About The Trip

A tropical Utopia. The Isle of perpetual summer. Sensuously floating heaven on the ocean. One word tacitly enters our heads when we think of Bali: Paradise! It’s not a place; it’s a mood. Bali bestows thousands of years of conserved history, geography, volcanoes, tourist-friendly hotspots, and euphoria. Welcome to the Island of Gods, where spirituality blends in the soul, the culmination of cultures evanesce in blood, and art and architecture form the heart. 

One island, many destinations! Among Indonesia's 17000 islands, Bali glows with pride. Travellers visit this land in search of its prettiest coral reefs, intrepid water sports, abundant marine life, white sand beaches in the south, and black sand beaches in the west and north.  If it was ever on your list to visit Bali alone or with a partner, this seems to be the time when clouds are rising high, and summers are sitting cold.

"Balance is not letting love anybody less than you love yourself." Plan the Unplanned team brings your Eat, Pray, Love cravings alive and makes you dance to funky Balinese tunes. From experiencing love to closely observing this part of the archipelago, you will sail in the unique extravaganza of Bali for seven days and six nights at the most competitive prices!
