Description

In the quiet hills of Bali stands an Umah Bali Kuno, an ancient traditional house built with wooden pillars, woven bamboo walls, and a roof of alang-alang grass, arranged according to the sacred balance of Tri Hita Karana—between humans, nature, and the divine. Within its peaceful courtyard, small pavilions for prayer and family life surround stone carvings and ancestral symbols, preserving centuries of wisdom. Beside the house stretches a traditional coffee plantation, where trees grow under the shade of the forest and red coffee cherries are picked by hand. The beans are dried under the warm sun, roasted slowly over a wood fire, and prepared with simple tools, creating the deep, earthy flavor of Balinese coffee. Together, the ancient home and the plantation form a living heritage, where tradition breathes in harmony with the land. Next journey to Abian Desa Rice Terrace is a serene landscape of cascading green paddies in Bali, shaped with grace by the ancient wisdom of the Subak community, the traditional farmers’ collective that has guided rice cultivation for centuries. Water flows from the mountains through hand-built canals, shared fairly among all farmers under the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which teaches harmony between people, nature, and the spiritual world. At the heart of this system stands the Subak temple, where farmers gather to honor the rice goddess and offer prayers for balance, good harvests, and the well-being of the land. Walking or cycling along the peaceful paths, you can feel the rhythm of village life, hear the soft whisper of the wind across the rice, and watch farmers tending the fields with quiet dedication. Less crowded and more authentic than famous tourist spots, Abian Desa is a living story of community, harmony, and nature working together, where the spirit of Subak flows through every terrace, every channel of water, and every blessing at the temple. Continue to Goa Gajah, or the Elephant Cave, is an 11th-century spiritual site near Ubud, Bali, that beautifully reflects the harmony between Hindu and Buddhist traditions in the island’s early history. The dramatic cave entrance, carved with a protective face, opens to a small chamber where the Hindu god Ganesha and the sacred lingga and yoni symbols of Shiva are enshrined, showing the deep roots of Hinduism. Surrounding the cave, ancient stupas, carvings, and a holy bathing pool reveal the presence of Buddhist meditation practices, creating a peaceful coexistence of two great religions. Set in a lush tropical landscape, Goa Gajah stands as a symbol of unity, where Hindu and Buddhist beliefs blended naturally in a shared spiritual space. Finally to Suwat Waterfall is a hidden jungle gem in Bali, reached by a short forest trek. Its clear pool, bamboo raft, and rocky jumps create a fun, wild adventure surrounded by cliffs and hanging vines.
