Description
Ubud is known being the cultural centre of Bali. It is also where the Royal Families still reside. In this trip you will learn Bali history from the time of Kingdom, far before Bali become Indonesia and before the colonial era.
All this is packaged in a walking tour around the central Ubud, starting from the Ubud Art Market as the meeting point, then visiting the Royal Palace – Puri Saren Agung Ubud, then move to Sarasvati Temple and finishing the trip at the local Cafe for Lontar Manuscript workshop. Lontar is palm-leaf that was used in the past as a paper, where to write on it you will use a small razor-blade to make scars on the palm leaf followed by rubbing charred candlenut to make the scar materialize as writing.
