An Indian man’s account of spending two months in Bali has caught attention online, especially his month-long beachside routine. His days included morning walks, yoga, massages, gym sessions, meals by the sea and gelato.
X user Saran Shanmugam recently shared details of the trip, describing a lifestyle that felt less like a holiday and more like putting everyday life on pause.
Man shares Bali beachside routine
The post was shared by X user Saran Shanmugam. The caption reads, “Years ago, I spent two months travelling around Bali. One month exploring villages across the island and another month doing absolutely nothing but living by the beach.”
He then listed his daily routine during the month he stayed by the beach.
His day began with a 45-minute morning walk on the beach, followed by group yoga, where participants only had to tip the yoga master. Breakfast was mostly healthy, followed by a $7 massage and a scooter ride around town.

Lunch was by the beach, followed by a one-hour gym workout and healthy snacks. He then had another massage before enjoying a couple of drinks by the beach and having dinner.
The day ended with a night walk and a gelato. He described sitting on the steps outside the shops, slowly eating it while watching people go by before returning to the hotel.
“Repeat. Every. Single. Day. Honestly, it was hard to call that a vacation. It felt like life had been put on pause,” he wrote.
Shanmugam also said the two-month trip included a month spent exploring villages across Bali, followed by the month of staying in one place and following the same routine.
