Backpacking in Bali in 2025 is going to be such a vibe. Not only is it easier than ever before to organize and enjoy a backpacking trip, but there are now even more destinations that are open to tourists, travelers, and intrepid backpackers across the island. For more than fifty years, Bali has been the highlight of the Southeast Asia backpacking trail. With young (and sometimes not so young) trailers packing their life into a 60L pack and heading to the airport, Bali has become a home away from home.
Complimenting and contrasting destinations like Southern Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos with its rich cultural heritage, stunning natural landscapes, and incredible hospitality, Bali is the OG backpacking destination, and it is not going anywhere in 2025.
