Description

Begin your adventure in Kastala, a quiet village in Karangasem, East Bali. This area is home to one of the most scenic, untouched rice terraces on the island. Enjoy panoramic views of cascading green rice fields with Mount Agung in the background. Start your trek to Tenganan Old Village, and soak up the peaceful and authentic atmosphere, far from the busy tourist zones. The trek from Kastala to Tenganan is about 2 to 3 hours, depending on your pace. The trail winds through rice terraces, tropical forests, river crossings via bamboo bridges, and traditional farming villages. After your trek, arrive at Tenganan Pegringsingan, one of the oldest and most traditional villages in Bali, home to the Bali Aga people. Discover Geringsing Weaving, rare double ikat textiles only made here, and see ancient temples and traditional homes built with stone and wood. Take time to walk through the village streets, visit local artisans, and soak in the timeless atmosphere of this remarkable place. After exploring the hills and heritage of East Bali, it’s time to unwind. Just a short 30–40 minute drive from Tenganan, Virgin Beach awaits—a serene and lesser-known coastal escape. Relax on the soft white sand and swim in the clear water. Enjoy the less crowded atmosphere compared to Bali’s southern beaches. Grab a bite to eat at beachfront warungs offering fresh seafood, coconuts, and cold drinks.
