Full-Day Bali Car Charter: Ubud, Tegalalang, Kintamani, Tirta Empul & Tegenungan
Spend a private day in a Toyota Innova exploring Ubud’s art villages, the Tegalalang rice terraces, the crater views of Mount Batur, Tirta Empul’s sacred pools and Tegenungan Waterfall. This practical guide outlines what to expect, when to go, and how to prepare for a 10-hour island circuit.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start Early for Clear Volcano Views
Depart by 8:00 AM to reach Kintamani before midday haze and crowds—morning light gives the best Mount Batur visibility.
Temple Dress Code
Carry a sarong and sash or be ready to rent one at Tirta Empul; modest dress is required for temple entry and purification rituals.
Watch Your Step at Waterfall
Tegenungan’s paths and viewing platforms can be slippery—wear treaded shoes and avoid the lowest pools after heavy rain.
Stay Hydrated and Cash Ready
Bring a refillable bottle and small bills for entrance fees, local vendors and parking—ATMs can be sparse near rural stops.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small silversmith studios in Celuk where artisans will show techniques before the tourist shops
- •A roadside coffee stall between Tegalalang and Kintamani that offers unobstructed valley views and local snacks
Wildlife
- •Asian palm civet (sometimes spotted near plantations)
- •Various forest birds including kingfishers and mynas
Conservation Note
Stick to marked paths at terraces and waterfall sites; local communities rely on tourism income, so support small vendors and avoid single-use plastics where possible.
The stops reflect Bali’s layered history: traditional craft villages, the subak irrigation system tied to communal Hindu temples, and Kintamani’s settlement history around Lake Batur after volcanic activity reshaped the landscape.
