Overview

Tegalalang rice terrace north of Ubud
Stop 1

Tegalalang Rice Terrace & Coffee Plantation

We start at the iconic stepped rice fields north of Ubud, hand-carved over generations and still fed by Bali's thousand year old subak irrigation system. Right beside it, walk through a working plantation to see how coffee grows and taste the famous kopi luwak straight from the source. Tastings are complimentary.

Purification pools at Tirta Empul holy water temple
Stop 2

Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple

Bali's most sacred spring temple, where Balinese Hindus have performed the melukat purification ritual for over a thousand years. You're welcome to join the ritual yourself - we'll arrange a sarong and walk you through the etiquette so you can take part with confidence and respect.

Rock-cut shrines at Gunung Kawi temple
Stop 3 · Optional

Gunung Kawi Temple

An 11th-century wonder carved directly into the rock face of a river valley. Ten giant shrines, each cut from the living cliff, reached by a staircase down through emerald rice paddies. It's quieter than the famous temples. A little walking, a lot of reward - let your driver know if you'd like to add it on.

Carved entrance of Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave
Stop 4

Goa Gajah - The Elephant Cave

A 9th-century sanctuary whose cave mouth is carved into a monstrous demon face you step straight through. Inside are ancient meditation niches; outside, bathing pools and jungle paths lead down to hidden shrines. One of Ubud's oldest and most mysterious sites.

Long-tailed macaques at the Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud
Stop 5

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

We finish in the heart of Ubud at a moss-covered jungle temple complex, home to more than 700 long-tailed macaques. Walk beneath ancient banyan roots and past weathered stone guardians in one of Bali's most atmospheric sanctuaries. Keep a firm hold on your belongings and give the monkeys room, and they are easy enough to be around.
