About this tour
This seven-hour private countryside loop takes you beyond Ubud's central bustle into rural Bali. Start at a traditional compound in Batuan Village to understand how Balinese architecture balances space and spirituality, then walk the Campuhan Ridge for unobstructed valley views. The afternoon covers Tegalalang's stacked rice paddies, Tirta Empul's spring-fed temple pools said to purify bathers, and finishes at Tegenungan Waterfall cascading into lush greenery. Your English-speaking driver handles all logistics and entrance fees.
Highlights
- Traditional Balinese house compound in Batuan Village

- Tegalalang Rice Terrace layered across hillsides
- Tirta Empul temple with sacred spring pools
- Tegenungan Waterfall surrounded by dense valley
What to expect
Expect a mix of walking and driving across Ubud's countryside fringe. The Campuhan Ridge Walk is the day's main leg—roughly one hour of gently undulating terrain offering wide-open sightlines. Rice terrace viewing is mostly from viewpoints, though you can wander the paddies themselves (optional donation to locals). Temple visits involve modest climbing and respectful dress codes. The waterfall stop is brief but photogenic. You'll be moving between locations regularly, so wear comfortable shoes and carry water. The pace suits various fitness levels, though those with back issues, cardiac concerns, or pregnancy should skip this.
Good to know
Hotel pickup and drop-off included. Meals not provided—eat beforehand or pack snacks. The rice terrace donation supports local communities and isn't mandatory but appreciated. Wear sturdy walking shoes and sun protection. Bring a light layer for temple entries requiring covered shoulders.
