Day
1 : Arrival
Arriving in Bali, you will be met and taken to the hotel of your choice. The rest of the
day is yours to do as much or as little as you like. Perhaps some shopping. Or perhaps a
walk along one of Bali's famous beaches, or maybe an afternoon relaxing by the pool.Day 2 : The Bali Island
After breakfast, you will be introduced to the many varied faces of Bali. Beginning at
Batubulan for the traditional Barong dance performance, then you will visit the village of
Celuk, famous for its fine gold and silverworks, the woodcarving village of Mas, an
artists' colony at Ubud, a sacred spring at Tampaksiring and finally Kintamani village,
perched on the rim of the Batur volcanic basin. After lunch, visit the Kehen Temple and
return to your hotel for a well earned rest. (L)
Day 3 : Leisure or Optional Tours
The choice is yours, whether fully relaxing with the artistic atmosphere of Bali, or to
join the following optional tours available.
- Tanah Lot Sunset Tour
Start the tour with a visit to Bali's most beautiful temple, the Pura Taman Ayun at
Mengwi, then dwell through the monkey forest with its hundreds of monkeys before arriving
on time at the remarkable Tanah Lot Temple for the most romantic sunset with the temple
dissolving into a striking silhouete against the simmering evening sky.
- Besakih Temple Tour
The main feature of this tour is the magnificent "Mother Temple of Bali" on the
slopes of Mount Agung. Before getting there, visit the ancient Hall of Justice with its
painted ceilings ar Klungkung, the sacred bat caves, and Bukit Jambul to admire the
fantastic view of terraced rice fields. (L)
- Kecak Dance Performance
Depicting an epic from the Ramayana Sage, this fascinating and amazing dance is performed
after sunset by over hundred men, sitting circle within circle around a large burning
torch. The swaying and bending of their bodies and the raising and swaying of their hands
while hissing and bellowing a variety of inarticulated sounds, makes it a very unnerving
and dramatic play.
Day 4 : Transfer Out
After breakfast, take the last minute shopping time before being transferred to the
airport for your next destination. |
