Sacred gems of Bali

Bali
Temples

For the Balinese people, faith, religion, and temples hold sacred significance. On this journey, you will visit one of the most important sites for Hindu pilgrims — the temple of Tanah Lot, built on an ocean rock. You can approach it only by following a narrow stretch of land at low tide. If you make a donation to the temple, you may encounter a monk who will gladly guide you through the process of “cleansing your thoughts.”

Next, we will visit the picturesque Lake Buyan, where you will see Ulun Danu, a stunning water temple surrounded by lush gardens. Afterward, we will explore a mysterious abandoned hotel and a place admired by all travelers to Bali — the breathtaking Gitgit Waterfall.

With the first rays of sunshine, you will discover the amazing and diverse world of the North. The landscape here differs from the South—northern Bali is characterized by fertile volcanic soil and farms. Along the way, we will stop at several viewpoints to take in the stunning landscapes of northern Bali: jungles, waterfalls, lakes, and volcanoes. Here, traditional Balinese temples are celebrated for their picturesque gardens, intricate locations, and unique architecture.
