What to expect
Start at Sangeh Monkey Forest, where macaques roam freely amongst banyan trees and a thousand-year-old temple. The monkeys are habituated to visitors but unpredictable—keep valuables secure. Next, drive to Jatiluwih's terraced hillsides where you'll walk through working rice paddies, spotting farmers and water buffalo. The final leg climbs toward Batukaru Temple through cooler air and cloud cover; the hike is steady and moderately demanding. Plan for multiple stops, variable weather at altitude, and terrain that shifts from paved paths to uneven ground.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a rain jacket—mountain weather changes quickly. The monkey forest requires vigilance with loose items; guides advise keeping bags zipped. Modest dress suits temple visits (covered shoulders and knees). Prams work for lower sections, but strollers struggle on terrain. Lunch is included but notify your operator of dietary needs in advance.
