Tour Itinerary

1. Subak Bali Agrotourism – A Taste of Bali’s Coffee & Culture

Your adventure begins with a visit to Subak Bali Agrotourism, a charming plantation where you can see and taste the island’s natural bounty. This stop introduces you to Bali’s agricultural roots, particularly the subak irrigation system—a traditional cooperative farming practice recognized by UNESCO.

At the plantation, you’ll stroll through lush gardens filled with coffee, cocoa, herbs, and spices. The highlight for many guests is the chance to sample a range of local drinks, including ginger tea, lemongrass tea, coconut coffee, and of course, the famous kopi luwak or civet coffee, known as one of the most expensive coffees in the world.

More than just a tasting experience, Subak Bali Agrotourism is also educational. You’ll gain insights into how local farmers work in harmony with nature, using sustainable methods that have been passed down for centuries. It’s the perfect introduction to Bali’s rich farming traditions before moving on to the island’s sacred landmarks.

2. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple – Bali’s Floating Jewel

The next highlight of the tour is Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, one of the most iconic temples in all of Bali. Situated on the shores of Lake Beratan in the cool highlands of Bedugul, this temple is often referred to as Bali’s “floating temple” because it appears to drift gracefully on the lake’s surface when the water level rises.

Built in the 17th century, the temple is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of lakes, rivers, and water. Its importance lies not only in its architectural beauty but also in its role in ensuring the prosperity of Bali’s agriculture, as water is considered sacred and essential to life.

As you explore the temple grounds, you’ll encounter traditional multi-tiered shrines, intricately carved gates, and serene gardens. The combination of the temple’s spiritual atmosphere with the backdrop of misty mountains and calm lake waters makes it a favorite destination for photographers and culture lovers alike.

Visitors often describe Ulun Danu Beratan as a place that captures both the heart and soul of Bali—peaceful, mystical, and breathtakingly beautiful.

3. Lunch at Pacung Restaurant – Dining with a View

After soaking up the magic of Ulun Danu Beratan, it’s time to relax and enjoy a well-deserved lunch at Pacung Restaurant. Nestled in the highlands, this restaurant offers not only delicious food but also sweeping views of terraced rice fields and rolling green hills.

The menu at Pacung Restaurant caters to all tastes, featuring a mix of traditional Balinese specialties, Indonesian favorites, and international cuisine. Guests can try signature dishes such as crispy duck (bebek goreng), grilled fish, or refreshing vegetable dishes made from local ingredients.

What makes dining here truly special is the setting. The cool mountain breeze, panoramic views, and tranquil surroundings create an atmosphere that elevates the dining experience beyond just a meal—it becomes a memory. It’s the perfect pause to recharge before heading to the highlight of the tour.

4. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces – UNESCO’s Green Paradise

No trip to Bali’s highlands is complete without visiting the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases the island’s most spectacular landscapes. Stretching across more than 600 hectares of verdant hillsides, Jatiluwih embodies the harmony between people, culture, and nature.

Here, you’ll witness the beauty of the ancient subak irrigation system in action. This cooperative water management practice is not only a feat of engineering but also a reflection of Balinese philosophy, which emphasizes balance and community.

Visitors can take leisurely walks along the well-maintained trails, soaking in views of cascading terraces that seem endless. Each turn offers a new perspective: glistening paddies reflecting the sky, farmers tending their fields, and the dramatic silhouette of Mount Batukaru in the distance.

For photographers, Jatiluwih is paradise—whether you’re capturing wide-angle shots of the fields or close-ups of traditional farming life. For others, it’s simply a chance to slow down, breathe in fresh mountain air, and appreciate the serene rhythm of Bali’s countryside.
