The Tourist Attractions You Will Visit During the Ubud Kintamani Full Day Tour

Barong Dance Performance

Barong Dance Performance is a traditional Balinese cultural show that portrays the symbolic struggle between Barong, a mythical creature representing good, and Rangda, a powerful figure associated with evil. The performance combines dramatic storytelling, traditional gamelan music, colorful costumes, expressive movements, and elaborate masks. Often presented in cultural villages such as Batubulan, the show is based on stories from Balinese mythology and provides visitors with an introduction to the island’s performing arts, spiritual traditions, and cultural heritage.

Tirta Empul Temple

Tirta Empul Temple is a sacred Hindu water temple located in Manukaya Village, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali. Founded in 962 AD during the reign of the Warmadewa dynasty, the temple is famous for its natural spring and traditional purification ritual known as melukat. Worshippers enter the bathing pools and use the water from the fountains as part of a religious purification ceremony. The temple complex also features traditional Balinese shrines, courtyards, and a sacred spring surrounded by lush greenery. Tirta Empul is part of Bali’s cultural heritage and offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the island’s Hindu traditions and spiritual relationship with water.

Kintamani View Point

Kintamani View Point is a popular scenic destination in the highlands of northeast Bali, offering panoramic views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur. Located in Bangli Regency, the area sits at a higher elevation than much of southern Bali, providing cooler temperatures and a refreshing mountain atmosphere. From the viewpoints, visitors can see the volcanic landscape, crater lake, and surrounding hills, while nearby villages and agricultural areas add to the scenery. Kintamani is also part of Bali’s UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape, where traditional agriculture and the subak water management system remain closely connected to local life.

Tegalalang Rice Terrace

Tegalalang Rice Terrace is one of Bali’s most famous agricultural landscapes, located north of Ubud in Tegalalang Village, Gianyar. The area is known for its beautifully layered rice fields carved into the hillside and its traditional subak irrigation system, which reflects Bali’s long-standing agricultural and cultural traditions. The terraces create a striking green landscape, especially during the growing season, and visitors can walk along designated paths to enjoy the scenery. Tegalalang is also surrounded by local villages, small cafes, and traditional craft shops, making it a popular stop for experiencing Bali’s rural landscape and culture.

Ubud Monkey Forest

Ubud Monkey Forest (Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary) is a protected forest and cultural attraction in central Ubud, Bali, home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques and several ancient Balinese temples. The sanctuary is surrounded by dense tropical vegetation, stone sculptures, bridges, and forest pathways that create a distinctive cultural and natural environment. The site is also connected to local Hindu traditions, with the temples and forest considered an important spiritual area for the surrounding community. Visitors can walk through designated areas to observe the monkeys and explore the sanctuary’s natural landscape and cultural heritage.
