Ubud Highlights Tour

Steeped in culture and intensified by magnificent views, Ubud offers a respite from the humdrum of your busy life. In the past, Ubud was just a small village, but now it has grown into a thriving yet laid-back cultured city.

Also known as the Land of the Gods, Bali is a luscious green paradise, a food lover’s dream, a romantic escape and the ultimate destination for a getaway. The sheer natural beauty of looming volcanoes, lush greenery, and spectacular flowing waterfalls make Bali is a travel must on any adventurer’s bucket list.

Here are some exciting highlights of the Ubud tour!

Tukad Cepung Waterfall

The stunning Tukad Cepung cave waterfall is one of the best waterfalls in Bali, Indonesia.

Tukad Cepung Waterfall is one of the most unique and photogenic waterfalls in Bali. It’s famous for rays of sunlight that shine straight through the top of the falls, creating natural beams across the canyon-like rock formations.

In Bahasa (the Balinese language), Tukad means river and Cepung means flow. Tukad Cepung, therefore, means river flow. Unlike most waterfalls in Bali, this one does not flow into a river or stream. And rather, it gently flows down the cliffs and ends in a cave, making it such a unique set of falls.

Tibumana Waterfall

Tibumana Waterfall, referred to by locals as Air Terjun Tibumana, is one of Bali’s most beautiful hidden waterfalls, located in the Bangli region.

Bangli is host to mountain lakes and streams that make Bali so fertile. Numerous villages are scatted across a landscape of rice terraces, lush valleys and forests.

Tibumana Waterfall is a true hidden gem and definitely highly recommended for those who want to enjoy beautiful scenery, cool breeze atmosphere, peace and tranquillity.

Tibumana is derived from the word ‘tibu’, which means a deep riverbed or plunge pool, which can be spotted from the extensively deep plunge pool of the waterfall.

The cliffs surrounding the waterfall are overgrown with greenery and moss, which enhances the splendour of Tibumana Waterfall.

Balinese Coffee Plantation

Did you know Bali is famous for the most expensive coffee in the world, that’s made from coffee beans found in the excrement of a small animal that looks like a cross between a ferret and a raccoon?

The famous and expensive coffee that is fastest growing on this island is called Luwak Coffee, the coffee produced from the fermentation process that takes civet coffee beans and then removes them through the digestive tract. Coffee Luwak has a unique history behind the legend. In the early 18th century, the Dutch established coffee plantations on the volcanic islands of the Dutch East Indies. This Coffee Luwak Arabica coffee hails from the mystical island of Bali.

The process of the bean passing through the digestive tract of the civet chemically alters the proteins in the Kopi Luwak coffee bean to yield more complex and smooth flavours, not found in conventional coffees. The resulting coffee is said to be like no other in the world. It has a rich, heavy flavour with hints of caramel and or chocolate. Other terms used to describe it are earthy, musty and exotic.

Tegalalang Rice Field

Without a doubt, the Tegalalang Rice Terrace are one of the most beautiful places to visit in Bali.

It has become a destination for travellers making their way between Bali’s sandy beaches, towering mountains, and steaming volcanoes.

A truly awe-inspiring sight, the beautiful green rice paddies stretch on for what seems like an eternity.

The stunning Tegalalang Rice Terrace, part of the Cultural Landscape of Bali Province UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprises cascading emerald-green fields worked by local rice farmers.

The scenes of rice paddies involving the subak (traditional Balinese cooperative irrigation system), which according to history, was passed down by a revered holy man named Rsi Markandeya in the eighth century.

Monkey Forest Ubud
