Dear all, here's our simple itinerary when we were in Bali.
Basically we were trying to cover some areas outside of Kuta and mainly Ubud as we have stayed in Kuta the previous time when we were in Bali, so those looking for something out of the beach comfort zone, this might be a good guide for you! Below are really snippets of our trip. Will post more in detail later!
Accomodation:
we stayed @ PURI GARDEN Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia (nothing fancy but it's very affordable for a clean room and toilet facilities, also because we didnt manage to book Tegal Sari in advance. I highly recommend that you booked with them in advance!!! they are super hot!)
Approx. Price USD 52 nett (inclusive of taxes)

Hi, just want to know if the hotspring is at the bottom of the volcano or have to climb up to the volcano then can see the hotspring?
ReplyDeletedo you think the hotspring is worth to go? I am trying to DIY my tour because we intend to hire a driver to bring us around.
ReplyDeleteis sangspa good? the place beautiful?
I think it's worth the visit if you aren't tired from the mountain climb! It's enroute but if u have to make a detour just to go to the hotspring then i do not think it's worth the visit. Taipei and kyoto ones are much better!!!
ReplyDeleteSangspa is good value for money! The place is not beautiful and it's quite small, so don't expect much. The massage is good!
