Batik Weaving – Batubulan Village
Visit a Batubulan / Batik making area to observe traditional canting, wax, and manual cloth-dyeing techniques. Short photo time and demonstration (approx. 30 minutes).
Tips from local experts:
- Wear breathable clothing; workshops can be warm and use wax—avoid loose scarves that could touch hot wax.
- Bring a small extra bag for any textiles you may purchase; many pieces are lightweight but take space.
- This stop involves brief standing and short walks between displays; comfortable shoes are recommended.
Silver smith and Traditional Bali House – Celuk Village
Visit Celuk, the traditional silver-craft village. Observe silversmithing and visit a traditional Balinese house; time allocated ~40 minutes.
Tips from local experts:
- If you wish to photograph inside workshops or homes, ask the guide first—some artisans prefer permission.
- Silver items may be marked by metal type; if sensitive to metals, check before trying on jewelry.
- There are short standing periods and narrow walkways; keep bags close and watch for workshop tools.
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Ubud
Explore Mandala Suci Wenara Wana (Ubud Monkey Forest), the natural habitat of long-tailed macaques. Time allocated ~50 minutes for walking and viewing key temple points.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep cameras and belongings secured—monkeys are curious and may try to grab loose items.
