Bali Ubud Candidasa Seminyak and Gili Trawangan (10D/9N)

At the right time, we will pick you up at your hotel and start our route to Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave. Goa Gajah is quoted in the lontar, (manuscript on palm leaf) Nagarakertagama of 1635 as a Balinese place called Lwa Gajah (Elephant Water or River), the abode of a Buddhist priest. The entrance is formed by a monstrous head with an open mouth and two hands that seem to open the entrance like a theater curtain. Around there are fantastic figures sculpted from leaves, animals, waves and humans fleeing scared from the mouth. In this same site both Hindu and Buddhist elements have been found. In fact, the cave can attest to an ancient precursor of Hindu and Buddhist symbology that, today, broadly defines the culture of Bali. Afterwards, we will purify ourselves at Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple. It is one of the least visited temple complexes on the island of Bali, however, it is one of the most beautiful and peaceful. It features green gardens around ponds filled with blooming lotuses and carps, and ancient sanctuaries surrounded by crystal clear pools fed by natural springs. Then, we will stop at the famous rice terraces of Tegalalang where we will see the daily life of the locals and where you will find several swings to take pictures and take a precious memory of your time in Bali.

Finally before returning to our hotel in Ubud, De Gunung Kawi, we march to Tegenungan, a majestic waterfall wrapped in a natural environment that will allow us to bathe and relax after this day of excursion. After the tour we return to the hotel.

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up and we will visit the places on the fantastic route of come2indonesia. The first place will be the Taman Ayun Temple (it was founded in the seventeenth century), located in the village of Mengwi which until 1891 was the seat of a powerful dating back to the Gelgel Dynasty, which is surrounded by a moat that looks like a landscaped sanctuary, which explains the term taman, or garden. The temple is a penyawangan or place to worship other sacred sites. From Taman Ayun, the compass heads towards Jatiluwih,where we will undoubtedly admire and enjoy a beautiful view of rice terraces that encompass the entire landscape of South Bali. The name Jatiluwih is composed of two words, Jati which means really and Luwih which means beautiful, good, special. Without a doubt, this place not only has a beautiful name but that beauty is really reflected in its landscape. From Jatiluwih, we will go to Bedugul where we will visit the Ulun Danu BratanTemple, the famous temple that stands in a small foundation located on the beach of Lake Beratan and has the beautiful landscape with the lake and the mountain as a backdrop. It is without a doubt one of the most photogenic temples in all of Indonesia. This temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, goddess of waters. We will close the visit on this fantastic route and end the day watching the sunset at the most famous and photographed temple in Bali, the Pura Tanah Lot. Broken from the earth on a stone pedestal sculpted by the incoming tides, the lonely black towers of the Tanah Lot and the plumes of foliage spilled by the cliffs recall the delicacy of Chinese painting. The Pura Tanah Lot or the Temple of Land in the Middle of the Sea was built in the sixteenth century. Then we return to hotel.

After breakfast, we start the tour with the visit to Tenganan Village, located in the northwest of Candidasa, Tenganan is a symmetrical Bali Aga village with wall 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 will be Virgin Beach, a hard-to-find hidden beach and the only white sand beach in this area of eastern Bali. Locals call it White Sand Beach. There we can relax, eat fresh fish in the beach bars on the shore or sunbathe.

Finally, we will visit the temple of Lempuyang. Upon arrival, the temple will greet you with its gratifying panorama that extends into infinity. On a clear and sunny day, you will be able to contemplate the mountains, the city of Amlapura and Mount Agung, an incredibly beautiful sight. This temple is called the gates of heaven because it is located on a hill. With the gate and the volcano in the background, this photo has become famous for its beauty. Then we return to hotel.
