Guided by a professional local expert, this journey takes you deep into the spiritual and scenic heart of the island, visiting temples, volcanic highlands, and natural hot springs.

The tour begins with a hotel pick-up and a visit to Puri Saraswati Temple, a tranquil temple located in the heart of Ubud. Surrounded by lotus ponds and adorned with intricate stone carvings, the temple is dedicated to Saraswati—the Balinese goddess of wisdom and the arts. It’s a peaceful and visually stunning place that reflects the elegance of traditional Balinese architecture.

Next, travel north to the serene river valley of Gunung Kawi Temple, one of Bali’s oldest and most remarkable archaeological sites. Here, you’ll find a collection of ancient royal shrines carved directly into the cliff face, surrounded by lush rice fields and forest. The short descent through the terraced landscape adds to the charm of this spiritual site.

Your journey continues to the cool highlands of Kintamani, where you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Mount Batur and its picturesque crater lake. Here, you have the option to stop for lunch at a scenic local restaurant overlooking the volcano (selected option). The fresh mountain air and panoramic surroundings make for a memorable dining experience.

The final stop of the day is Toya Devasya Natural Hot Spring, a soothing retreat nestled on the shores of Lake Batur. Here, you can relax in open-air pools filled with warm, mineral-rich water sourced from the natural geothermal springs of the volcano. With stunning lake and mountain views, it’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge before heading back.
