DO

*
Convert money at a reputable looking money changer shop and independently calculate before changing. Shop around as the rate may vary, check whether the commission is added or not.
*
Put on loads of high factor waterproof Sun Cream especially if you intend to spend a lot of time in the water
*
Drink a lot of bottled water and eat a lot of fresh fruits - do your body a favour
*
Be careful with your belonging at all times. Leave your important documents in your hotel safe and wander around with the copies.

Haggle when buying, except on price-tagged goods
*
Buy "immodium" to relieve bouts of Bali belly

Reconfirm your outbound flight.

*
Touch people's heads. It's very offensive to Balinese Hindus
*
Enter temples during menstruation.

Forget to put salt on your food and drink water - you will probably sweat a lot
*
Use your left hand in sacking or handing over something to someone as it is considered impolite. If there is no other option then express your apology.

If you are looking for a honeymoon destinations drenched into beauty and full of enjoyable activities? Well, I recommend take a tour to Manali for your honeymoon holidays. I bet it will be a delightful and memorable experience. Honeymooners from all around the world come here for honeymoon holidays. Manali is one of the most beautiful hill stations of India.

Bali is a province of the Republic of Indonesia. Honeymooners and surfers (and sometimes honeymooning surfers) flock to the island for its beautiful beaches, while active travelers are drawn to hike able volcanoes, rice paddies, and lakes. The predominantly Hindu island has strong spiritual roots, evidenced by its many temples and shrines. As luxury accommodations open at a rapid rate, existing moderate hotels and resorts are playing catch-up with renovations and upgrades designed to lure visitors with western-style comforts
