Early Morning at Lempuyang Temple: Touching the Sky
The tour kicks off at 7 am with a pickup and a journey to Lempuyang Temple, famous for its “Gate of Heaven”. Arriving early means fewer crowds and better lighting for your photos. The famous gate creates a perfect frame with Mount Agung in the background. Expect to spend around two hours here — plenty of time to take that iconic shot and appreciate the temple’s spiritual ambiance.
One review highlights how arriving early is key: “Be prepared to wait 3+ hours at Lempuyang for a pic because so busy,” but arriving before sunrise helps dodge the worst crowds. The temple provides a serene contrast to the bustling tourist spots.
Tirta Gangga Water Garden: Feeding Koi and Stunning Water Features
Next, around 10 am, the tour visits Tirta Gangga Water Garden, where you can feed colorful koi fish and walk across charming stepping stones. The water garden offers excellent photo opportunities, especially with its ornate water features and lush surroundings. The admission fee is included, and many travelers enjoy the relaxed pace here.
One guest appreciated this stop: “Feed many kinds of koi fishes and walk on the steps then get spectacular photos.” It’s a peaceful spot that offers both scenic imagery and a tactile experience.
Buffet Lunch Overlooking Mount Agung
At around 1 pm, you’ll stop for a buffet lunch at a restaurant with views of Mount Agung. The restaurant’s setting provides a break amid the busy day, and the food is simple but hearty — a good way to refuel for the afternoon. Many reviews point out the value of this included meal, especially given the scenic backdrop.
Tukad Cepung Waterfall: Discover a Hidden Gem
After lunch, at approximately 3 pm, prepare for a short walk in Bangli Regency to Tukad Cepung Waterfall. This waterfall is a lesser-known spot with a unique setting — sunlight filters through a cave-like opening, making for incredible photos. Expect about an hour here, including walking and exploring in the cave.
Travelers often rave about this hidden waterfall, with one saying, “Tukad Cepung waterfall is the most amazing hidden waterfall in Bangli Regency, shining straight through the gap in the trees.” It’s a memorable contrast to the more crowded temples.
Tegalalang Rice Terrace: Iconic Bali Landscape
By late afternoon, around 5 pm, the tour visits the Tegalalang Rice Terrace. This UNESCO-famous site offers sweeping views of the rice paddies and a chance to learn about traditional irrigation. The soft evening light enhances photo opportunities, and many travelers enjoy walking through the terraces to capture the vast, green landscape.
Optional: Ubud Swing Experience
The tour offers an optional stop at the Aloha Ubud Swing — a chance to fly like a bird and snap some jaw-dropping photos. This is not included in the base price, but many guests find it well worth the extra fee. It’s a fun way to end your day’s photo spree with a fun, adrenaline-pumping experience.
