Some like to arrive in Bali a few days a head, and some like to stay a few days extra, others are only traveling for the retreat. First, you have to decide which dates you would like to travel.
Our best advice on finding the best tickets is to use search engines, such as momondo.com, to find the best and cheapest tickets. But, we recommend that you buy the tickets directly from the airline. Airlines will help you if your luggage is lost or your filght is delayed - thirdparty search engines will not.
The retreat is starting around 6pm on Sunday night, and is finished after breakfast (11.00) saturday morning. So make sure you are in Bali that time so you don’t miss anything.
If you are unsure about the route or time/date of arrival/departure, you are welcome to email us at hei@glodyoga.no and we are happy to look at your route for you. -
You can take a taxi, or ask us to arrange transportation. Our retreat center is about an hour drive from the airport.
