What to expect
You'll spend the morning navigating the rice paddies on foot—expect uneven paths and a steady pace. The Monkey Forest is densely forested with plenty of steps; the macaques are habituated to visitors but remain wild. Mid-day brings a refreshing waterfall stop where you can swim in natural pools. An optional tea break overlooks the surrounding hills. Ubud's central market is busy and cramped, best tackled early. The temple visit is quiet and contemplative, with modest dress encouraged. Throughout, your guide will explain Balinese farming, wildlife behaviour, and spiritual traditions.
Good to know
Wear sturdy footwear for wet terrain and uneven ground. Bring swimwear and a towel for the waterfall. Don't feed monkeys or leave bags unattended in the forest. Breakfast and lunch aren't included; pack snacks or eat locally. The full 10 hours includes travel time between sites.
