Tukad Cepung was breathtaking. Tegallalang Paddy Terrace is truly Instagram-worthy. The coffee plantation allows you to try around 13 different kinds of coffee and tea, all included in the package.
But most importantly, my guide Arta made this trip unforgettable. As an avid solo traveler, I’m used to exploring on my own, but Arta made me experience the joy of traveling with someone who felt like a younger brother. He connected with me easily, and I immediately felt comfortable around him.
He was genuinely honest, and his caring and thoughtful nature was evident throughout the trip. At the waterfall, he was always quick to offer a helping hand and support me during the hike. He also surprised me with his kind gestures at Kintamani, Tegallalang, and the coffee plantation.
I will definitely return to Bali in the future—just to travel with him again. If you’re lucky enough to have Arta as your guide, consider yourself fortunate. Be sure to give him lots of appreciation and love.
