Bali Ubud and Uluwatu (8D/7N)

Our first location today will be Goa Lawah, a cave “guarded” by thousands of bats. Their bodies are concentrated in such a small space that the surface of the upper wall appears to be an irregular muddy matter. Goa Lawah is a sacred temple and is surrounded by altars that protect the entrance.

Then, not far from there, we will reach Tenganan Village located in the northwest of Candidasa. Tenganan is a symmetrical Bali Aga village with walled houses and unique handicrafts. Here we can see the way in which true Balinese society lives its daily life through the traditions they have maintained, regardless of external cultural influences.

The next visit is the royal water garden Tirta Ganga. It is the favorite retreat in the municipality of Karangasem, east of Bali. Built in 1946 during the reign of Karangasem’s last king, Anak Agung Ola Karangasem Anglurah (1887 – 1966), Tirta Ganga saw a series of restorations after hot showers of volcanic ash from the 1963 Mount Agung eruption. The luxurious water gardens owned by the royal family of Karangasem features a spacious pool area, ponds and fountains surrounded by well-cut lawns adorned with steps, ornamental statues and tropical gardens. Enjoy the time admiring the beauty of this palace.

Then we return to hotel.

Our wonderful tour begins today at Kehen Temple. It is an ancient Hindu temple complex with unique architectural features. The steps extending from the ground to the courtyard and central hall of the temple are mythical figures of sandstone animals and Balinese folk statues. The walls of the temple are also adorned with Chinese porcelain dishes, which are a tribute to the historical relations between the local kingdom of Bali and China.

Afterwards, we continue to Penglipuran, a village that managed to preserve its 75-hectare bamboo forest located in the northern part of the village. The members of this village have a strong commitment to the “ayahan desa” system, a philosophy committed to respecting the land on which the village is located. 

We continue our march to reach Kintamani where we will enjoy the beautiful view of Danau Batur along with Gunung Batur in the background. Danau Batur is the largest lake in Bali that works as an irrigation source for all the farmers around it and the water use for the entire Balinese society in general. Since 1800, Mount Batur has erupted more than 20 times and is still active till now. Mount Batur, with 1. 717 meters high, is considered the female element, next to the male element of Mount Agung.

We return to the hotel to rest.

According to the indicated time, we will pick you up at your hotel and start the route. On this half-day tour, we will go to the famous Uluwatu temple. One of the “Temples of the World” that is located at the western end of Bukit Badung, where cliffs about 100 meters high plummet over the Atlantic Ocean on top of a spectacular promontory. This temple, whose origins date back to the tenth century, is one of the Sad Kahyangan, or six Temples of the World. Hundreds of mischievous macaques also live on this site.

At 6 pm, in the same place, after doing the tour at the temple, we will enjoy the representation of the most famous dance of Bali, the Kecak Dance, on top of this cliff with the background of the Atlantic Ocean that is painted orange under the sky of the Uluwatu Sea. The Kecak Dance is a famous dance that emerged in the thirties in the village of Bona. The origin of this dance comes from the story of Ramayana, a Hindu epic text that had the help of an army of monkeys in the mission to rescue his wife Shinta from the clutches of the evil King Rawana. This dance has one hundred men seated in a circle who dance in unison, moving their arms and torsos, accompanying the performance with vocal choruses.
