About this tour

Finish exploring Ubud's royal palace, traditional market, and village streets. Hotel pickup and drop-off included; lunch is on you.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and navigates to Tegallalang first, where you'll walk among the rice fields and photograph the dramatic topography. The drive to Kintamani takes you uphill; the plateau offers bracing air and sweeping views over the caldera. After lunch (your choice, your cost), Tirta Empul Temple is a working Hindu sanctuary—remove shoes, dress modestly, and descend stairs to the spring pools where locals pray and purify. If interested, join the bathing ritual. Ubud comes last: stroll the palace grounds, browse the market's wares, then wander the town at leisure before heading back.
