  • Days 1-2

    Ubud

    Start your Bali adventure in Ubud's cultural center. Take a morning walk through local rice fields and traditional villages to get your bearings. A previous visitor advised: "The morning village walks were perfect for adjusting to Bali time - bring good walking shoes as paths can get muddy after rain." Make sure to see the Kecak fire dance performance in the evening. Get there 30 minutes early to find the best spots.

    
  • Day 3

    Ubud to Undisan

    Go on a downhill bike tour through Ubud's quiet backroads and villages (3-4 hours). You'll see hidden temples and beautiful rice terraces along the way. After lunch take a 1.5-hour trip to quiet Undisan village under Mt Agung. Bring light layers since it gets cool in the evenings.

    
  • Days 4-5

    Sibetan Village & Mt Batur

    Get to know village life in Sibetan, famous for its salak fruit farms. Join locals for a cooking class to learn regional dishes. Head to the Mt Batur area to rest up for tomorrow's trek. Sleep early tonight since you'll need to wake up at 3 AM.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Mt Batur & Lovina

    Start climbing Mt Batur before sunrise (2-3 hours up). A recent visitor shared: "The sunrise trek was challenging but absolutely worth it. Pack a headlamp and warm jacket - it's cold and dark at the start." Relax in hot springs afterward before going to Lovina. Spend the next day snorkeling at Menjangan Island's reefs and visiting local hot springs.

    
  • Days 8-9

    Sanur & Lombok Transfer

    Take a 3-hour trip to Sanur with a stop at Gitgit waterfall. Catch the fast boat to Lombok (2 hours, rougher during wet season) and continue to Tetebatu in the hills. It's a full day of travel but you'll see beautiful scenery throughout.

    
  • Days 10-12

    Traditional Lombok

    Experience Sasak culture through village walks, farming demonstrations and local crafts. Visit the women's pottery workshops in Masbagik. Travel to quiet Labuhan Pandan for excellent snorkeling and beach time. One traveler mentioned: "The east coast feels wonderfully untouched - we had pristine beaches almost to ourselves."

    
  • Days 13-15

    Senaru & Gili Air

    Check out Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls near Senaru (water shoes help on slippery paths). Take a boat to Gili Air for your final days of island relaxation. Go snorkeling right off the beach. Look for sea turtles in the morning when the water is calmest.

    Kuta & Uluwatu

    Start your trip in Kuta, Bali's vibrant beach town. Visit the beautiful 1000-year-old Uluwatu Temple on the cliffs. Plan to arrive before 4 PM to beat the crowds.

  • Days 3-4

    Canggu Beach Life

    Drive 45 minutes to relaxed Canggu. Book morning surf lessons - the sandy bottom and gentle waves work great for beginners.

  • Days 5-6

    Nusa Lembongan

  • Days 7-10

    Ubud Culture

    Stay in central Ubud for easy temple access. Visit the Monkey Forest right when it opens at 8 AM. Join a local cooking class - as one traveler said: "Learning to make satay lilit from scratch while sitting in a traditional Balinese home was the highlight of my trip." Get to Tegalalang Rice Terraces before 9 AM for the best photos in soft morning light.

    
  • Days 11-14

  • Days 15-16

    Mountain Retreat & Waterfalls

    Explore Munduk's cooler mountain area. Plan about 2 hours for the Sekumpul Waterfall trek. Wear good hiking shoes for the slippery paths. If you're camping bring warm clothes - it gets cold at night.

    
  • Days 17-18

    Seminyak Finale

    Wrap up in stylish Seminyak. The beach has bigger waves than Kuta but more space for walking at sunset. Stop by La Plancha beach bar for photos under their colorful umbrellas. Schedule your airport transfer outside rush hour (8-10 AM) to avoid traffic.

    Get started in relaxed Canggu. Book a surf lesson at Batu Bolong Beach between 7-8 AM when the waves are gentle. Visit temples early morning or late afternoon to beat the heat. You'll need a sarong and light sleeved top for temples. Skip the rental options and bring your own.

    Lovina

    Set your alarm for the 5:30 AM dolphin tours. The views are best from the left side of the boat. The drive from Canggu takes 3 hours on winding roads, so consider motion sickness pills. The boats are simple but give you a real local experience.
