Bali is warm, casual and easy — but a few items make a real difference, and a few are easy to forget. Here's a practical packing list for 2026, with notes for travellers coming from Pakistan.
Clothes
- Light, breathable clothes (cotton/linen) — it's hot and humid
- Temple-appropriate outfit — something that covers shoulders and knees (a scarf or sarong works)
- Swimwear (pack two)
- A light rain jacket or compact umbrella, especially Nov–March
- Comfortable walking shoes + sandals
- One slightly nicer outfit for beach clubs or dinners
Tech & documents
- Passport (valid 6+ months) and a printed copy of your e-Visa
- Your tourist-tax QR code (pay online before you fly)
- Return/onward ticket and hotel bookings (entry checks may ask)
- Power adapter — Bali uses Type C/F plugs at 230V, same as Pakistan, so most of your chargers work as-is
- Power bank and a phone with an eSIM or local SIM for data
- Travel insurance details
Health & toiletries
- Reef-safe sunscreen (high SPF) and after-sun
- Mosquito repellent
- Any personal medication + a small first-aid kit
- Motion-sickness tablets (handy for the Nusa Penida boat)
Money
- Some cash in IDR for warungs, markets and small vendors
- A debit/credit card; use authorised money changers, never street stalls
- A scooter helmet is provided by rentals, but bring an International Driving Permit if you plan to ride
Don't over-pack
Laundry is cheap and everywhere in Bali, so you can pack lighter than you think.
