Bali in Two Days: Private Two-Day Car Tour from Nusa Dua to Ubud, Tanah Lot & Mount Batur
Two days, a private car, and a cross-section of Bali’s best: lakeside temples, highland calderas and Ubud’s artisans. This compact tour is ideal for travelers who want an efficient, scenic primer on Bali’s landscapes and culture.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start at dawn
Leave early to avoid crowds at Ulun Danu Beratan and to catch cooler highland temperatures around Mount Batur.
Dress for temples
Carry a lightweight sarong or use the ones available at temple entrances; shoulders and knees should be covered.
Hydrate and pace
Carry a refillable water bottle—Bali’s humid coast and cool highlands both demand regular hydration between stops.
Expect varied footing
Wear closed-toe shoes for temple steps, village lanes, and short hikes around viewpoints.

Conservation Note
Visitors should stick to marked paths and avoid single-use plastics; many sites balance high visitor numbers with sacred site management and local waste programs.
Ulun Danu Beratan dates to the 16th century and honors the water goddess; many temples serve both religious and irrigation functions tied to Bali’s subak system.
