Tourists planning trips to Bali in 2026 should be aware of upcoming price adjustments at several popular cultural attractions. While the increases are not expected to significantly impact most travelers, understanding these changes is advisable.
Price Adjustments at Penglipuran Village
Penglipuran Village in Bangli Regency, recognized by the UN World Tourism Organisation as one of the World’s Best Tourism Villages, will implement new pricing structures beginning January 1st, 2026. The village will transition to a “Visiting Package” system, replacing separate entrance fees. These packages are designed to enhance visitor experiences and support both cultural preservation and the well-being of local residents.
Two package options will be available. Ticket Option One, priced at IDR 50,000 for international adults and IDR 30,000 for international children (IDR 25,000 and IDR 15,000 respectively for domestic tourists), includes access to Jalan Utama Desa, residents’ homes, and the bamboo forest. Ticket Option Two, costing IDR 125,000 for international adults and IDR 100,000 for international children, adds a dedicated local guide to the experience.
Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest Also Increasing Prices
In addition to Penglipuran Village, Bali’s Secret Monkey Forest, Alas Kedaton, will also introduce new ticket prices in 2026. International adult tickets will increase from IDR 30,000 to IDR 70,000, while children’s tickets will rise from IDR 20,000 to IDR 60,000. Alas Kedaton currently welcomes an average of 50 tourists daily.
These price adjustments come as Bali continues to navigate the balance between welcoming tourism and preserving its unique cultural heritage.
