How much does an Indonesia trip cost from India in 2026? For a 6-7 day Indonesia holiday centred on Bali with one Java or Lombok add-on, budget INR 85,000 to 1.30 lakh per person from Delhi or Mumbai when you fly economy and stay in 3-star hotels or good villas. Return flights are typically INR 24,000 to 38,000 via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore when booked six weeks ahead, mid-range hotels average INR 2,500 to 6,000 per night twin share, and a realistic daily spend of INR 3,000 to 5,500 covers meals, scooters or Grab rides and an activity. Add IDR 500,000 for Visa on Arrival and, in Bali, IDR 150,000 for the tourist levy per person.
Indonesia is vast, so the cost shifts with the island. Bali is the default for Indian travellers in 2026 because it has the densest flight connections and packaged value, but Jakarta and Yogyakarta offer cheaper city stays while remote islands like Raja Ampat cost far more due to transfers. This guide prices a common first trip: 5 nights in Bali plus 1-2 nights in Java (Yogyakarta) or Ubud to Nusa Penida, using late August 2026 flight and hotel sampling.
How much are flights from India to Indonesia in 2026?
- Delhi to Bali (Denpasar) return, one stop: INR 24,000-36,000 via Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia or Malaysia Airlines. Singapore Airlines via Singapore is INR 32,000-38,000.
- Mumbai to Jakarta return, one stop: INR 23,000-34,000 via Kuala Lumpur. Jakarta is often INR 2,000-3,000 cheaper than Bali for the same airline.
- Mumbai to Bali return: INR 26,000-38,000 via Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok. Non-stop options are not available on Indian carriers in 2026.
- Domestic hops in Indonesia: Bali to Yogyakarta or Lombok return on Lion Air or Garuda costs INR 3,000-6,500 booked early. Ferries Bali to Nusa Penida are INR 900-1,600 return.
Book international and domestic legs together to protect connections on one ticket where possible. Peak pricing hits around Diwali and the December 20 to January 5 window, when Bali hotel rates rise 20-35 percent.
