Ubud

Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali. Home to the country’s royal family, the town is rich in art and at the center of Balinese craft and traditional dance. In 1936, the King of Ubud co-founded the Pitamaha Artists Cooperative, in which both Balinese and Western painting styles have mutually been flourishing. The town itself has developed dramatically over the past twenty years, with many shops and boutiques offering an ideal ground for unusual and unique retail therapy. Despite this growth, Ubud and its surrounding villages continue to be harmonious and unspoilt. Breathe in the breathtaking beauty, as you witness gently rolling, often terraced paddy fields, dotted with occasional Hindu temples. Rainforests with majestic, centuries-old trees, and dramatic gorges within the tranquil foothills, await your discovery.

Munduk

Munduk in Bali is undoubtedly one of the most charming mountain villages of Indonesia. With its lush hills that are dotted with jungles, paddy fields, fruit trees and other island plants, it is the ideal location to unwind within the harmony of nature. Considerably cooler than other areas of Bali, this region is home to dozens of hazy waterfalls that dramatically rush over rocky slopes. Archaeologists have dug up the past and discovered that Munduk was once home to a sophisticated civilization between the 10th to 14th centuries. In the 1890s, the Dutch conquered the area and developed an economical hub with a wide range of coffee, vanilla, cocoa and clove plantations. Today, the village is home to several accommodation options, catering to all types of visitors – adventurous hikers, casual trekkers, and gentle day dreamers alike.

What Our Guests Say

Enchanting Travels and their staff put together a trip of a lifetime. We hadn’t traveled to Asia before and were nervous about what to expect or how to navigate once we were there. We also really didn’t know what we wanted to do other than a few expectations. We went to four countries with multiple hotels, flights and boat excursions. I cannot believe that the 5 week trip went off with out any hitches! Everything was so smooth and effortless. We did not worry about anything the whole time we were there. It was comforting to know that our trip coordinator was there for us if we needed her and she certainly responded quickly if we did have a need or question. The choices for hotels that Enchanting Travels recommended were superb and the guides and driver were knowledgeable and fun. I can not speak more highly of all of their services and plan on using them again for another big trip.
