What to expect
You'll start with a guided walk through a working village where daily life unfolds among coconut trees and water channels—a quieter introduction to how Balinese people actually live. From there, the pace picks up visiting three major temples: Mengwi with its layered shrines and intricate carvings; the monkey forest where hundreds of macaques roam freely (keep bags close and don't make eye contact); and Tanah Lot, Bali's most photographed temple, perched on a rock surrounded by sea. The day winds down with a proper sit-down dinner featuring regional Balinese dishes at TUGU, a heritage restaurant.
Good to know
Wear loose, modest clothing (knees and shoulders covered at temples); sarongs available at entrances. Bring a light layer—temple grounds are breezy. The monkeys are accustomed to people but will steal sunglasses and loose items. Dinner is included; check if you have dietary requirements.
