No public transportation nearby
Infant seats unavailable
Not recommended for travellers with heart problems or other serious medical conditions
A note at this point out of respect for the Balinese faith: Pregnant women and female guests during their menstruation are not allowed to enter temples, as this would bring bad luck according to Balinese beliefs. This unwritten rule may seem a little strange to us by Western standards. However, please bear in mind that during this tour, the Balinese will give you deep insights into their traditions and even allow you to participate in them. For this reason, you should accept this and show the necessary respect for the people and their beliefs.
