A downhill ride takes us through agricultural settlements and villages to the wood-carving centre of Tegalalang.

We start with a short walk from the hotel to the Neka Museum where we have a chance to compare various forms of traditional Balinese art. As many of the pieces date to the start of the century, these brilliantly colourful paintings also provide insight into Bali before foreign visitors (and cameras!). After our visit we don our caps and anoint ourselves with sun cream and head off the main road and hike back along the narrow paths through the small villages and agricultural tracts behind Payogan. We hike in rice fields and plantations, under the shadows of large palms and bush, along the beautiful natural carving of coconut trees, always within earshot of the heron or other wild bird sounds. We stop for lunch at Koko’s Klub before continuing on through a narrow ridge of Campuhan with villages and valleys on both sides. We drop down from the ridge to join the tributary of Ubud’s two holy rivers and follow the river to the heart of Ubud. Here we break for some well deserved shopping time and a chance to visit an artist in his painting school and meet some of the students. We then return to the hotel to relax and change. Dinner is at LOTUS Café in Ubud.
