Itinerary
Start your day in the Sacred Monkey Forest, a jungle sanctuary home to Balinese long-tailed macaques and centuries-old temples. Walk shaded paths beneath giant banyan trees and learn how the site reflects the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, which connects humans, nature, and the divine. Your guide provides safety tips for observing monkeys without disturbing them.
Continue to Pakudui Village, a quiet settlement with terraced rice fields shaped by the traditional Subak irrigation system. The setting is peaceful and uncrowded, offering clear views of the surrounding valley. Take a short walk, enjoy the rural atmosphere, and capture clean landscape photos without the congestion of major tourist spots.
Travel to Ulu Petanu Waterfall, a scenic cascade reached by a short forest path and a series of steps. Swim in the cool natural pool, explore nearby rock formations, or relax by the water. Changing rooms and basic facilities are available. It’s a refreshing break before the final temple visit
End your tour at Holy Spring of Tirta Empul, a historic temple known for its freshwater springs and purification pools. Watch local worshippers perform their cleansing ritual or participate with guidance from your driver. Explore the courtyards, shrines, and koi ponds as you learn about the temple’s cultural significance before returning to your hotel

About Ubud
Ubud is Bali's cultural heart, a town of temples, craft villages and dance set among rice terraces and river gorges in the island's green uplands.
The town centres on the Ubud Palace and the busy market opposite, with traditional dance performed in temple courtyards in the evenings. Saraswati Temple's lotus ponds sit just off the main road, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary shelters long-tailed macaques among moss-covered shrines and giant banyan trees.
Top-ranked sights in Ubud: Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Sawah Terasering Tegalalang), Tegenungan Waterfall (Air Terjun Tegenungan), Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul).
