Ubud Private Nature and Temple Tour

Ecco il punto di partenza

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

• Free‑roaming macaques
• Home to over 1,000 long-tailed Balinese macaques, the forest allows you to observe them as they play, groom, climb, and occasionally cheekily swipe at loose items like sunglasses or snacks
• Ancient temples nestled in the jungle
• There are three 14th-century Hindu temples—Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, Pura Beji, and Pura Prajapati—winding through the forest. These sacred sites are integral to local spirituality and culture. You can admire them from the gates
• Lush, sacred forest landscape
• Covering 12–31 hectares, the sanctuary features towering banyan, nutmeg, and tropical trees—some over a century old—connected by paved pathways, mossy statues, stone bridges, and natural springs .
• Conservation & cultural experiences
• It's not just tourism—the sanctuary plays a key role in wildlife conservation and educates visitors on ecological balance. On weekends, you might even catch Balinese dance performances like the Frog or Lubdaka dances

Tegalalang

Tirta Empul Temple

• Sacred Purification Pools
• At its heart lies the petirtaan bathing complex fed by a perennial spring, believed to be holy (amritha). Devotees perform the melukat purification ritual under rows of stone water spouts. There are around 30 spouts divided across pools for different ritual purposes, including healing, protection, and general cleansing
• Traditional Temple Architecture
• The temple is laid out in line with Balinese trimandala principles—three nested courtyards: Jaba Pura (front), Jaba Tengah (central, with pools), and Jeroan (inner sanctum). You’ll pass through ornate candi bentar gateways and Bali-style carvings, stone meru towers, guardian figures, and shrines in lush surroundings
• Lush, Sacred Ambience
• The temple is enveloped by gardens, koi ponds, and mature tropical trees. Incense wafts through the air, and the sound of cascading water adds to the serene, contemplative atmosphere. Participate in a Melukat Ritual
• Visitors can respectfully participate in the melukat purification

Pemulan Bali Coffee Plantation

• Lush Coffee & Spice Gardens
• Wander through vibrant plantations of Arabica and Robusta coffee bushes intercropped with spices like vanilla, cacao, coconut, and ginger. The volcanic highland soil of Kintamani makes for superb growing conditions
• Behind‑the‑Scenes Coffee Processing
• Learn the full coffee-making process—seeing the bean's journey from:
• Harvesting ripe cherries
• Washing, drying, roasting, and grinding (often with traditional tools like mortar and pestle)
• Brewing methods using local techniques like open-fire roasting or Balinese-style drip filters
• Kopi Luwak Demonstrations
• Discover Bali’s infamous Kopi Luwak—coffee made from beans eaten and excreted by civet cats. You may observe civets (some in enclosures) and taste this rare brew—though ethical concerns arise, and quality can vary widely
• Tasting Sessions & Workshops
• Enjoy free tastings of 10–14 varieties—traditional black coffees, flavored brews (vanilla, coconut, mangosteen), and herbal teas (ginger, turmeric).

Tegenungan Waterfall

• Majestic Waterfall & Clear Pool
• A powerful cascade drops about 15–30 meters into a refreshing plunge pool nestled in a lush ravine. The pool is safe to swim in (depending on current conditions), and you might even catch a rainbow dancing through the mist
