Spectacular views of Mount Batur and the Kintamani highlands frame a day of adventure that shows you the rich culture and incredible sights of Bali. Learn about the island and its people with stories from your knowledgeable guide as you find temples, handicrafts, and grand volcanic vistas.

The outing begins with a ride from your hotel to explore the sights of a vibrant art village, where you can meet with the people who keep the techniques of the region’s handicrafts alive. Once you’ve seen the lively world of Balinese traditions, head out into the country for some magnificent views across the rice terraces of Tegalallang.

Next, your guide takes you into the highlands of Kintamani for a panoramic view of the forested ridges around the volcanic caldera of Mount Batur. Relax in the cold mountain breeze, and then pay a visit to the town of Tampaksiring to see the Hindu temple of Tirta Empul, famed for its holy spring waters. On your return trip, stop at the Ubud Monkey Forest and check out the local market before arriving back at your hotel. (source: travel. hotels.com)
