COMO Shambhala Estate

Take on the Ayung River for an adventurous white-water rafting experience right below COMO Shambhala Estate. Guided by experienced instructors, you’ll paddle through swirling currents and rolling rapids that test your pace and teamwork. Between bursts of adrenaline, look up to see the dense jungle canopy, hidden waterfalls and centuries-old stone carvings along the river walls.

The journey offers a mix of excitement and calm, allowing you to connect with Bali’s wild beauty in motion. No matter if it’s your first time or you’ve rafted before, this experience brings together challenge, discovery and the thrill of being surrounded by raw nature.

Set out on the Tjampuhan Ridge walk, one of Ubud’s most loved trails, starting from the ancient Gunung Lebah Temple – the birthplace of Ubud. The path leads you along a scenic ridge between the Wos rivers, where soft morning light and open landscapes create a peaceful charm for your walk.

As you move past small shrines, coconut palms and rolling hills, you’ll feel a warm connection to the land and its spiritual energy. It’s an easy, refreshing trek that offers you a glimpse into the essence of Ubud, perfectly balancing nature and culture.

Step into the Estate’s main kitchen for a private Balinese cooking class led by COMO Shambhala’s expert chefs. You’ll learn to prepare a three-course meal using fresh, locally sourced ingredients – from fragrant herbs to hand-ground spices. Each step of the process gives you a rich understanding of Bali’s culinary traditions, as you chop, stir and taste your way through authentic recipes.

Guided with care, you’ll discover how simplicity and balance define the island’s cuisine. End the session by enjoying the dishes you’ve created, surrounded by the calm and beauty that make this experience grounding and memorable.
