Viewed from within a Plataran hotel, Ubud in Bali, Indonesia poses an exhilarating challenge for a traveler thirsting for new sights and natural wonders. Destinations abound in the area, from lush forests teeming with life to posh spas in the town proper. And these leave a time-pressed traveler slightly panicked upon realizing that a day won't be enough to visit the places that best represent this gem of a town. Traveler websites, in fact, recommend setting aside an entire week for sightseeing. But if you only have 2 or 3 days to spare, then it is a wise choice to rely on local knowledge and book a tour by Ubud hotels and guides.
For 2014 travelers, Plataran Ubud Hotel and Spa offers Urban Getaway Package, a convenient deal that brings together a 3-day stay defined by comfort and a day tour that immerses one in the sights and sounds of nature. This package can be shared by 2 people for only IDR 6,600,000. The itinerary for the guided day trip includes:
1. Monkey Forest
This forest reserve is home to villagers, more than a hundred different species of plants, and an estimated 605 macaques that belong to 4 distinct troops. A testament to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, the lush forest has temples, pagodas, and pavilions.
2. Kintamani
Made up of 9 villages, the place called Kintamani is about half an hour's ride from Monkey Forest and rises 1,500 m above sea level. The site offers adventurers sights of farmlands and temples, and the warm hospitality of its citizens.
3. Mount Batur
Lake Batur, the volcano's caldera, is a good source of fish for those who wish to go fishing. The site is about 30 minutes by car from Kintamani.
