The following are the prohibitions for tourists while in Bali, as summarized from various sources.
- Leaving the House During Nyepi
Religious holidays in Bali such as Nyepi are certainly worthy of respect by tourists.
When that day comes, tourists are also not allowed to roam or leave their homes, as local people do.
You just need to buy food stock for a day and then don't leave the house during Nyepi.
- Disrespect in the Sacred Area
Don't get into trouble in Bali because you are considered impolite, especially when you are in holy and sacred places on the Island of the Gods.
You must maintain your behavior and not tarnish the sanctity of the holy places in Bali, because it is not impossible if you do so you can get harsh criticism until you are expelled from Bali.
- Stepping over or stepping on offerings
While in Bali, you will see many 'offerings' or canangs around the environment, which are deliberately placed by the local community.
It is Balinese culture that must be respected, so you must know the rules.
