Ubud Village Walk and Lunch with a Balinese Family

Ubud Village Walk and Lunch with a Balinese Family

This day takes you into everyday life in the villages around Ubud. You walk through rice fields, along a river or a forest path, for up to an hour and a half, and meet the people who live there: craftspeople, farmers, temple guardians.

Then a Balinese family welcomes you into their home for lunch, cooked with fresh seasonal ingredients. It is the gentlest of our cultural days and works well for families.

  2. A walk of up to 1.5 hours through rice fields and village paths, with stops to meet local craftspeople and farmers.
