Take a bird-watching tour of the countryside right outside of Ubud. You will be charmed by enthusiasm and knowledge of your guide Sumadi who is experienced Balinese ornithologist. Even if you’re not an experienced birder, there’s plenty to appreciate about this environment — you’ll pass by the rice fields and scenic temples that make rural Bali so memorable. You will learn a little bit about herbs and plants as well.

This tour lasts from 9:00 AM until 12:30 PM, and covers 3 miles (5 km) of the countryside. On this leisurely tour, you’re likely to see as many as 30 species of birds, including endemic species like the Java kingfisher, the Java sparrow, and the scarlet-headed flowerpecker. Your guide also specializes in butterflies, and will point out a few species of these colorful insects as well. After your educational walk, you’ll have a well-deserved lunch at a fabulous Warung Murni with a view to jungles.
