🌴 7-Day Bali Itinerary — Rice Terraces, Temples & Surf
Bali is a spiritual island of unimaginable beauty — emerald rice terraces cascade into river gorges, a thousand temples perfume the air with incense, world-class surf pounds the southern coast, and the Balinese people offer a warmth that stays with you long after you leave.
Top highlights
The places Plannit always recommends for Bali.
Tegallalang Rice Terraces
The most photographed landscape in Bali — stepped emerald paddies near Ubud carved into a river valley.
Tanah Lot Temple
A sea temple perched on a rocky islet, surrounded by ocean at high tide — spectacular at sunset.
Seminyak Beach
Bali's most fashionable beach strip, lined with beach clubs, surf breaks, and spectacular sunset cocktail bars.
Ubud Monkey Forest
A sacred forest sanctuary of 700 Balinese long-tailed macaques and three ancient Hindu temples.
Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
A pre-dawn hike to an active volcano's caldera for one of the most dramatic sunrises in Asia.
Insider tips
Rent a scooter in Ubud — it's the most flexible way to explore inland Bali.
Book Tanah Lot for late afternoon to catch the sunset.
Always carry a sarong for temple visits (or borrow one at the entrance).
Seminyak and Canggu are better for nightlife; Ubud is best for culture and nature.
