Several useful 1-stop itineraries exist from Varanasi to Bali. IndiGo connects to Singapore via its codeshare network, where Scoot or Singapore Airlines takes you onward to Denpasar. AirAsia offers a competitive VNS–KUL–DPS routing with a transfer at Kuala Lumpur. Bangkok-based connections via Thai AirAsia or Thai Airways are another option. Some travellers find it convenient to position first to Delhi (DEL) or Mumbai (BOM) for a broader choice of Southeast Asia-bound carriers before heading to Bali.
Bali's high season runs July–August and December–January, when Indian school holidays align with Bali's peak tourist influx — fares from VNS spike accordingly. The most affordable windows are typically February–March (after the holiday rush) and September–early October (Bali's shoulder season). Booking 8–10 weeks in advance for these off-peak periods often yields the best value. The Nyepi (Balinese New Year) closure in March briefly shuts DPS airport — factor this into your planning.
Varanasi to Singapore (SIN) takes ≈ 5–6h; the onward SIN–DPS leg adds another ≈ 2h 30m. Via Kuala Lumpur, the VNS–KUL leg is ≈ 4h 30m followed by ≈ 2h 30m to Bali. A Bangkok connection (VNS–BKK–DPS) runs similarly — around 3h 30m + 2h 30m flying time. The minimum total elapsed time, including a reasonable layover, is around 11 hours; connections timed for a long overnight layover can stretch to 15+ hours. Singapore's Changi is consistently rated among the world's best transit airports if you have extra time.
As of June 2026, economy round-trip fares from VNS to DPS range from approximately ₹25,000 (budget, booked well ahead) to ₹60,000+ on full-service carriers. Budget carriers like AirAsia typically sell unbundled fares — add 20 kg check-in baggage separately. Singapore Airlines and Air India connections include 23–30 kg checked baggage. Always verify allowances for each separate flight segment, as mixing carriers on one itinerary can result in different rules per leg.
Varanasi's Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS) is a compact, single-terminal airport ≈ 25 km north-west of Varanasi city. It handles a handful of international services alongside domestic routes. Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is a modern single-terminal facility ≈ 13 km south-west of Kuta. The airport has an international and domestic wing; arrivals from India will use the international terminal where you can obtain your Visa on Arrival before clearing immigration.
Indian passport holders can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at Bali's Ngurah Rai airport, valid for 30 days with one extension possible. The fee is approximately USD 35. You can also purchase an e-VOA online before travel to skip the VoA queue. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity. Indonesia is straightforward for Indian travellers from a visa perspective — but confirm current fees and the e-VOA portal at /visas before booking.
Bali's dry season (May–September) is widely considered the best time to visit — sunny days, lower humidity and ideal conditions for beaches, rice terrace treks and temple visits. July–August is peak season with higher prices and crowds. April–May and September–October offer a pleasant balance of good weather and reasonable costs. Note that Nyepi (Balinese Day of Silence) in March sees the entire island, including the airport, shut for 24 hours — schedule your flights around this unique annual event.
