With the New Year upon us, it’s that time again when top tourist attractions in Bali adjust their prices. While these price increases generally don’t make too much of a difference even to the most budget-conscious of tourists, it’s good to be in the know.
Bali’s Penglipuran Village in Bangli Regency is the latest cultural tourist attraction to confirm it will raise prices in 2026. Penglipuran Village is one of the world’s most acclaimed tourist destinations and has been named by the UN World Tourism Organisation as one of the World’s Best Tourism Villages.
In 2026, there will be a few changes to the pricing system in place at Penglirpuran Village, designed to offer more inclusive experiences for visitors while ensuring the attraction generates sufficient revenue to continue improving the experience for tourists and the lives of local residents.
Lest we forget, Penglipuran Village is first and foremost a residential community that has opened up its homes and communal space for the world to enjoy.
In an updated publication online, Penglipuran Village explains that “in order to improve the quality of our services and support sustainable tourism management oriented towards cultural preservation, we would like to inform you that: Starting 1st January 2026, Penglipuran Tourism Village will only offer Visiting Packages for tourists. Entrance fees are no longer charged separately. Tourists are required to purchase a Visiting Package. Visiting Packages are available and can be purchased directly at the official ticket counter.”
The team adds, “Through this package, tourists will have a more focused, comfortable, and valuable visiting experience, while also contributing to the preservation of culture, the environment, and the well-being of the local community.”
Entry fees remain incredibly good value for the wide range of immersive cultural experiences on offer at Penglipuran.
There are two main ticketing options. Option one includes access to the Main Street, known as Jalan Utama Desa, as well as the residents’ homes and the bamboo forest. Ticket Option One is shared as IDR 50,000 for international adults and IDR 30,000 for international children.
Reduced rates are in place for domestic tourists, charged at IDR 25,000 and IDR 15,000 for adults and children, respectively.
Ticket Option Two is more immersive and includes a dedicated local guide. This is charged at IDR 125,000 for international adults, and IDR 100,000 for international children. This also includes access to all areas of Penglipuran Village open to the public, including residents’ homes and the bamboo forest.
Penglipuran Village also offers a whole programme of cultural activities as added extras, and these are hard to say no to.
From overnight stays to cooking classes, authentic breakfasts served on Jalan Desa Utama before the crowds arrive, to photoshoots in traditional Balinese clothing, there is so much to do at Penglipuran Village that our advice here at The Bali Sun is to allow more time than you think to really slow down and enjoy every moment of a visit to this truly special community.
Pengliuran Village is not the only cultural tourist attraction set to increase its entry fees in 2026. Bali’s Secret Monkey Forest, Alas Kedaton, will be introducing new ticket prices in 2026.
The planned ticket increase will see international adult tickets increase from IDR 30,000 to IDR 70,000, while children will be charged at IDR 60,000, up from IDR 20,000.
Alas Kedaton is perhaps Bali’s least crowded monkey forest attraction, welcoming an average of 50 tourists a day. This quiet and secluded monkey forest is located in the heart of Tabanan Regency and makes a great stop off on a day trip of the area, including visits to Tanah Lot Temple and Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.

Bali gov. say they will start screening tourists for proof-of-funds and their detailed itinerary while in Bali.
"Starting in 2026, the island’s provincial government plans to screen incoming international tourists based on their financial capacity, length of stay and planned activities."
How this is going about is not revealed. If it is not an Indonesia revied law requirement then immigration will not enforce this. So how are the Balinese going to enforce this legally and practical??
As there is a new Indonesian law in force from today criminalizing criticism of gov. institutions I will not say my honest opinion of this proposal. That is how supressing free speech work. Oops, maybe I should not have written that...

Foreigners need to be warned about new laws taking effect 2nd January 2025:
1. Indonesia's new Criminal Code (KUHP) Article 411 criminalizes sex outside of marriage, including extramarital sex and, effectively, same-sex conduct (due to no same-sex marriage recognition), with penalties up to 1 year jail or IDR 10 million fine.
Theoretically police will only act on complaints from nearest family, but obviously this new law can be used to blackmail or entrap tourists and foreigners.
2. It is from now a criminal offence to insult the President or State Institutions: The law includes provisions that criminalize insulting the president, vice president, or state institutions. Best not to mention president, VP or any gov. institutions from now on.
3. Exit Bans: Foreign nationals with unresolved legal or regulatory obligations, such as ongoing criminal cases, can now be prevented from leaving the country for up to six months, extendable for an additional six months. So somebody can report you to police without merit, and you will be held hostage for minimum 6 months!
4. Updated blasphemy law that is vague and and will be subjective enforced to trap a lot more people, including foreigners. Again never ever mention anything to do with religion online!

@Exp,
Looks like all of us that have posted are.....
* Going to jail * Being deported * Being detained for 6 months with a 6 month extension. Cheaper than KITAS ? * Fined Rp10j for a bit of nooky
BTW Exp, what does this have to do with the subject at hand ?

@Exp, It seems that many Indonesians will ask for asylum in foreign countries, meanwhile foreign tourism could significant decline or even run against zero if tourists aren’t willing to bring plenty millions for fines or to “extend” their “holidays”.
