Description:

On this private tour explore several of Bali's most spectacular sites between Ubud and Kintamani. See holy temples including the distinctive Gunung Kawi, admire breathtaking volcanic landscapes, and encounter rural communities on a trek through paddy fields.

The day begins at Tirta Empul—a sacred temple of huge importance to the island's Hindu population—where people bathe in the waters during a purification ritual. As you head north to Kintamani, pass through plantations that provide so much for the local economy and smell the fragrances of coffee as well as spices such as vanilla and clove.

Gaze out an admire the awe-inspiring views at Lake Batur, formed in the caldera of the once mighty volcano and now flanked by a smaller, yet still active cone. Then refuel with a tasty lunch in a nearby restaurant before the afternoon's nature trek.

Near Ubud start at the striking Gunung Kawi temple, spreading over several rice terraces and crowned with towering shrines carved from the rock. Then descend the steps, head into the pastoral landscape of Tegalalang, and pass through villages where communities of workers farm the land to harvest rice and other exportable crops.
