Begin your day with a convenient hotel pickup and head to the Sangeh Monkey Forest. Walk through a sacred, towering nutmeg forest inhabited by hundreds of friendly grey long-tailed macaques. Unlike other crowded monkey forests, Sangeh offers a quieter, more spiritual atmosphere centred around the ancient Pura Bukit Sari temple.
Next, visit a traditional coffee plantation and discover how local Balinese herbs, spices, and coffee are grown and processed. Enjoy a free sampler tray of various local teas and coffees, and opt to try the famous Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) while enjoying views of the green valleys.
Continue to Leke Leke Waterfall and take a short, scenic hike down a well-maintained bamboo path into a secluded rocky cove. Admire the spectacular, narrow stream of water framed by a massive wall of tropical greenery, making it one of Bali's most photogenic hidden gems.
Then, visit Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, one of Bali’s most iconic postcard locations. This majestic Hindu temple sits right on the shores of Lake Beratan, creating a stunning illusion that it is floating on the water. The cool mountain air adds to the serene ambiance.
Finally, head to Wanagiri Hidden Hill, perched high up on the ridge overlooking Twin Lakes (Buyan and Tamblingan). Snap unforgettable pictures on giant bird nests, wooden swings, and boat-shaped lookouts suspended over the breathtaking volcanic lakes.
