About this tour
This eight to ten-hour tour threads through Ubud's working villages, showing you batik makers, silversmiths and wood carvers in their home workshops, then pushes uphill to Tirta Empul Temple and the coffee plantations around Mount Batur. You'll see how villagers actually live in traditional compounds, stop for coffee and lunch with views across the volcano, and end at Tegenungan waterfall after winding through rice terraces. Private vehicle, English-speaking guide, and hotel pickup included.

What to expect
Start with a drive through countryside villages where craftspeople work in their homes. You'll see the messy, unglamorous reality of batik production and meet smiths and sculptors at their workbenches. The temple visit involves some walking and steps. By mid-morning you'll reach cooler elevation where coffee plantations sit, and you'll taste local brews. Lunch happens with Mount Batur filling the view. The afternoon loops through valleys of rice fields before reaching the waterfall. Expect a full day of driving, walking in villages, and climbing at altitude.
