Highlights
- 2 nights in Ubud, 3 on the south coast
- Tegallalang rice terraces and the Tirta Empul water temple
- Mount Batur sunrise trek or the Kintamani viewpoint
- Sunset at Tanah Lot, Kecak dance at Uluwatu
- Private car with an English-speaking driver
This is the plan most first-timers pick. Two nights in Ubud put you close to the temples and rice terraces without a long drive every morning, and three nights on the south coast give you beach time and Bali’s two famous sunset temples. The 4-night version drops the Kintamani day; the 6-night version adds a day trip to Nusa Penida.
Day-wise itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Bali, transfer to Ubud
Private pickup at Denpasar airport. The drive to Ubud takes 60–90 minutes in normal traffic. Check in and rest. The direct flights from India arrive after an overnight journey, so the evening is kept free.
Day 2: Ubud: Tegallalang rice terraces, Tirta Empul, Monkey Forest
An early start at the Tegallalang rice terraces, before the crowds arrive. Then Tirta Empul, the spring-water temple where visitors can join the purification ritual. The afternoon is at the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud town. Private car and driver all day.
Day 3: Kintamani volcano view or Mount Batur sunrise trek
Choose your pace. You can drive up to Kintamani for views across Mount Batur and its lake. Or, if you’re fit, take the sunrise trek: pickup around 2 am, a guided climb of 1.5–2 hours, and sunrise from the 1,717 m summit. A licensed guide is required in practice.
Day 4: Ulun Danu Beratan and Tanah Lot, transfer to the coast
Check out and head to the lake temple of Ulun Danu Beratan in the cool highlands. Then drive down to Tanah Lot for sunset at the sea temple, before checking in to your beach hotel.
Day 5: Uluwatu Temple and Kecak dance
A free morning on the beach or at a water-sports centre (optional). Late afternoon at Uluwatu Temple on the cliffs, then the Kecak fire dance at sunset.
Day 6: Departure
Check out and private drop to the airport. We time it around traffic. From the south coast, allow 1–1.5 hours, and more between 3 pm and 7 pm.
