Visits to Balinese temples, including Gungung Kawi Sebatu (a water temple) and Pura Besakih (the mother temple of Bali)
A Balinese-style massage at a sea-side resort

Optional Trip Extension • June 7-11
Want to stay a little longer? We are offering an additional 4-night/5-day homestay at the villa of our longtime Balinese friends, Desak & Nano—located in a rice-farming village about 15 minutes from Ubud. You’ll have your own room, and a shared pool. With just a few planned activities, you’ll also have plenty of time to see what adventures beckon you. You can easily walk to a sweet (pun intended) chocolatier or enjoy meals at the local warung. If a day at the spa would be your cup of tea, there are also really wonderful options right nearby (including Karsa Spa). All in all, this extension includes:
4 nights lodging at a beautiful homestay (single occupancy in shared villa)
All breakfasts, 2 lunches and 2 dinners
A day trip to Pura Ulun Danu, one of Bali’s most iconic lake temples
Plenty of assistance in helping you make arrangements for adventures of your choosing
