What to expect
You'll start with the centrepiece—a private cleansing ceremony conducted by a Balinese priest at the sacred spring nestled within a cave. Expect bell sounds, ritual offerings, and water immersion in a genuinely reverent atmosphere. Afterwards, you'll move through Ubud's landscapes: sitting quietly by river rocks for personal reflection, then visiting the terraced rice fields where you'll eat traditional Balinese food whilst taking in the vista. The afternoon includes walking through working coffee and herbal plantations with explanations of cultivation and sampling fresh brews. Throughout, your guide will contextualise the spiritual and cultural significance of each stop.
