   Ubud

   1 hour

   After being warmly welcomed by your Balinese guide and driver at your booked accommodation along selected beaches in the south, we leave the beach regions for the day and head straight into the countryside. First, we visit a traditional Balinese house compound, known as a karang. A Balinese home is the result of a complex interweaving of various elements – a kind of feng shui (the interaction of the physical world with the spirit one), economic wealth, caste, kinship ties and practical social requirements. Learn about the architectural significance at a family compound before we head out to Mas, a village of artisans with a focus on woodcarvings.
