Climb into the cool highlands for lunch facing Mount Batur, an active volcano sitting inside a giant caldera beside Lake Batur. On the way down you visit Tirta Empul, a 10th-century water temple where Balinese families queue at the carved spouts to purify themselves; you can join the ritual bath with a sarong we provide. The day finishes among the emerald steps of the Tegallalang rice terraces, shaped by the 1,000-year-old subak irrigation system recognised by UNESCO, with a coffee and tea tasting in a family plantation.
Times are a guide. Your driver adjusts to traffic, weather and temple ceremonies.
