Journey from Bali’s lush agricultural heartland into the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Kintamani before returning through the rice terraces and tropical forests of Ubud.
Begin with a visit to a local coffee and tea plantation, where you can discover some of the crops grown in Bali’s fertile volcanic soil and sample a selection of locally produced coffees and teas. Continue into the highlands of Kintamani, where the landscape opens dramatically across the ancient volcanic caldera. Take in panoramic views towards Mount Batur and Lake Batur, one of Bali’s most impressive natural landscapes.
From the mountains, travel back towards Ubud and the famous Tegalalang Rice Terraces. Carved into the hillsides in layers of brilliant green, these terraces showcase the agricultural traditions that have shaped Bali’s countryside for generations.
Stop for a set-menu lunch at Alas Harum, surrounded by tropical scenery and sweeping rice-field views. You’ll also have time to explore the property’s viewpoints and photo locations, with activities such as swings and the sky bike available for those wanting to add a little more adventure.
Finish the day beneath the towering trees of the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud, home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques as well as ancient temples and pathways woven through the tropical forest.
Combining volcanoes, rice terraces, local flavours and wildlife, this private journey captures several completely different sides of Bali in one beautifully varied day.
