Village Hiking and Batur day
We departed from Uma Ubud hotel at 9 Am , heading to my village. We started to walk along the small water stream that still for bathing by some people in the village.
We stop and observed the making of grass-thatched roof. My village is the center of roof making. We then make a brief stop in front of Subak temple. I explained to my four guests about this farmer temple as well as the important rules of Subak for farming and irrigation.
After that we started walking on the path amongst the rice field. The first 10 minutes was an easy walk and then we have to walk down on slippery mud path. My guests were 60 years old and more so we have to do very slowly crossing the terraces.
After crossing a small creek then we reached my family dry farm land where my uncle kind enough to climb coconut tree to get young coconut for us to drink. A nice refreshing drink while we enjoying the nice view of Ayung River below.
I introduced my guest to some tropical plants that grow in our farm and the usage of them. They were very interested in plantation as they were famers back in their country.
We continue our walk to our house compound. They met my active nephew and niece as well as uncles and aunties. Here they also observed the layout of Balinese house and learned philosophy behind it.
We then continued our walk to the car passing the quite part of the village. We passed some rice being dried on the street. After getting to the car, we the drove to Tegalalanf to have lunch over the terraces rice field.
We continue the day to Batur area to see the beautiful Lake and Mount Batur. On the way back we made another stop at Tirta Empul temple before back to the hotel.

Been working as a Bali tour guide and driver for over 15 years. Still very much enjoy my work as I meet many different and interesting people. Things on the road are changing all the time and I would like to share some of those that I show. ------
Taking pictures have been a hobby for me for many years. Now, I am still struggling to make that a hobby as a job. Wish me luck please.
