Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and is located northwest of the island of Java. The Big Durian offers a lot of things to do and many put the city on their must-visit list while in Asia. Since Bali is located quite close to Jakarta , many travelers chose to travel between the two cities when working their way to mainland Asia or to Australia.
Quick summary
The Bali to Jakarta route is served by plenty of low cost carriers which makes flying really affordable. Single tickets start at US$30 and you can get between the two places in about 1 ½ hours.
But many budget travelers choose to travel either by a combination of bus, ferry and train or by bus and ferry. It does cost less than flying but you’ll be traveling about 24 hours (if there aren’t any delays).

The alternative is to take the bus and ferry from Bali to Jakarta. Tickets can be bought from the travel agents in the town(s). Two companies operate on this route: Lorena and Pahala Kencana (buses depart Denpasar at 6:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.)
