Detailed itinerary

To ensure your "Bali Soul Journey" begins and ends with ease, we offer a complimentary pick-up service from hotels and villas in most major tourist areas across Bali, including Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Sanur, and Ubud. Simply provide your accommodation details upon booking, and we will confirm your precise pick-up time, with our friendly driver meeting you in your hotel lobby or a designated spot, usually within a 15-minute window to account for traffic. Please note that a small additional surcharge may apply for pick-ups from more remote locations like Lovina, Munduk, Candidasa, Amed, Sidemen, or Pemuteran, which will be communicated upon booking confirmation, allowing you to simply relax and anticipate your profound spiritual experience.

The driver will escort you to the Balinese house in Bongkasa Pertiwi to see and learn about Balinese traditional compound and do the Canang Making Class.

Our driver will bring you to Taman Mumbul Temple to do the purification ritual and learn Hinduisme in Balinede culture. This temple is less crowded then any temple of purification in Ubud, so it will be perfect for you who want to feel the ritual in piece.

As part of our scenic drive, we'll pass by the Sangeh Monkey Forest, a unique sanctuary featuring ancient nutmeg trees and hundreds of long-tailed macaques. While primarily a drive-by to admire its lush exterior, if you wish to stop and explore inside, you may do so. Please note that the entrance ticket would be an additional cost, payable directly by yourself at the entrance. This sacred site offers a tranquil opportunity to observe the monkeys and the historic Pura Bukit Sari temple within its ancient grove.

Stop 5 Pass by

As we journey, we'll pass through Celuk Village, Bali's renowned center for intricate silver and gold craftsmanship. While primarily a scenic drive-through, offering a glimpse of the many workshops and galleries lining the main road, should you wish to stop and explore further or browse the exquisite handcrafted items, please let your guide or driver know. It's a fascinating area showcasing Bali's incredible artisan talent.

To ensure your "Bali Soul Journey" concludes as smoothly as it began, we provide a complimentary drop-off service to your hotel or villa. This convenient service covers most major tourist areas including Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Sanur, and Ubud, allowing you to simply relax in our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle after your enriching experience. For accommodations located in more remote areas such as Lovina, Munduk, Candidasa, Amed, Sidemen, or Pemuteran, a small additional surcharge may apply, which will be communicated upon booking confirmation, ensuring a seamless end to your adventure.
