Conversion Unit- 1 Indian Rupee = 197 Indonesian Rupees

Places to be covered-

Kuta is in the Center of Bali and all other places are approximately 1.5 to 2 hrs. From
Kuta. Since your hotels are already booked so I will go by the plan. 
DAY 1- SLEEPOVER AT KUTA

Since on this Day, you are reaching Kuta you can either relax in your Hotel or visit the "SKY
GARDEN-61 Legian.
It’s a party zone/night club in Legian, Kuta Bali.
Located near Bali bomb monument, center of Legian.
This club is open from 5PM to 3AM.
Entrance fee is free for Foreigners (I Believe) so you can just have a look.
You can also see the fire dance Performance. (It should be on the 3rd Floor).

DAY 2- KUTA TO UBUD

The distance from KUTA to UBUD is- Around 1 hr. 10 mins.

Now there are 2 preferred routes, but I would suggest Route 2 so that you can see Denpasar on
the way to Ubud. Since you are going to Pecatu from Ubud after 2 days, then you can take
Route 1.
While in Denpasar, you can stop by to see the “Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples” and the
“Pura Maospahit”. There are 2 Vegan Restaurants nearby which are rated well, The “Ayan
Bakar Taiway Baru” and “Babi Guling Chandra”. If it’s nearing Lunch Time you can try there.

Details about the places:-

Palace of Satria and the Royal Temples:-

A palace and temple of the royal family of Denpasar which is beautifully kept and admirably,
open to all residents of Denpasar for worship. Some wonderfully ornate carvings here, even by
Balinese standards.

Pura Maospahit :-

An ancient temple with a long and glorious history thought to originate in the 14th century. This
is a temple typical of the peak of the Majapahit period being constructed largely from red brick.
Sadly, much of it was destroyed in the early 20th century earthquake but there are some
original remnants including the guardian statues in the inner courtyard. This is a charming
temple and one which is seldom patronised by tourists. Every chance you will have it to
yourself.

Let’s Say you reach Ubud early evening around 3pm. Get fresh up and start exploring :)

Some General Knowledge about Ubud:-

Ubud, a town in central Bali, is far removed from the beach party scene in Kuta, and is regarded
as the cultural centre of Bali. It is famous as an arts and crafts hub, and much of the town and
nearby villages seems to consist of artists' workshops and galleries. There are some remarkable
architectural and other sights to be found, and a general feeling of wellbeing to be enjoyed, all
thanks to the spirit, surroundings, and climate of the place.

Ubud has a known history back to the eighth century, when the Javanese Hindu priest Rsi
Marhandya came to Bali from Java, and meditated at the confluence of the two Wos rivers at
Campuan, just west of the modern day town centre. A shrine was established and later
expanded by Nirartha, the Javanese priest who is regarded as the founder of Bali's religious
practices and rituals as we know them today. At this time the area was a centre of natural
medicine and healing, and that is how the name Ubud originated: Ubad is ancient Balinese for
medicine.

You can cover 2-3 places today I believe, so I narrowed my search to 3.

Pura Puseh Batuan Temple, Jalan batuan villages (South Ubud (5km)). The most notable
landmark is the village temple, known as Pura Puseh, an ancient structure dated to the 11th
century, embellished with intricate stone carvings. It's in the northern part of the village, 200m
(620 ft) off the main road. The temple also has an inscription that testifies to the date of
founding of Batuan in 1022 AD. The temple underwent restoration in 1992. It's a five-tiered
gateway tower, clearly influenced by Indian religious architecture. Its icons and decorations,
however, are typically Balinese in style. Notable depictions include a Bhoma head overlooking
the main gateway. Admission tickets : IDR10,000.

Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave), Jalan Goa Gajah. Daily 08:00-18:00. The centrepiece here is a cave
dating back to the ninth century, the entrance to which is an ornately carved demon's mouth.
Inside are some fragmentary lingam and yoni statues, as well as a statue of Ganesha. Large,
carved guards stand around pools near the entrance, and a little path leads to a waterfall, rice
fields, and some Buddhist stupa fragments. Some parts of the Goa Gajah complex were not
excavated until the 1950s. This sight is quite disappointing compared to other sights around
Ubud. IDR15,000, including sarong rental, so don't buy a sarong because it's included.

Puri Saren Agung (Royal Palace, Water Palace), (across Jl Raya Ubud from Ubud Market),.Daily
09:00-17:00. This was the palace of the kings of Ubud until the 1940s, and some royal
descendants live there to this day. Parts of the complex are off limits to the public, but entry to
the rest is free, and this is Ubud's best setting for dance performances. Note: - You can visit this
place at the last so that you can go for the Dance Performance here itself. (As below)

In the Evening you can go for a Bali Dance Performance show-

Known as the cultural capital of Bali, Ubud is famous for its fine traditional Balinese dancing.
Dances and performances such as wayang kulit (shadow puppet) are held nightly here from
19:00 onwards, with special events staged for every full and new moon presented by local
villagers who have learnt this rich cultural heritage from a young age, passed down from
generations before them.The venues are spread around Ubud including Ubud Palace, Puri
Dalem Ubud, Ubud Water Palace, Puri Agung Peliatan, Pura Desa Kutuh, Pura Padang Kerta,
Bale Banjar Klod, Padang Tegal and the ARMA (Agung Rai Museum of Arts) open stage. Tickets
can be purchased at the Ubud Tourist Information Bureau or directly from each venue 15
minutes before the dances and performances begin.

Tel: +62 (0)361 973285 (Ubud tourist information office)

DAY 3- FULL DAY IN UBUD

The best 2 things that you can do in Ubud in the Morning are:-

 Campuhan ridge walk (Ubud Hiking And Trekking), Morning 08.00 am - afternoon 14.00
Pm. This Campuhan ridge walk is the best place for you to experience the trekking
activity. It’s more than only hiking trail, through its path will accompany you to explore
Ubud in amazing natural side. You will feel a peaceful atmosphere attack your mind
after entering this ridge. You may say this place is like the heaven of beauty with full of
romantic impression in every single view. Adults US$40, children US$25.

 Ayung River Rafting (Ayung River), Jalan Raya Ubud (5 km from central ubud), ayung
river very popular for rafting adventures because river have a good view with every stop
point you find reliefs carved into the stone and waterfall, reccommended visit
morning. IDR 350.000/ Person.

Next you can visit the -

Monkey Forest, Jl Monkey Forest, Ubud, ☎ +62 361 971304 A sacred forest full of ravenous
monkeys, so don't bring any food or you will risk bites and a need for rabies injections. If you
are bitten, visit the first aid clinic near the entrance at the bottom of Jalan Monkey Forest. Stroll
through to find Pura Dalem Agung Padangtegal, a temple of the dead. A visit to the very
informative website beforehand is highly recommended. Entrance 40,000 Rp for adults. Be
wary around the monkeys that occupy the Monkey Forest. They are experts at stealing
possessions like glasses, cameras and even handbags, and have been known to attack people
carrying food. Bali is currently battling a rabies outbreak, and the likelihood is that these
monkeys could carry the disease. No matter how cute they look, feeding them is just asking for
trouble. They can often be seen meticulously grooming each other. The young monkeys are
extremely cute and playful. Some may tug on your shirt, or even climb on your shoulders or
head. Be very, very cautious of the larger, male males as they can be aggressive. Do not stare or
make eye contact with them or reach out to them as they may take it as a challenge.

In the evening you can either go Shopping, Spa or go to the The White Herons of Petulu

The White Herons of Petulu, Petulu. Every evening between 15,000 and 20,000 cattle egrets,
known colloquially as white herons and in Balinese, kokokan, roost in the village of Petulu just
ten minutes north of Ubud. It is quite a spectacle as these large, elegant white and rusty orange
birds arrive in countless groups and tussle for the prime roosting spots. Each morning at dawn
they leave en-masse to find feeding spots around the island. Some also breed in the area and
nests can be seen in the roadside trees. The cattle egrets are joined by smaller numbers of little
egrets and Javan pond herons. According to local legend, the egrets first appeared here in such
large numbers after one of the worst massacres of suspected communists during the troubles
of 1965. This led local villagers to believe that these birds are the souls of the slaughtered, and
ceremonies to that effect are still held today. The village of Petulu is reached by heading east
from Ubud town centre on Jl Raya Ubud until you meet the obvious junction with Jl Raya
Andong. Turn left, and go up the hill for about 2 km until you see the sign posted left turning on
Jalan Kintamani to Petulu village. Go into the village and then past the ticket point. After about
500 meters you can watch the birds from community hall building on your left, currently in
renovation (Aug 2014). For June, July and August, get there by 5:30PM. 20,000 per adult.

Shopping:-

Ubud Market

Located at the corner of Jl Monkey Forest and Jl Raya Ubud, this is a double storey warren of
stalls bursting at the seams with wood carvings, batik shirts, sarongs, and all manner of other
souvenirs aimed specifically at tourists. The merchants here haggle with tourists for a living, and
think nothing of asking for ten times the going price, so try to establish a baseline before you go
in to buy. Most of the merchants downstairs will lose interest if you try to get a reasonable
price. It is better to try the shops upstairs where you will find the same products often for sale
at lower prices. You will still need to use your best bargaining skills of course. Try to avoid the
period from 11AM-2PM when tour buses from further afield tend to arrive en-masse.

If hiring a car for a day, it might be worth it to make a stop in Tegallalang, where they are
geared more towards wholesale buyers. The Sukawati Market is crowded and sells trinkets in
bulk as well, but quality is dubious.

****Note:- there is Craft Village between Ubud and Sanur, this can be seen while on the way
back to Pecatu.

Spas:-

 SenS Spa, 1 Jalan Sukma (junction of Jalan Sukma and Jalan Raya Ubud)

emphasis on the spiritual elements of healing.

Vegan Resturants :- KAFE and Warang Sopa

DAY 4- UBUD TO PECATU VIA SANUR

I would recommend going to Sanur as it’s an Wonderful Beach. So on returning back to Pecatu,
you can take this Route.

First Stop:- Batubulan

Craft villages between Ubud and Sanur

The road to Ubud from Sanur in the south passes through a series of small towns and villages
which specialize in the production of particular arts and crafts. The towns
are Batubulan/Singakerta for stone carvings, Celuk for silver jewellery, Batuan for paintings,
and Mas for wood carvings. The whole area is sometimes referred to as the "craft villages" of
Bali, although it is all a bit more built-up and congested than one might infer from the term
"village."

This is the best area to see and buy a wide variety of Balinese craftwork in a short period of
time. There are many large showrooms where arts and crafts in the Balinese style are offered
for sale. Nearly all organised day-tours of central Bali stop at one or more of these showrooms
(and the tour operators usually have a financial tie-up with the places where they stop,
collecting a commission on purchases.) Be careful, many of these shops specialise in pricing
based on huge commissions to the drivers and tour buses.

Second Stop:- Sanur

Sanur Beach, Bali's earliest beach resort, features a relaxed coastal ambiance. Located on the
eastern side of the island's isthmus, it is the opposite of Kuta, both in characteristics and
nuance. The former fishing village maintains most of its charm and continues to attract repeat
visitors, mostly from Europe.

You can try many watersports on offer at Sanur Beach. Try kitesurfing, windsurfing,
wakeboarding, surfing or paragliding. For those less active, hire a banana boat and hit the calm
waters.

You can also visit Pura Blanjong (Blanjong Temple), Jl Danau Poso, Blanjong (just south of
Sanur). The most notable temple in Sanur which contains a major, important inscription on a
stone pillar called the Prasati Blanjong. The inscription tells of a Javanese king who visited Bali
in the 10th century and installed what was probably Bali's first formal government. This is Bali's
oldest known artifact.

Vegan Resturants :- Manik Organic and Gateway Of India

Once You reach Pecatu, you can relax in you hotel and evening go for the beaches.
Bingin Beach:-

Bingin Beach is a very beautiful beach with stunning view of Indian Ocean and the great wave
that make it as one of the demanded surfing points by surfers in Bali Island. The wave
characteristic is big, powerful and challenging have been able to stimulate the adrenaline for
every surfer especially for experience surfer until the professional one to conquer the wave at
this beach. Although a little distance away from the parking area and access to the beach is not
good enough yet, it does not miss their attention to challenge the wave and go for surfing here.
The grade wave here is in five level categories that mean the waves are big and powerful that
create the fascinations for surfers to go for surfing adventures at this surfing point. This place
has been many visited by the surfers including the world-class surfers and international surfers
to attend for surfing competition at this rocky beach.

*** you can also visit the Uluwatu Temple ( provided you are not exhausted with temples  ) is
a Balinese sea temple (pura segara) in Uluwatu (Kuta South, Badung). The temple is regarded as
one of thesad kahyangan and is dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa in his manifestation
as Rudra.

You can also go to other Beaches like Padang Padang Beach.

Vegan Resturants ( Pecatu ) :- Happy Budha Vegeterian

DAY 5- NUSA DUA

Some G.K:- The name Nusa Dua is derived from the two small islands to the east. Though it’s
the most developed area in Bali, it still houses many temples, a museum, and lots of other
attractions. The enclave is an idyllic place for honeymooners and for those who bring the entire
family.

Nusa Dua is full of Beaches so check out more than one.

Pantai Geger (Geger Beach). This is the public beach in Nusa Dua. This splendid white sand
beach at the western edge of the enclave retains lots of the character that is missing in the
sanitised Nusa Dua resort zone. Generally safe for swimming and some beach side warungs.
The restaurant, beachbeds and massage ladys all work for the local cooperative. By supporting
them you support the locals. Geger has a cooling breeze as it is one of the few beaches facing
east and because of the reef far out from the beach it has some of the warmest water
temperatures in Bali.

Water Blow. There is one spot in the area of Nusa Dua Beach, Bali, called "Water Blow" which is
a rock formation where waves colliding onto the rock wall creates a giant splash like the water
is "blowing up". Water Blow is located on the Nusa Dua peninsula on Nusa Dua Beach just north
of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. This amazing attraction is located on the far edge of the peninsula.
The interesting mechanism of Water Blow is that on the cliff, face-to-face with the Indian
Ocean, there is a large narrowing gap. When the wave rolls in and hits the cliff, it is caught in
the gap and slammed into the top. From a distance it appears like a huge white foam dancing to
the top. As larger and faster waves approach, the higher waves tower over the cliff. If not
careful, you will get wet.

Blue Point Beach (pantai Suluban), jalan pantai suluban,ungasan. This beach is less prestigious
than Kuta, Sanur or Nusa Dua. But if you have visited this beach, you'll surely be fascinated with
the exoticism of this offer. If you want to see the beach from the top, the café area has a great
vantage point. But if you want to enjoy the sensation of clear water, you can go down the steps
to the beach. To reach this beach, you have to walk down past the rather steep hill derivative,
through a gap of two cliffs. Physical beaches with white sand is similar to his brother: Padang-
padang beach and Dreamland beach. After reaching the shore, you'll enjoy its beauty because
the beach is surrounded by a wall of rock that juts into such caves, and large rocks that you can
sit on while looking at the scenery. The high rocks surrounding the beach and the notches are
indented, making it an attractive beach viewed from any angle.

Pandawa Beach (Hidden Beach), Jalan kutuh,north kuta (near uluwatu temple). Pandawa
Beach is located in Kutuh Village, South Kuta District, Badung Regency; around 3 km from the
famous Nusa Dua area and Uluwatu Temple. In the past, this beach was hidden behind a hill so
it was called Secret Beach. Secret Beach was actually known well by some tourists. However,
the difficult access to this location made this beach empty. The few visitors that did go were
either foreign surfers or domestic tourists. admission tickets : IDR 10.000.

Vegan Resturant :- Indian Dhaba Restaurant
