Detailed itinerary
1
A private transfer from your southern Bali or Ubud hotel will bring you to the starting point where you will meet your fellow walkers. Bayad is a small village near Ubud and is considered to be the best point to start. The actual walking time will be approximately two hours as we include various stops to admire the beauty and allow your guide to tell more about the numerous plants and trees. Few of these plants are said to have healing powers. After enjoying a hot coffee, tea and refreshments, the light hike will bring us to a local spice and herb garden. Produces harvested on these lands have medicinal purposes and have been natural solutions for ailments and first-aid emergencies.

We continue following a carefully-chosen path down towards a cave which leads to an underground labyrinth of paths and tracks that will lead to our final destination; a local lunch address that serves excellent traditional Indonesian food. This much-needed meal after a nice walk to discover Bali’s abundance in natural marvels will end this half-day. From the restaurant, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
