Overview
This full-day Central Bali tour explores the cultural, spiritual, and natural highlights of the island’s highland region, starting from Puri Saraswati Temple in Ubud, continuing to the ancient Gunung Kawi Temple, enjoying panoramic views at Kintamani, and ending with relaxation at Toya Devasya Natural Hot Spring. The itinerary is thoughtfully arranged to combine Balinese temple heritage, archaeological history, volcanic scenery, and natural wellness experiences in one seamless journey.
The tour begins at Puri Saraswati Temple, also known as the Ubud Lotus Temple, located in the cultural center of Ubud. This elegant temple is dedicated to Dewi Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and the arts in Balinese Hindu belief. The temple is famous for its beautiful lotus pond and classic Balinese stone carvings that frame the entrance walkway. As you explore the temple grounds, you will experience the peaceful atmosphere and refined architecture that make this site one of the most photogenic cultural landmarks in Ubud.
Next, the journey continues to Gunung Kawi Temple, one of Bali’s most remarkable archaeological sites. Situated in a lush river valley, this temple complex features a series of ancient shrines carved directly into the rock cliff. These monumental carvings date back to the 11th century and are believed to honor members of the Balinese royal family. To reach the temple, visitors descend through a scenic path surrounded by rice terraces and tropical greenery. Consequently, Gunung Kawi offers both historical significance and a memorable landscape experience.
After exploring Gunung Kawi, the Central Bali tour proceeds to Kintamani, a highland region known for its spectacular views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur. From the panoramic viewpoint, visitors can admire the dramatic volcanic landscape and fresh mountain atmosphere. At this location, guests may choose to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the volcano. The scenic setting makes this stop one of the most iconic viewpoints in Bali.
In the afternoon, the journey continues to Toya Devasya Natural Hot Spring, located on the shores of Lake Batur. This popular geothermal spa offers open-air pools filled with warm mineral-rich water sourced from volcanic underground springs. While soaking in the natural hot spring pools, visitors can enjoy uninterrupted views of Lake Batur and the surrounding mountains. Therefore, Toya Devasya provides the perfect setting to relax and refresh after a day of exploring Central Bali.
