Journey Through The Sacred Water Temples And UNESCO Recognized Rice Terraces In Western Bali


Experience the serene beauty of Bali’s western highlands on a comprehensive full-day tour that focuses on the island's most significant spiritual and natural landmarks. The route takes you through the Bedugul region, known for its cool mountain climate and lush landscapes. You will visit several sacred water temples, which are integral to the Balinese irrigation system and spiritual life, offering a tranquil environment that reflects the island's deep connection between humanity, nature, and the divine elements of water.


A highlight of the excursion is the visit to the Batukaru Temple, a mountain sanctuary nestled at the base of Mount Batukaru. This ancient site is surrounded by dense rainforest and is considered one of the most important and beautiful temples on the island. Its remote location and traditional architecture provide a peaceful retreat from the more crowded tourist areas, allowing for a quiet moment of reflection and appreciation of the island's enduring spiritual traditions and natural beauty.


The tour continues to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a vast and stunning landscape that has been officially recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. These terraces represent the traditional Subak irrigation system, which has been practiced by Balinese farmers for centuries. Walking along the paths that wind through the emerald-green fields offers breathtaking views of the mountains and the intricate engineering that allows rice to flourish in this challenging yet fertile terrain, showcasing the harmony of human ingenuity.


This tour is designed for those who wish to explore the authentic side of Bali, away from the coastal resorts. By combining visits to historic temples and world-renowned agricultural landscapes, you gain a comprehensive understanding of the island's cultural and environmental heritage. It is a perfect choice for travelers seeking a deep, meaningful connection with the land and the spiritual practices that have shaped the identity of Bali for generations, ensuring an unforgettable and enriching experience.

The Tirta empul temple is really a mistary. We actually didn't know about the temple. After we notice something new in the temple, then I browse the information about the temple and I was very happy to visit this place. There is a mistarious secret behind the water generating 365 days and 24 hrs all the time from the temple primises. They don't allow to drop the coins and stars a notice that dropping is a dangerous. Many people are taking holy bath and doing Pooja. I surprised that there is no entry ticket for this place. A traditional cloth has to wear everyone who wants to enter in to temple. I loved this place and wanted to visit again. After coming out of this temple, there is a big shopping area where some how cheaper than Ubud main center. I strongly recommend to visit this place in Bali.

A Divine Experience at Pura Tirta Empul: I'm still reeling from my visit to Pura Tirta Empul, one of Bali's most sacred Hindu temples. As I stepped into the temple grounds, I felt a palpable sense of spirituality and connection to the divine. The highlight of my visit was the sacred dip in the natural spring fountains, where I was blessed to experience a profound sense of purification and renewal. The water, believed to be holy and healing, washed away my worries and left me feeling light, refreshed, and rejuvenated. As I immersed myself in the cool waters, I felt a deep sense of connection to the universe and the infinite possibilities within me. The tranquil atmosphere, the chanting of mantras, and the gentle flow of the springs all combined to create an experience that transcended the physical realm. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have experienced this sacred ritual, and I leave Pura Tirta Empul feeling blessed, peaceful, and forever changed. My Rating: 5/5 stars* Would I return? In a heartbeat!

Beautiful and Sacred spritual place. Known for Holy Water, melukat and pray. Calm, pure, full of positive energy and Balinese culture. You can join water blessing too for Rp. 10K and locker for Rp. 15K. Ticket for Rp. 50-75K. Huge parking lot. Allocate 1.5-2 hours extra time if you want to melukat. Wear appropriate outfit. Would be better if the toilets are maintained and equipped better.
