Your guide will pick you up early in the morning and you start your trip driving through the beautiful landscape of centre Bali to Tampaksiring where you visit the temple Pura Tirta Empul. This is one of the temples which have pools of very clean spring water. People from all over Bali come here to take a bath in this holy water (Panjoran). Visit the Elephant Cave Goa Gajah that includes a temple which was used a long time ago by Brahman priests for meditation. Upon return to Ubud visit Ubud Royal Palace with its well-preserved Balinese architecture and its charming gardens. Your tour ends with a visit of a traditional market, where your guide will show you exotic spices, fruits and much more. Return to hotel and overnight in Ubud

After breakfast enjoy the rest of the day at leisure at your hotel or choose from a wide range of optional tours. Central East-Bali is close by, and is a treasure trove of historic sites and natural wonders. Even closer to Ubud are options such as APV-rides, guided bicycle tours or famous Taro Elephant Safari Park. Overnight in Ubud. 

After two full sightseeing days, we suggest you to keep the morning free for short term flexible decisions, such as a shopping spree for artwork at the many artisan shops and galleries dotted all over Ubud, or maybe an optional mountain bike tour (guided or unguided). Just 15 minutes outside the city centre, Ubud shows its well-preserved rural charm. After checkout we take you to nearby Sudi Dance School, where you can watch the delightful scene of groups of young girls from the age of 5 and up learning and practicing classical Balinese dances; this offers particularly nice photo opportunities. You will continue towards the East Coast of Bali, with a stop on the way at Tihingan village, where you can see the production of gongs and gamelan instruments.

After breakfast continue along the east coast until you reach the village of Selat, and marvel over the unbelievable beauty of its paddy fields. Visit Bali’s biggest temple, Besakih that has 40 turrets and a beautiful view of the impressive Gunung Agung volcano.
