Planning Your Sightseeing

Bali is larger than it looks: the drive from the southern beaches to the temples and waterfalls of the north takes three hours or more. Group nearby sights into one day rather than crossing the island repeatedly. A popular pattern is to base yourself in the south for beaches, in Ubud for culture and rice terraces, and to add a day trip or overnight stay in the north or east.

Suggested Day Trips

Ubud and central Bali: Tegalalang Rice Terraces, Tirta Empul, the Monkey Forest and Goa Gajah fit into one day.
Sunrise on Mount Batur: the trek starts around 3–4am and takes about two hours to reach the 1,717 m summit; most tours combine it with hot springs and a coffee plantation.
The west coast: Tanah Lot at sunset, combined with Canggu's beaches or the Jatiluwih rice terraces.
The east: Besakih, the Mother Temple on the slopes of Mount Agung, plus the water palaces of Tirta Gangga.
The Bukit: Uluwatu Temple and the Kecak dance at sunset, with time at Padang Padang or Bingin beach.

Temple Etiquette

Wear a sarong and sash when entering temples; most popular temples lend or rent them at the entrance. Shoulders should be covered, and visitors should never climb on shrines or stand higher than the priests during ceremonies. If a ceremony is taking place, watch from a respectful distance.
