What to expect
You'll spend the morning winding through Ubud's countryside in a private VW, arriving first at Tegenungan waterfall where you can cool off in the cascade. After lunch at a family-run warung, the afternoon takes you through Tegalalang's terraced paddies—best visited midday when light hits the water. The monkey forest requires decent footwork on uneven paths; the animals are habituated to visitors but can be mischievous. You'll then visit the modest royal palace (exterior viewing mainly) and finish at the art market, a sensory overload of woodcarvings, textiles, and souvenirs. Expect stops to last 45 minutes to an hour each.
Good to know
Wear sturdy footwear for forest and terraced paths. Bring swimwear and a towel for the waterfall. The market is best in early afternoon before crowds peak. One child under two travels free on an adult's lap. Driver provides bottled water; request stops if you need facilities.
