What the network is actually like

Fine in south Bali, Ubud and the cities on Java. Away from the main islands it drops off quickly. The Gilis have signal but the boat over may not, and large parts of Komodo, Flores, Sumatra and Kalimantan have little or none. Cafe wifi on Bali is good enough to work from.

This eSIM: up to 3G, 4G, 5G, onTelkomsel, XL, Indosat. Each plan on the Indonesia page says which of these it uses.

How much data you'll need

About 10GB for two weeks on Bali, less if you work from cafes. Download what you need before a Komodo boat trip.

Recommended: 10GB → closest plan 10GB · 30 days, $9.40.

Where people go

Ubud

Temples and rice terraces inland. Allow ninety minutes from the airport.
Canggu

Surf town full of cafes and remote workers. Everyone gets around by scooter.
Uluwatu

Cliff temple and big surf on the southern tip. Arrange a ride back before sunset.
Yogyakarta

Java's old royal city, and the base for Borobudur and Prambanan.
Labuan Bajo

The port for Komodo boat trips. Signal is patchy once you're out among the islands.

What's on

Timings are month-level, because most of these move year to year.

Nyepi

March (the date moves)

Bali

Bali's Day of Silence. Nobody goes out for 24 hours, the airport closes, and some years mobile data is switched off too.
Galungan and Kuningan

Every 210 days

Bali

Bamboo poles hung with offerings line the roads, and families go back to their home villages.
Idul Fitri

End of Ramadan, about 11 days earlier each year

Nationwide, much less on Bali

Millions travel home at once. Book flights and trains early.
