Our first destination is Batuan Temple, one of Bali’s oldest temples, dating back over 1,000 years. This temple is renowned for its stunning Balinese architecture, featuring intricate stone carvings that depict Hindu mythology. As you explore the temple, you’ll feel the deep spiritual atmosphere while admiring the beautifully preserved structures.

Next, we will visit Celuk Village, the artistic hub of Bali’s silver craftsmanship. Here, you can witness skilled artisans creating intricate silver jewelry using traditional techniques. If you’re interested, you can purchase a unique handcrafted piece as a souvenir to take home.

Then, we will continue our journey to Tegenungan Waterfall, a breathtaking cascade surrounded by lush tropical greenery. This is a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers, offering a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle. Take in the view, enjoy the cooling mist, or take a dip in the natural pool below.

After experiencing the beauty of Tegenungan Waterfall, we will head to Monkey Forest in Ubud. This sacred jungle sanctuary is home to hundreds of playful long-tailed macaques. Aside from interacting with the monkeys, you can also explore the ancient temples hidden within the forest, adding a mystical touch to your adventure.

Our journey then takes us to Tegalalang Rice Terrace, one of Bali’s most iconic landscapes. The stunning green terraces provide a breathtaking view, making it a great place for a leisurely walk, an Instagram-worthy photoshoot on the famous swing, or simply relaxing with a fresh coconut.

After soaking in the beauty of Tegalalang, we will take a break for lunch at D Alas, a scenic open-air restaurant set amidst lush tropical surroundings. Enjoy a delicious selection of Balinese and international dishes while taking in the serene jungle atmosphere.

After lunch, we will continue to Tirta Empul, a sacred temple known for its holy water purification pools. The natural spring water is believed to cleanse the body and soul from negative energy. You can take part in the purification ritual or simply admire the temple’s unique architecture and spiritual ambiance.

As our final stop, we will visit a Coffee Plantation, where you’ll get an inside look at Bali’s traditional coffee-making process. Enjoy a tasting session featuring various coffee and herbal tea flavors, including the world-famous Luwak coffee. This is the perfect way to end our journey before heading back to our starting point.
