From Ubud’s rice terraces to the lake temple of Ulun Danu Bratan and the calm bays of Bali’s north-east coast.
This journey moves gently across Bali, starting in Ubud among craft villages and the Tegallalang rice terraces, then climbing to the cool Bedugul highlands and the lakeside temple of Ulun Danu Bratan.
It ends on the quieter north-east coast near Amed, where black-sand beaches, coral gardens and views of Mount Agung invite slow days by the water.

Practical information
Walking is light and on easy paths. Bring clothing that covers shoulders and knees for temple visits; a sarong and sash are required and are often provided. Indonesia charges a tourist levy on arrival in Bali and entry rules vary, so please check current requirements for your nationality.
From November to March showers are frequent but often short. The journey still works, though some walks and snorkelling depend on the weather on the day.
