Your journey begins after picking you up from your hotel with a scenic drive toward Ubud. Instead of rushing from stop to stop, this tour gives you something most Ubud itineraries don’t: free time to explore the town on your own terms.
On arrival, enjoy a generous window of free time in central Ubud: wander through the Ubud Palace courtyard, visit the lotus-filled Saraswati Temple, or browse the colourful stalls of the Ubud Art Market. Those who prefer a quieter moment can settle into one of the many cafés and simply soak in the town’s creative atmosphere.
In the late afternoon, regroup and continue to a nearby village to visit the workshop of the late I Wayan Muka, one of Bali’s most respected mask and woodcarving masters. Today, his son Komang Mega preserves the family legacy, continuing to carve expressive masks used in ceremonies and dance performances. During your visit, you’ll gain insight into the symbolism behind these iconic characters you see all over the island.
As the day cools, make your way to a traditional cooking school for the highlight of the afternoon. You’ll prepare classic dishes such as Sayur Urab (vegetable salad with grated coconut), a comforting Balinese soup, pepes ikan (fish steamed in banana leaf), sate lilit, and red and white rice. Vegetarian guests can look forward to Balinese-style tofu curry, sweet-and-spicy tempeh, and pepes tofu. The experience ends on a sweet note with kolak, a beloved dessert of coconut milk, sweet potatoes, and palm sugar. The evening concludes with a relaxed dinner featuring the dishes you’ve prepared. After dinner, unwind during a comfortable early-evening drive back to your hotel.
You’ll return with a full stomach. Our Driver will take care you back to your hotel in Bali.
