Tampaksiring Highlights Day Tour
North of Ubud is where many of Bali’s new hotspots are located and Tampaksiring is one of these areas.
Only 13 kms or approximately 20 minute drive Tampaksiring has been kept in the shadow of Ubud but is now becoming a destination on its own. Some describe Tampaksiring as Ubud 20 years ago.
During this tour you will visit expansive rice fields, local craftmen and beautiful temple whilst soaking up the natural beauty and Balinese rich culture. Tampaksiring is a fascinating area to explore.
After a drive from your hotel, first stop is to stretch your legs for a walk at Mancingan Rice Fields. Here the easy walking path allows you to see a working subak rice field system whilst soaking up the beauty and serenity.
After the rice field walk stop at a Agro Farm with jungle view for complimentary tea and coffee tasting served with Balinese cakes.
Then onto the lesser known Pura Megening. Temple. It seems this 11th century temple has been lost in time as moss and vines have engulfed this temple areas and the pure water baths and springs. A cool breeze and serenity will greet you as you go down the steps into the temple’s courtyard.. From the courtyard, you can gaze upon the greenery that surrounds the premises, taking in the natural beauty serenaded by the harmonious sounds of water running into different pools below. The site is not so large but still has many interesting sights and ruins to see.
Lunch break is at Sari Timbul which showcases some amazing wood carving sculptures, After lunch continue to their second location that seems like a fantasy world with even more impressive wood carved statues plus a local glass blowing factory. Opportunities here to get some really special and unique videos and photos.
Last stop is at a secluded waterfall which is an easy walk and not too many stairs. Get refreshed and take a dip at the base of the fresh flowing water.
