💸 Here are the mistakes and the Smarter Alternatives)✨ 1. Overpaying for Taxis 🚫 Airport/street taxis charge 2–3x more. ✅ Use Grab/Gojek or hire a driver for the day (~600–700k IDR). 2. Currency Exchange at Airport 🚫 Exchanging all INR at the airport = poor rates. ✅ Exchange a small amount there, rest at authorised “No Commission” changers in Ubud/Seminyak. Keep a forex card for backup. 3. Buying Water Everywhere 🚫 Spending 10–20k IDR daily on bottled water. ✅ Carry a reusable bottle; most hotels/restaurants refill for free. 4. Overpriced Indian Restaurants 🚫 ₹2k–3k per meal just for “ghar ka khana.” ✅ Try warungs (₹200–400 per meal), or explore Balinese, European and continental spots. 5. Overhyped Tourist Packages 🚫 Agents sell “Instagram tours” for swings, waterfalls, rice terraces, etc ✅ A private driver covers all these in one day, cheaper and at your pace. 6. Drinks at Beach Clubs 🚫 ₹7k–10k on cocktails & snacks at Finns/Potato Head. ✅ Pre-drink at local bars, then head for sunset vibes. 7. Shopping Without Bargaining 🚫 Paying quoted flea market prices, marked up 2–4x. ✅ Bargain politely (start at 50%), or shop Ubud Art Market/local boutiques. 8. Tourist Traps 🚫 Falling for “exclusive” transfers, cultural shows, or “free” temple tours → forced shopping stops. ✅ Book boats online (Eka Jaya/Bluewater Express) and skip pushy souvenir shops, buy at local markets. 9. Trips to Gili Islands 🚫 Overpriced boat + snack + transfer packages. ✅ Book fast boats directly, explore on your own. On Gili, rent a cycle (many stays offer them free) instead of paying for overpriced horse carts. #shubhibharal #thattrendstalker #ttstravels #Bali #BaliHacks
