Your private day trip with a personal guide can be customized to the preferences of you and your party if there are other places of interest you would like to visit aside from what's mentioned here, which is a suggested itinerary of some of the highlights in this area of Bali.

After pickup in the morning by your private guide, watch a traditional Barong and kris dance, which represents the battle between good and evil. Then visit Kertha Gosa Pavilion, an example of Balinese art and architecture located in the town of Klungkung. Check out the pavilion's most fascinating feature, the painted ceiling that symbolizes the afterlife.

A little after midday, visit Besakih Temple. Considered to be the most important, largest, and holiest temple of the Hindu religion in Bali, Besakih is built on six levels that terrace upward. Then head to Kintamani Volcano for lunch, which may include dishes such as babi guling (suckling pig), ayam betutu (spicy chicken), or nasi campur (mixed rice). While you sit around Lake Batur, enjoy views of Mt. Batur.

After lunch, visit a coffee and spice plantation to try the most expensive coffee in world, luwak, which is produced after an animal known as the Asian palm civet digests and excretes the coffee berries. Then continue your day trip to Penglipuran Traditional Village, which provides insight into Balinese way of life and its unique village culture through the original ceremonies and rules of ancient Balinese people that still hold true here today. During your visit, take in the village layout and architecture, plus enjoy the chance to explore the bamboo rainforest.

Next make your way to Kehen Temple, a beautiful Hindu temple in the foothills of the southern Bangli Regency. Inside, see the Panyimpenan temple building that features three inscriptions about the temple contents and existence.

You will be returned to your accommodation in the evening to end your private tour.
