The bus journey from Jogja to Denpasar (Bali)is a long one and can take upto 16-18 hrs. You have a choice of buses available-from cheap to luxury airconditioned bus options. Go for the luxury (A/C bus) option. The bus will go from Jogja to the port city of Nganjuk/Ketapang near Surabaya in eastern Java and then the bus will be loaded onto a ferry which will crossover to Gilimanuk port city of Bali (this happens in the night time). The total one way cost of the luxury bus from Jogja to Denpasar was IDR 120,000 in May 2007.Once your bus sets off in bali, the drive is excellant (early morning hours) and within an hour or so, you will be in Denpasar. Most of the Indonesians will travel by this route to Bali.
