Discover the mythology of Lord Indra creating the spring to restore balance after an evil king poisoned local water sources. Next, head to Mancingan Rice Terrace, a hidden gem near Ubud. Enjoy a tranquil walk through the rice fields, capture beautiful photos, and experience the calm and beauty of nature. Support local farmers by purchasing fruits or coconuts. Finally, visit Umah Bali Kuno, a small coffee plantation and ethnographic museum near Tampaksiring. Immerse yourself in traditional Balinese life as you explore living quarters, a family temple, and traditional Balinese offerings. Try your hand at folding traditional spirit offerings and sample Balinese coffee and tea on a wooden terrace. Learn about the coffee bean processing and roasting methods, including the unique production of Kopi Luwak (civet coffee). Discover exhibits of old traditional items, providing insight into Balinese heritage.
