  The first steps in Bali

  

  For the second day, nothing beats a bit of rest in Sanur to recover from your trip and the jet lag. The children can enjoy the beach while discovering Balinese life, and the parents can start the stay before gently beginning this family program. These days can also be an opportunity to stroll along the promenade that runs along the beach, relax in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, or have your first tanning sessions. Be careful though! We are in the tropics and the sun is strong... Night in Sanur

  MUNDUK - Bali Bird Park, Pura Taman Ayun

  

  Offer the morning from Sanur to Munduk, which is, for nature lovers, a little paradise on earth.

A unique experience that will allow you to admire three species of birds of paradise, cranes, and other giant parrots.

A plant that holds a central place in cuisine, but also in Balinese religion. After lunch in a typical restaurant, you will then visit the Butterfly Park. It is a magnificent landscaped garden that serves as a natural habitat for hundreds of butterflies. There you can discover three rare species and understand the life cycle of butterflies. Before returning to your hotel at the end of the trip, we will go to Pura Ulun Danu Bratan.

Night in Amed

• day 9

  AMED - Tirta Ganga and Ujung Palace

  

  After this day of relaxation, we set out to discover the region with Tirta Gangga, which means "holy water of the Ganges" in Balinese. This architectural complex, built in 1948 by the Raja of Karangasem, curiously combines Balinese and Chinese styles. The water garden, which covers an area of 1.2 hectares, includes several zones. The first, located below, opens onto two pools and a water tower. The upper level offers pools where you can swim. The royal residences, on the upper level, overlook the whole complex. A few kilometers from Tirta Gangga, the route starts in the village of Ujung to visit the former Royal Palace of Karangasem. Built on the Dutch side in 1920, the water palace is located in a magnificent park conducive to contemplation, with pavilions offering views of both the jungle and the nearby sea. Night in Amed

• day 10

  UBUD - Tenganan Village, Goa Lawah

  

  This new day of discovery will begin with a visit to the traditional village of Tenganan, one of the oldest villages on the island, inhabited by the descendants of the first Balinese, the Bali Aga. Even though this site is somewhat touristic, it allows you to become aware of the organization of ancient villages and customs. Here, you will find answers to your questions about Balinese culture. Among the animals revered by Indonesians are monkeys, birds, and bats. We will visit Goa Lawah, the bat cave, which is one of the nine "Kayangan Jagat," the directional temples that protect Bali from evil spirits. Night in Ubud

• day 11

  UBUD - Ascent of Mount Batur

  

  Wake up around 1:30 am and departure for part of the hike (5 hours round trip) to the summit of Mount Batur, the sacred volcano of the Balinese, reaching 1717 m in altitude. Arrival at the summit for sunrise. Mount Batur became active in 1917, engulfing the village of Batur under a lava flow that stopped at the foot of its temple: Pura Ulun Danu Batur. It has now become a must-see place in Bali. Even though its discovery is not the most secret and many tourists go there, the sunrise at its summit is a moment that remains engraved in memories.

• day 12

  UBUD - Kite making and Balinese dance school

  

  This trip to Ubud will be dedicated to a Balinese immersion, under the guidance of Batuan, in order to visit a kite-making workshop, a central object of Balinese culture. You will learn the secrets of making and build your own kite. The kite, in Bali, is much more than just a simple children's pastime. We will then visit the Gianyar dance school. Every day, I Couter Ketut welcomes the village children to teach them the traditional Balinese arts: dance for the girls, gamelan for the boys. You will be able to observe the importance of detail in traditional dance, where everything is codified, from the position of each finger to the greetings. Night in Ubud

• day 13

  JIMBARAN - Uluwatu Temple, sacred Balinese dance.

  

  We leave Ubud in the morning to head towards the south of Bali, the perfect place to eat grilled fish on the beach. This is because it is not possible to visit the Pura Uluwatu, in the locality of Pecatu, which was founded in the 11th century by Mpu Kuturan, a Javanese priest who played an important role in Balinese religion. This famous temple in Bali is known for its location, its chants, and the panoramic view it offers of magnificent sunsets! You will attend a Kecak dance performance, a traditional dance derived from the Sanghyang, which reenacts part of the Ramayana, a famous epic that shapes the lives of the Balinese by telling the love story between Rama and Sita. Without musicians, the Kecak is driven by the hypnotic shouts of the men and the storyteller's narration. Overnight in Jimbaran

• day 14

  JIMBARAN - Free day

  

  A day of rest to enjoy the sun and Balinese massages, but start preparing your luggage. As soon as you want to set off again to discover the Jimbaran area, you can explore the most beautiful places to surf. Between Uluwatu, Padang Padang or Kuta, you are at the heart of the legend. Night in Jimbaran

• day 15

  JIMBARAN - Departure from Bali

  Here we are on the last day of your trip. Of course, we could have done more or done things differently: we didn't go to the Gili Islands, we didn't see the Komodo dragons, we didn't meet the last monkeys of Sumatra, nor did we encounter the Toraja people... But we are left with wonderful memories of an island where people have an eternal smile, and there are still so many trips left to take... Your driver will come to pick you up to take you to the airport, according to the departure time of your flight.
