Begin your journey in the peaceful village of Tegalwangi, where your guide will introduce the local area before leading you on a gentle walk through the village and down to the banks of the Melangit River. Surrounded by lush bamboo, coconut palms and tropical vegetation, you'll visit the hidden Taman Harum Temple, where, dressed in a traditional sarong, you'll take part in a simple purification ritual using the temple's sacred spring water.
Continue through the jungle, crossing the Melangit River into neighboring Bangli Regency before passing the ancient Goa Puri Temple, renowned for its intricate stone carvings. At the end of the trail, a traditional Balinese vehicle will transfer you to Guliang Village, where you'll pause to enjoy a refreshing local drink.
Here, you'll be welcomed by a traditional Balinese palm reader, who will offer a fascinating insight into your life, health and future through palm reading or tarot. You'll then experience a private healing session with a Balinese Usada therapist, whose ancient practices combine traditionafilel medicine, prayer and generations of spiritual knowledge to restore balance and wellbeing.
Your experience concludes with a traditional Melukat water blessing ceremony, a powerful cleansing ritual designed to purify the mind, body and spirit and reconnect you with your natural energy. Afterwards, enjoy a leisurely lunch overlooking the tranquil rice paddies before returning to your hotel.
