With the New Year upon us, it’s that time again when top tourist attractions in Bali adjust their prices. While these price increases generally don’t make too much of a difference even to the most budget-conscious of tourists, it’s good to be in the know.
Bali’s Penglipuran Village in Bangli Regency is the latest cultural tourist attraction to confirm it will raise prices in 2026. Penglipuran Village is one of the world’s most acclaimed tourist destinations and has been named by the UN World Tourism Organisation as one of the World’s Best Tourism Villages.
In 2026, there will be a few changes to the pricing system in place at Penglirpuran Village, designed to offer more inclusive experiences for visitors while ensuring the attraction generates sufficient revenue to continue improving the experience for tourists and the lives of local residents.
Lest we forget, Penglipuran Village is first and foremost a residential community that has opened up its homes and communal space for the world to enjoy.
In an updated publication online, Penglipuran Village explains that “in order to improve the quality of our services and support sustainable tourism management oriented towards cultural preservation, we would like to inform you that: Starting 1st January 2026, Penglipuran Tourism Village will only offer Visiting Packages for tourists. Entrance fees are no longer charged separately. Tourists are required to purchase a Visiting Package. Visiting Packages are available and can be purchased directly at the official ticket counter.”
The team adds, “Through this package, tourists will have a more focused, comfortable, and valuable visiting experience, while also contributing to the preservation of culture, the environment, and the well-being of the local community.”
Entry fees remain incredibly good value for the wide range of immersive cultural experiences on offer at Penglipuran.
There are two main ticketing options. Option one includes access to the Main Street, known as Jalan Utama Desa, as well as the residents’ homes and the bamboo forest. Ticket Option One is shared as IDR 50,000 for international adults and IDR 30,000 for international children.
Reduced rates are in place for domestic tourists, charged at IDR 25,000 and IDR 15,000 for adults and children, respectively.
Ticket Option Two is more immersive and includes a dedicated local guide. This is charged at IDR 125,000 for international adults, and IDR 100,000 for international children. This also includes access to all areas of Penglipuran Village open to the public, including residents’ homes and the bamboo forest.
Penglipuran Village also offers a whole programme of cultural activities as added extras, and these are hard to say no to.
From overnight stays to cooking classes, authentic breakfasts served on Jalan Desa Utama before the crowds arrive, to photoshoots in traditional Balinese clothing, there is so much to do at Penglipuran Village that our advice here at The Bali Sun is to allow more time than you think to really slow down and enjoy every moment of a visit to this truly special community.
Pengliuran Village is not the only cultural tourist attraction set to increase its entry fees in 2026. Bali’s Secret Monkey Forest, Alas Kedaton, will be introducing new ticket prices in 2026.
The planned ticket increase will see international adult tickets increase from IDR 30,000 to IDR 70,000, while children will be charged at IDR 60,000, up from IDR 20,000.
Alas Kedaton is perhaps Bali’s least crowded monkey forest attraction, welcoming an average of 50 tourists a day. This quiet and secluded monkey forest is located in the heart of Tabanan Regency and makes a great stop off on a day trip of the area, including visits to Tanah Lot Temple and Jatiluwih Rice Terraces.
