Denpasar — Bali authorities are urging residents and visitors to remain alert during the pancaroba, or seasonal transition, after landslides were reported at Eco Park Pelaga Glamping in Petang, Badung, and near Pura Kehen in Bangli. The warning was issued on Nov. 3, 2026, following heavy rain and was reported on Nov. 4.
The Bali Regional Disaster Management Agency, or BPBD, said unstable weather during the transition can increase the risk of flooding, standing water, fallen trees and landslides. The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, known as BMKG, described the transition as a period when atmospheric conditions can shift quickly and produce extreme weather over short periods.
The newly reported incident near Pura Kehen adds Bangli to the locations identified in the warning. The earlier landslide at Eco Park Pelaga Glamping in Pelaga village, Petang District, Badung, followed heavy rain and prompted a joint search operation after a glamping site was struck.
Why it matters to visitors in Bali
For foreign visitors, the warning applies beyond beaches and urban areas. Travel through hilly districts, access roads and areas near rivers can be affected by sudden rain, slope failures, fallen trees or flooding. Authorities are asking people in Bali to treat rapidly changing weather as a safety concern, particularly when heavy rain and strong winds occur together.
The warning does not announce a general closure of tourist destinations. It identifies hazards that can develop quickly during the seasonal transition and calls for heightened awareness. BMKG said the pancaroba period in Bali could last about 30 days, although its duration may vary by seasonal zone.
Authorities also highlighted the risk of flooding in areas prone to standing water and of trees falling during storms. The reports did not state a new islandwide travel restriction or a date for ending the alert.
