Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Journey into the heart of Ubud to visit the Sacred Monkey Forest, a lush 12.5-hectare nature reserve that is home to over 700 Balinese long-tailed macaques. Wander through shaded jungle pathways and ancient banyan trees as you observe the monkeys in their natural environment. Inside the sanctuary, discover three historic temples still guarded by the monkeys, where nature and spirituality coexist in harmony.
Gunung Kawi
Step back in time at Gunung Kawi, an 11th-century temple and royal funerary complex set along the sacred Pakerisan River. This archaeological site is famed for its ten monumental shrines (candi), each carved directly into the cliff face and standing around seven meters tall. Surrounded by lush rice terraces and tranquil streams, Gunung Kawi offers a glimpse into Bali’s ancient spiritual traditions and royal history.
Holy Spring Water Blessing
Experience one of Bali’s most sacred rituals at the island’s holy spring temple. Here, crystal-clear waters flow from ancient fountains believed to hold purifying powers. Witness local devotees as they perform a traditional water blessing, and, if you wish, take part in the ritual yourself for a deeply spiritual and rejuvenating experience.
Tegalallang Rice Terrace
Take a gentle trek through Bali’s iconic rice fields and experience the daily life of local farmers up close. Stroll along winding paths surrounded by emerald-green terraces, learn how these centuries-old irrigation systems sustain village life, and soak in the peaceful rhythm of rural Bali.
D’Alas Warung Restaurant
Pause for a well-deserved break at D’Alas Warung, a jungle-side restaurant surrounded by lush greenery. Enjoy authentic Balinese dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients while taking in serene views of rice terraces and tropical forest. It’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and savor the flavors of Bali in a truly natural setting.
