Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Kehen Temple, Jl. Raya Bangli North part of Bangli City, Kintamani 80513 Indonesia

Kehen Temple is an ancient Hindu temple complex that has unique architectural features. The temple courtyard is reachable from the roadside and up 38 flights of stairs. Carved sandstone statues depicting mythical animals and Balinese folklore figures adorn the staircases and the central vestibule. The temple’s walls are also ornate with porcelain plates, harking back to the historical relationship between the local Balinese kingdom and China.

** Includes approximate drive time

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Penglipuran, 80611 Indonesia

Penglipuran village is a beautiful highland village in the regency of Bangli in East Bali, best known for its well-preserved layout and culture. While most of its residents have embraced modernity, its individual compounds are well-kept to look traditional. Manicured gardens line the single stone-paved street that runs through the centre of the village toward the local temple, and age-old arched entrance gates and walls conceal each house.

** Includes approximate drive time

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Penglipuran Bamboo Forest, Bangli Indonesia

The bamboo forest in the Penglipuran Traditional Village has an area of tens of hectares. In this forest, fourteen types of bamboo grow. When you enter the forest area, you will see an information board that lists the bamboo that grows in the forest. There are also endemic bamboo species native to Bali.

In the bamboo forest, you can enjoy the cool breeze and the musical sound of the leaves. The wind makes tree trunks rub against each other so that they make sounds like an irregular musical ensemble.

** Includes approximate drive time

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Mount Batur, Kintamani 80366 Indonesia

We'll take you to a special place where you have the best views on Mount Batur, one of Bali's active volcanoes!

We were pleasantly surprised with our tour. Forever Vacations gave us Hendy to be our guide that day. We felt relived and confident what the tour promised for us to be on time to the cruise ship. We enjoyed the tour a lot. Visiting Kehen temple, Panglipuran Village, Bamboo Forest and Mount Batur. Having Balinese coffee, talking to the locals in one of the cleanest town in the world was one of a kind experience. It was indeed special, Hendy made it happen.

We did the heritage and cultural tour with our teenagers. Right from the start Wayne was excellent in both communication and energy. The transport was very good (including the driving on these mad roads - thanks to Mr G) for doing that. We loved the temple and the coffee bean plantation. The tour is well paced and you are not rushed. If you want to see some of the small villages and local it's a good tour for this. But like all trips it's the guides that make it work - thanks again to Wayne and Mr G.
