Description

Begin your journey at Blangsinga Waterfall, one of the most beautiful waterfalls near Ubud. Walk down a scenic pathway surrounded by tropical greenery to arrive at the powerful waterfall flowing into a natural river pool below. Feel the refreshing mist, take photos from different viewpoints, and enjoy the dramatic atmosphere of the cascading water surrounded by cliffs and lush jungle. Next, continue to the peaceful countryside at Mancingan Rice Terrace. This hidden rice field area offers a more authentic and quiet experience compared to the crowded terraces in Bali. Walk through the green rice paddies, follow small village paths, and learn about the traditional Balinese farming system known as Subak, a UNESCO-recognized irrigation system that has been used by local farmers for centuries. Experience the calm rhythm of rural life and enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The final stop is the sacred Tirta Mengening Temple, a peaceful holy water temple used by Balinese Hindus for purification ceremonies. The temple is known for its clear natural spring water that flows into several purification fountains. Locals come here to perform the traditional melukat ritual, a spiritual cleansing believed to purify the body, mind, and soul. Observe the ceremony or respectfully participate in the purification process while learning about the meaning behind this important Balinese tradition.
