More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a private car into humid green air and the restless chatter of macaques—Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest announces the day with temple stone and swinging tails. The tour threads from this living temple through tiered rice terraces carved into volcanic slopes, down a jungle track to a hidden waterfall, and finishes on the reflective calm of a highland lake temple where locals perform offerings at water’s edge.
