Bali Highlights Tour to Kintamani, Tirta Empul and Tegenungan

  • The guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to Batik Traditional Craft, a bustling art village where you may meet the people who keep the region's handicraft traditions alive.
  • Celuk village is the next stop, known for creating high-quality gold and silver handicrafts. This village in Gianyar Regency is renowned for its uniqueness and excellence in gold and silver artisan manufacture. Almost all of the families and villagers are Balinese, with professional, competent, and artistic souls who create unique designs and a wide variety of gold and silver products. This crafting community has a long history of producing gold and silver items sold locally, nationally, and internationally. The town produces a wide range of jewellery, including rings, necklaces, earrings, hairpins, brooches, and other items as souvenirs or export goods.
  • Next, head to Batuan Temple, a prominent landmark in Batuan noted for its traditional Balinese arts and paintings. With its exquisite carvings, colourful embellishments, and shrines, it is incredibly extravagant. It has a primary courtyard, a secondary courtyard, and a main courtyard, which is typical of Balinese architecture. Within its 0.65-hectare compound, the temple has a vast complex of shrines. Its primary attractions include well-preserved sandstone bas-reliefs and traditional Balinese temple construction. Like many other temples in Bali, Batuan Temple has three main areas: the outer area (Nista Mandala), the centre area (Madya Mandala), and the main temple area (Utama Mandala).
  • Continue your journey to Batuan art painting, one of the many artist villages surrounding Ubud. Batuan art painting is one of the greatest places on the island to find high-quality Balinese paintings, which are widely regarded as some of the best in the world. Encounter a unique style of painting that combines humanism and nature. Popular works include depictions of Balinese traditional activities and sculptures based on Buddhist and Hindu daily life.
  • After that, you will be taken to Tirta Empul Temple, located in Manukaya, Tampaksiring. The site serves as the mythical setting for a classic narrative of good versus evil and is also a place of national cultural significance. The temple, which dates from around 960 AD, stands as a silent witness to the old Balinese kingdom era, particularly during the Warmadewa Dynasty. This temple contains spring water that is used as holy water in Hindu religious ceremonies.
  • Then, drive to the highlands of the Kintamani volcano, the name of a region perched on a hill with wonderful surrounding views. From Kintamani, enjoy a breathtaking vista of Mount Batur's active volcano and the valley's large Lake Batur. The area is located on a plateau and is surrounded by cool weather. From Kintamani, you will also be able to see the rural area near the lake. This location is well known and visited by many tourists every day. Relax in the cool mountain breeze before enjoying a delicious buffet lunch at a charming restaurant with a view of the volcano and its crater lake.
  • Now, join a walking tour of a local coffee estate in the village of Temen. Learn about the uses and medical benefits of the herbs as you stroll past fragrant coffee, vanilla, fruits, spices, and clove plantations. Take a glimpse behind the scenes of the roasting process, particularly for Coffee Luwak, which is mostly produced in the Indonesian Archipelago. This coffee is prepared from coffee berries that have been consumed by the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus Hermaphroditus) and other related civets, then passed through their digestive tract.
  • Later, proceed to Tegenungan Waterfall, one of Bali's most well-known waterfalls, located south of Ubud. You can take photos or even swim in the pristine freshwater pool, which is regularly replenished by the roaring waterfall. This is a wonderful haven for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Bali's metropolitan streets and urban hubs. Its rushing waters cascade down black stone cliffs into a tranquil pool ideal for swimming, bathing, and relaxing. After changing, take in the view and enjoy a swim in the cool water before returning to your accommodation.
