What happens
Umanis Galungan is for visiting relatives and enjoying the day out. After a day of ceremony, Balinese families head to the beach, waterfalls, the zoo or the mall together.
Impact on your trip
Local attractions — Sanur, Kuta, Lovina beaches, waterfalls in Gianyar and Tabanan — are packed with domestic visitors. Parking fills up and queues get long.
What you can do
If you want quiet, save popular spots for another day. If you want to see Bali actually on holiday, this is the day — the mood is warm and full of families.
