Escape the hustle and bustle of South Bali and venture into the peaceful landscapes of Ubud. Your adventure begins with a visit to the famous Tegalalang Rice Terraces, where you can walk the ancient pathways and marvel at the intricate, green landscape shaped by generations of farmers using the UNESCO-recognized Subak irrigation system.
Next, dive into the island’s spiritual side at Tirta Empul Temple. This sacred water temple is dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu and is renowned for its holy spring water. You will have the opportunity to participate in the traditional Melukat purification ritual, bathing under the sacred spouts alongside local devotees (optional).
Afterward, stimulate your senses at a Balinese Traditional House & Plantation. Learn about local herbs and spices, see how traditional Balinese coffee is made, and enjoy sampling a variety of unique coffees and exotic teas, including the world’s most expensive coffee, Kopi Luwak.
The final part of your tour is dedicated to waterfall chasing. First, visit the peaceful Tibumana Waterfall, known for its single, straight cascade into a beautiful natural pool—a perfect spot for a refreshing dip. Conclude your day at the stunning Kanto Lampo Waterfall, famous for its terraced rock formations that create a unique, segmented flow, offering incredible photo opportunities before you return to your hotel.
