Bringing together some of best sights in Ubud as well as the beautiful Taman Ayun and Tanah Lot temples, this tour will leave your travel bug satiated and how! This tour is your best chance to get up close and personal with the artistic lifestyle of Ubudians, with a chance to visit the local art centre and get a taste of their expertise synonymous with the village, including woodworks, carvings, sculptures and of course, Batik.
Post this fascinating tryst with the real artisans of Ubud, we will head out for a short trek along one of the delightful rice fields where you can soak in the freshness of the greenery surrounding you and feast your eyes on the stunning stretch of lush green terraces. The Ubud Monkey Forest will complement this serenity perfectly thanks to its ambiance of spirituality and mysticism, albeit superbly amazing you with their 700+ resident long-tailed macaques in their natural homes - a tropical rainforest. After this charming visit, you can indulge in a quick lunch of native Balinese delights at one of the recommended warungs, if you like.
One hearty meal and a happy tummy later, we will move on to yet another uniquely gourmet experience - witnessing the production as well as tasting of the most expensive coffee in the world - Kopi Luwak or civet coffee. The beautiful coffee plantation is a great compliment this one-of-a-kind variety of coffee. The inimitably peaceful as well as pretty Pura Taman Ayun, the royal family water temple of the Mengkwi royalty, is scheduled next on the itinerary. Set amidst beautifully manicured gardens and ponds, and surrounded by an elegant moat, the temple is a striking one in terms of its beauty.
The highlight of this amazing tour is definitely the gorgeous Tanah Lot temple, known for its impeccable offshore location and a backdrop of spectacular sunsets. It’s a magnificent experience watching the sky explode into an infinite array of orange and reddish shades, reflecting onto the calm water and creating an unspeakable aura of sublimity that can barely be contained into words. Mama Nature truly does inspire, doesn’t she?
