The experience
Overview
Escape the crowds and discover one of Bali's most spectacular cultural landscapes on this private Jatiluwih Rice Terrace Trekking Tour. Located on the slopes of Mount Batukaru, Jatiluwih is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for its endless green rice terraces, fresh mountain air, and the traditional Subak irrigation system that has been preserved for centuries.
Unlike challenging mountain hikes, this experience features an easy and relaxing walk through well-maintained pathways across the rice terraces. The route is suitable for children, adults, families, couples, and most fitness levels, allowing you to fully enjoy Bali's breathtaking countryside without requiring a trekking guide.
After exploring Jatiluwih, continue to the peaceful Pura Luhur Batukaru, one of Bali's most sacred temples nestled within a lush tropical forest. Surrounded by towering trees and cool mountain air, the temple offers a tranquil atmosphere that perfectly complements the natural beauty of Jatiluwih.
Travel comfortably with your own private air-conditioned vehicle, an experienced English-speaking driver, hotel pickup and drop-off, and entrance tickets included, ensuring a relaxing and hassle-free day exploring Bali's cultural and natural heritage.
Beyond its sacred courtyards, Pura Luhur Batukaru is also home to a peaceful natural spring pond on the eastern side of the temple. Fed by fresh spring water from the Mount Batukaru area, the clear pond is inhabited by colorful fish and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, offering a serene atmosphere rarely found at other temples in Bali.

Just as two years ago, getting in contact with the company is easy, be it by email or Whatsapp. The response time is always very fast and things are very easy. Our driver Wayan is fantastic: he has an interesting conversation, he tries his best for you to feel cared for, he always has stories to tell, he is very friendly and thoughtful, and on top of that , he is a very safe and good driver. So, what else could i say? ubud adventures will contribute to make your days in Bali even more enjoyable ! Since the trips are designed on a personal basis, you can get the most out of them. That’s what we have done all the times: instead of just traveling from one point to another, they organize the trip so that you can do stops and visits along the way. And Wayan always complements that with interesting information. So, I recommend this company 100%.

Wira was amazing and ensured there was no rush throughout the entire day! The views were spectacular and Wira took photos for us all day! The tour was private just for my husband and myself and it has been one of the best things we have done in all our trips to Bali! I cannot recommend Wira and ubud adventures enough.

The highlights for us were visiting the monkey Forest first thing, seeing the rice fields and then stopping at a coffee plantation for an amazing paddle of different teas and coffees. Then a great buffet lunch overlooking the volcano. Kadek was very informative about the culture too.
