Jungle Trekking at Mt. Batukaru, scenic Waterfall & village life

Begin your day with a morning pick-up from your hotel by your personal guide, followed by a scenic 1-2 hour drive through Bali’s stunning landscapes and lush green rice terraces. Along the way, there will be several opportunities for photo stops as you make your way to the mountain slopes of Mt. Batukaru, Bali’s second highest peak.

Before embarking on your jungle trek, visit the sacred Pura Luhur Batukaru temple to seek permission from the forest spirits, a meaningful ritual that marks the start of your adventure. The surrounding nature reserve boasts one of Bali’s most pristine rainforests. Equipped with a walking stick, you will trek through dense jungle filled with giant ferns and ancient trees. Crossing clear mountain streams, you’ll be guided by a knowledgeable local ranger who will share insights on the rainforest’s unique flora and fauna. Listen closely to the sounds of birds and monkeys as your ranger identifies them and demonstrates survival techniques used in the jungle. The trek’s highlight is a mystical jungle temple where you can pause for a picnic featuring freshly brewed coffee and traditional Balinese snacks.

After this invigorating jungle experience, enjoy a scenic drive to a peaceful mountain village. Here, a gentle walk along terraced rice fields leads you to the Balikaru activity center. Your guide will introduce you to the lush tropical garden that features over 40 different plants, herbs, and spices used in traditional medicine and Balinese cuisine. Refresh yourself with a healthy Jamu herbal drink and a relaxing 15-minute massage to restore your energy after the trek.

Lunch is served at Warung Balikaru, a cozy local eatery where you can unwind and savor authentic Balinese dishes while enjoying the tranquil garden views. After lunch, take a leisurely stroll through the charming mountain village. On clear days, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Batukaru and surrounding volcanoes.

Next, visit the Belulang hot springs, a sulfur-rich spring known for its healing properties and a favorite spot for locals seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Finally, your journey continues to the serene Yeh Ho waterfall nestled in unspoiled nature, offering the perfect backdrop for memorable photos.

Your driver and guide will then escort you back to your accommodation, concluding this enriching full-day tour around 5 pm. Experience Bali’s spiritual heritage, vibrant nature, and warm hospitality all in one unforgettable day.
