Bali Basics: Perfect Half Day Tour of Ubud Monkey Forest and Tegalalang Rice Terraces

Taking you on a memorable journey through the beautiful island of Bali, this tour is the perfect way to soak in the enigma of this pretty place. From the sacred roots of the Monkey Forest to the vibrancy of a local market to the magical panoramas of Tegalalang, it’s the real Balinese flavour that you definitely need a taste of!

This half day tour kick starts with the amazing Ubud Monkey Forest, also known as Mandala Suci Wenara Wana. This fourteenth century wonder is home to over 700 long-tailed macaques amidst an exotic shroud of greenery and three equally exquisite Balinese temples - the Pura Dalem Agung, Pura Beji and Pura Prajapati. From the enchanting ambiance of this sanctuary, we will dive into the eclectic frenzy of a local market where you can lose yourself among some incredible souvenirs and handicrafts. You can even catch sight of the regal Ubud palace from the market, standing tall like a fortress of history bang in the middle of contemporary lives.

The excitement continues to the stunning Tegalalang Rice Terraces, one of the most popular ones in Bali. As you sink into the ravishing panorama of terrace after impeccably-chiselled terrace of lush rice fields, we will pamper you with a magnificent lunch of traditional Balinese fare. Having satiated your palate, you can ramble along the rolling expanse of the eye-popping paddies as you learn more about this astonishing farming culture. A short visit to a nearby coffee plantation to admire the making of the most expensive coffee in the world ends the trip on a fascinating note!
