Amazing day - I had an amazing day with my guide . The highlight for me was receiving a purification blessing. Since today was the public, my guide also participated in the blessing with me and explained all of the steps in how to do it properly. I really felt connected to the Balinese people. Overall I had an amazing time learning more about Balinese culture and traditions and I could not be more thankful to my guide for all of his information and hours of driving. Thank you so much!

Best trip bali - The trip was incredible from start to finish. The scenery is breathtaking, the purification ceremony is beautiful & our guides gave us so much information throughout the tour. I would truly recommend it. Putu eka was our driver and he is the best! All along our journey he told us about Balinese Culture, explained different ceremonies & answered all of our questions. He even had a fresh coconut ready for us to enjoy on our drive back home. He’s brilliant.

Great Trip in Bali - My recent trip to Bali was highlighted by a deeply moving Melukat purification ceremony at Kedatuan Raka Sidhi. The serene atmosphere of the temple, combined with the traditional rituals, created a truly spiritual and cleansing experience. Following this profound spiritual journey, exploring the stunning Jatiluwih rice terraces was the perfect complement. The vast, emerald-green landscapes were breathtaking, offering a sense of peace and a beautiful insight into Bali's rich agricultural heritage. Both experiences combined to make for an unforgettable day of cultural immersion and natural beauty.
