As has been mentioned earlier, Bali also has Telaga Waja River to test your guts. Telaga Waja is very challenging for rafting. This fantastic river is located in Muncan, a beautiful village in Rendang district, Karangasem regency. Telaga Waja River is level 4. The length of this river is about 14 km, so it's very challenging for rafting enthusiasts.

If you are experienced with this water sports, I suggest Telaga Waja River, but if you are a beginner or a bit older, then the right choice is the Ayung River. During the rafting trip, you will be presented with the natural scenic beauty of Bali, and filled with shades of green. You can hear the birds singing and enjoy the fantastic views of rice fields.

Having exhausted after enjoying whitewater rafting, you will be very hungry, then you will be treated to a special lunch for you. While enjoying the food, you can relax in the beautiful natural scenery of Bali. 

So, what would you do so after a tasty lunch? Do not worry, you can go to the Monkey Forest, and meet tame monkeys in Ubud, you can even feed them bananas. You can also continue the journey to Kintamani or to a traditional Balinese village, Penglipuran.

Once you are tired enjoy challenging rafting, you also can relax around Ubud. You can go to a resort's spa and enjoy a very unique spa or massage in the Balinese atmosphere.

Another way to unwind, especially if you want to restore your strength, then do yoga or meditation in Ubud is also a good option. Find your inner peace by practicing the chakra that lies within you. After you have finished the practice of yoga, you like being born again as a new you. 

I suggest you for a coffee break at Kori Ubud and enjoy a cup of Balinese coffee. Kori Ubud is a cozy boutique hotel in this beautiful small town. Make sure you order the fried banana or other snacks. 

If you do not stay in Ubud or other inns, then you can move on to Kuta, Sanur, Jimbaran, Seminyak, Bedugul or Lovina Beach. 

Ubud and many other interesting places in Bali will surely be the most beautiful memories in your life. I am sure you will always want to go back on vacation and enjoy the beauty of the sunset or the beautiful Balinese culture, especially the people of Bali are very friendly. And of course, rafting and other adventure you've been waiting for. Perhaps you're a holiday in Bali for your honeymoon?
