Tegallalang Rice Terraces


Sumptuous and yet easily accessible!

Extremely photogenic, Tegallalang is without a doubt one of the most renowned sites to contemplate the ingenious terraced rice fields around Ubud.

Easily accessible thanks to the road close by, these rice fields were purposely adapted for strolls and you will have the chance to take a long or a short walk according to your preference.

In some places, rice growers may ask for a little donation for crossing their land.

Recommended visit duration: 45 to 75 minutes.

Tirta Empul


A deeply spiritual site.

Tirta Empul majestic holy springs are of the utmost significance to the Balinese, who attempt to visit them at least once a year for ritual purification. Their existence is estimated of over a thousand years and are said to have the fantastic property of healing the aches of the body.

By the purification pond, you can observe the meticulous ritual of the believers, who go from spring to spring, reciting prayers and perpetuating traditions.

For those of you wishing to take the time to be purified while respecting, as appropriate, the Balinese customs, the Balinese Purification in Tirta Sudamala is dedicated to this exceptional spiritual experience.

Recommended visit duration: 45 to 60 minutes.

Penglipuran Village


Faithful to ancestral traditions

Penglipuran inhabitants decided to preserve their traditional way of life by forbidding several modern nuisances. In that aim, they established a certain number of rules such as prohibition of motorised vehicles, preservation of the traditional wooden houses and waste control for instance.

You will have the opportunity to thoroughly observe the organization of this admirably preserved village, while helping the inhabitants to pursue their efforts with your participation to the fixed entry contribution.

The place remains very little touristic, unlike Tenganan (east from Bali), which became too commercial due to rather insisting local handcraft sellers.

Recommended visit duration: 45 to 60 minutes.

Kehen


The Besakih you are dreaming of.

Dedicated to Shiva, Kehen is one of Bali’s most remarkable Hindu temples with Besakih; both sharing some similarities. But unlike the latter, Kehen temple offers optimal visit conditions as it remains reserved to initiated persons and the solicitations are discrete.

The temple being built in terraces on a hillside, you will access it via a monumental stairway ornamented with impressive volcanic rock sculptures. In complete tranquillity, you will admire there a sanctuary with 11 roofs (“meru”), a hundred very elegant statues and a gigantic banian (a kind of ficus), which you will appreciate for its pleasant shade.

Recommended visit duration: 45 minutes.

Tasting of Balinese drinks


Would you taste the most atypical of all coffees?

The visit of this farm is the opportunity to have a closer look at some plantations (cacao, coffee, vanilla and even tropical fruits) which we often consume without wondering how they grow!

There, you will have the chance to taste a wide range of teas and coffees in a lush setting, while discovering the particularly famous Luwak coffee‘s disconcerting production process. This coffee, among the rarest and most expensive coffees in the world is made in Bali and reputed for its light bitterness, its fullness, and its dark chocolate and grilled nuts undertones. Coffee lovers: this is an absolute must try!

Recommended duration: 45 minutes.
