Welcome to a triple
treat trekking experience!. Our newly combined
trekking option is really an exclusive experience. The
new tour begins with a drive through the Gianyar Regency
passing the ‘real’ wood carving area of Tegalalang until
the starting point in the highlands of Taro.
Exclusive to Bali Adventure Tours, our trek takes visitors
through Taro, one of the oldest Hindu Villages in Central
Bali dating back some 3000-4000 years. Taro is steeped
in tradition and culture where rural life is seen as
unchanged for a thousand years. The isolated village
boasts the oldest Temple structure on the island of
Bali and is also home to the famed Sacred White Cows
that are rare to the island.
Wander through a Bamboo Forest and see the timeless
routine of planting and harvesting rice from the endless
stretches of emerald green Rice Paddy fields unfolding
before you.
Trek guides introduce flora and fauna throughout the
tour, including King & Queen palm trees, ferns,
wild orchids, hanging liana and a variety of birds such
as the Java Kingfisher, Black Bali Starling and even
squirrels!.
The 2 hours trek includes an exclusive passage directly
through the spectacular Elephant Safari Park where majestic
and endangered Sumatran Elephants meander by within
inches of your trail.
En route agricultural plantations of coffee, coconut,
and palm can be seen, and tropical fruits such as salak,
durian, jackfruit, papaya, oranges, mandarin, mangoes,
mangostene, plus you can sample spices such as cinnamon,
ginger, and turmeric direct from their natural source.
Lunch is served in the safari inspired coconut and
teak wood open-air restaurant overlooking the bathing
lake of the Elephant Safari Park before a return drive
south through the unspoiled Balinese countryside. |
