Embark on a full-day journey into Bali’s sacred world of water and spirit. Guided by a Mangku, a traditional Balinese priest, you will take part in ancient rituals at a holy temple at a Tjampuhan, where a mountain river from Mount Batukaru meets two holy springs. These ceremonies, passed down for centuries, are performed exactly as they have always been — a living tradition of cleansing and renewal.
Step out of ordinary life and into a realm of balance and inner peace. The day concludes at a hidden jungle waterfall, leaving you refreshed and deeply connected to Bali’s spiritual essence.

Tours in Harmony with Bali’s Soul
At the foot of sacred Mount Batukaru, Balikaru embodies a philosophy of balance: modern travel that protects timeless traditions. Here, tourism is more than visiting – it becomes living with the community.
Our experiences are rooted in rituals, farming practices, and daily life that have shaped Bali for centuries. From the UNESCO-recognized Subak rice-field system to village ceremonies, every encounter honors culture and nature alike.
Because our team comes directly from the village, each guest supports local families, infrastructure, and education. By joining Balikaru, you don’t just discover Bali – you help preserve its soul.
