Visit in Indonesia

When you are in Bali, ensure you travel to the following locations without fail:

• Seminyak – This is the town you should visit in Bali if you desire a luxurious stay. With an abundance of spas, five-star restaurants and opulent resorts, Seminyak is truly a sight to behold.
• Pura Besakih – Located on the slopes of the highest peak in Bali, Pura Besakih is a temple that the locals believe protects the island from evil. Regardless of whether you are religious, the intricate architecture and history of Pura Besakih are interesting.

Indonesia, excluding Bali, also offers several interesting sights and locations of interest to tourists.

• Komodo National Park – One of perhaps the only species at present that share a common ancestry with dinosaurs are the komodo dragons. Indonesia has a whole park for these creatures. You can take a guided visit to witness these Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.
• Lombok – Offering almost similar sights as Bali, Lombok is a lesser-known Indonesian island. The Gunung Rinjani volcano and the opportunities for undertaking a trek are some reasons to visit this island destination.
• Bukit Lawang – This is basically a rehabilitation and preservation area for orangutans. Tourists can enjoy spending a day with these apes, interacting with them and taking joy from their various activities.

Safety Measures while Travelling to Indonesia and Bali

Although safer than many other Asian destinations, tourists must adopt the following safety measures while travelling to Indonesia:

• Beware of Alcohol Poisoning – Do not drink alcohol at places other than reputed institutions.
• Scams are Common – Credit card fraud is common in most Asian countries, and Indonesia is not an exception to this. Con artists are also waiting to scam you so beware of who you believe.
• Check the Source for Information – Rely only on the official government websites for travel-related information of Indonesia.
