After breakfast, you will be picked up from the hotel and take a 30-minute private bus transfer to Kanto Lampo Waterfall. This waterfall is renowned for its distinctive rock formations and the refreshing experience of standing beneath the cascading water. It offers an environment for visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by lush tropical scenery. To reach the waterfall, you will start from the parking lot and walk down a set of cement stairs, which takes about ten minutes. Please note that the climb back up the stairs can be more challenging. You’ll then walk in about ankle deep water for another 10 minutes to reach the waterfall where you'll have the opportunity to stand beneath the falling water for a refreshing experience and snap some pictures. The total walking/hiking distance is about 300m (0.2 mi). The terrain is beginner friendly with a set of stairs, some dirt trails with rocks, and walking through ankle deep water.

After the waterfall, you’ll take a 30-minute private bus north to Tirta Empul Water Temple. For thousands of years, Balinese people believed that the water that comes from these springs heal and purify people’s inner and outer self. You will learn about the purification ritual and get to participate in it yourself. You’ll present offerings, that will be prepared for you in advance, and then get into the pool under the flowing fountains for the purification. Then you’ll finish off with some guided prayer. You can wear your swimwear underneath a provided sarong for the purification ritual. Note that you’ll want to dress conservatively (guides will provide sarongs for cover ups as needed). If you are menstruating or actively bleeding from any wounds (male or female), you will be prohibited from entering the temple under Balinese tradition.

You’ll transfer on a private bus from the hotel in Ubud to Rumah Desa for a farming experience and cooking class. Bathroom breaks will be made as needed.

After breakfast, you will check out of the hotel and head to Rumah Desa for a full day adventure in the authentic Balinese Village of Tabanan. You’ll get to see the architecture and daily lives of the locals that live there. Then you’ll head to the rice fields and your guide will tell you all about the rice paddies and you’ll learn different farming practices from the farmers themselves. If you would like, you can even get into the wet rice fields for a fully immersive experience. Note that most farmers have a working ox that helps them plow the lands. You’ll also learn about how the crops are processed to become food in the cooking class. You are mostly walking around village roads but once you get out to the farm and rice paddy it is mostly dirt. *TrovaTrip works in tandem with the local operator to vet and ensure all animals are treated humanely and respectfully.

From the farm you’ll walk about 15 minutes to the compound where you will be participating in a cooking class. As a part of the farming experience, you’ll use some of the crops grown on the farm to learn how to prepare some vegan Balinese dishes such as a Balinese salad. Usually, the larger group will be divided into smaller groups and each group will create a dish. After the dish is ready, guests will have lunch with what they already prepared. *Vegan and vegetarian options must be notified in advance.

Lunch is included at the compound after the Rumah Desa Cooking Class. The menu consists of the dishes that were created during the cooking class. Water is included.
