Top Reasons to Visit Bali in November: Weather, Events, and More

November in Bali offers a unique travel experience, with fewer crowds, a mix of sunny and rainy days, and a vibrant cultural calendar. While it’s technically the start of the rainy season, November is known for its moderate weather, making it an excellent time to enjoy Bali’s beautiful landscapes and lively events. Here are some of the top reasons to visit Bali in November and make the most of your stay on the Island of the Gods.

1. Enjoy Fewer Crowds at Popular Attractions

One of the main advantages of visiting Bali in November is the reduced crowd size. After the peak travel season in July through September, November sees fewer tourists, making it the perfect time for those who want a more tranquil experience.

Whether you’re exploring the famous Tegalalang Rice Terraces or relaxing at Kuta Beach, you’ll find more space to enjoy Bali’s iconic attractions. The quieter environment also provides an opportunity for serene visits to popular temples like Tanah Lot and Uluwatu Temple without the rush of peak season.

For a comprehensive experience, check out our Cultural Tour Packages, which include guided visits to these iconic sites. Bali Gate Tours offers tailored itineraries that let you explore Bali’s highlights at your own pace. Learn more on our Cultural Tour Page.

2. Experience Mild and Pleasant Weather

November marks the beginning of the rainy season in Bali, but don’t let that discourage you. Rain typically falls in short bursts, often in the late afternoon or evening, leaving plenty of time for daytime activities. With temperatures ranging between 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), the weather remains warm and comfortable.

This combination of sunshine and occasional showers creates lush, green landscapes, especially in places like Ubud and Sidemen Valley. It’s also a fantastic time for photographers looking to capture the vibrant colors of Bali’s flora.

Our Ubud Sightseeing Tour offers a chance to explore Bali’s green heart, with stops at rice terraces, waterfalls, and other scenic spots. For more information, visit our Best Sightseeing Tours.

3. Witness Unique Balinese Cultural Events

Bali’s rich culture comes to life in November with several significant festivals and events. If you’re interested in experiencing Bali’s traditions firsthand, here are a few cultural events that make November a special time to visit:

Tumpek Kandang: This Balinese Hindu celebration is dedicated to animals, where locals honor and bless their livestock and pets. You may witness ceremonies in temples and villages where offerings are made to ensure the wellbeing of animals.

Bali Vegan Festival: Held in Ubud, this festival is a celebration of plant-based living and environmental sustainability. It features workshops, food tastings, live music, and cooking classes, providing a unique glimpse into Bali’s vibrant wellness community.

Our Cultural and Festival Tour Packages can include these events, allowing you to experience Bali’s spiritual traditions and festive atmosphere. For more details on cultural tours, check out our Festivals and Events Tour Page.

4. Discover Bali’s Lush Green Landscapes

Thanks to the occasional rain, Bali’s landscapes become especially lush and green in November. The rain rejuvenates the rice terraces, jungles, and gardens, creating a fresh and vibrant environment perfect for nature lovers.

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is particularly stunning during this time. The verdant fields stretch out over rolling hills, offering a beautiful view of Bali’s agricultural heritage. Similarly, locations like the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and Tukad Cepung Waterfall are at their best, with strong water flow and fresh surroundings.

Our Nature and Adventure Tours cover these green landscapes, offering guided treks and nature excursions. Bali Gate Tours can help you explore Bali’s natural beauty while ensuring safety and convenience.

5. Take Advantage of Off-Season Rates

Visiting Bali in November also has financial perks. Since it’s the beginning of the off-season, many hotels, resorts, and tour providers offer discounts and special rates. This makes November an ideal time for budget-conscious travelers who want a luxury experience at a more affordable price.

You can find deals on everything from private villas in Seminyak and Ubud to beachfront resorts in Nusa Dua. Similarly, Bali Gate Tours offers special packages during the off-season, allowing you to experience premium tours without peak-season prices.

For adventure seekers, November is a great time to enjoy Bali’s water sports. The water temperature remains warm, and the waves are moderate, perfect for activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing.

Blue Lagoon and Manta Bay are excellent snorkeling spots, offering clear waters and vibrant marine life. November also brings fewer divers and snorkelers, allowing you to explore these underwater treasures more peacefully.

7. Capture Stunning Sunsets with Dramatic Skies

November’s mix of rain and sunshine often results in dramatic skies, creating stunning sunset scenes over Bali’s beaches and cliffs. Locations like Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot, and Jimbaran Bay are popular spots for sunset viewing, and in November, you’ll find them less crowded, giving you a more intimate experience.
