This was one of the BEST experiences in Ubud. Our guide Budi was a total champ, he felt like a good friend that we cracked jokes with and made us feel safe and comfortable. We went on this scenic jungle trek (wear trousers for sure) to see how strong hardworking locals use it to adapt to their daily lives, after visted a local school. We went to Budi's home to meet some of his family and have lunch. His talented mother was such a delight teaching us to make offerings which we used for the holy water temple and was told what we must dress and do with great explanation. This experience allowed us to really understand the culture and respect it with admiration. This is not a typical tourist trap or rushed experience but the most genuinely wholesome time. We strongly recommend this to try. They went above and beyond, even took me to try a catpoochino haha the lunch was actual balinese food cooked by his mother and we do love spicy food.
