We will set off from Ubud's lively streets and explore the peaceful villages of Southern Ubud. We'll travel through the stunning terraces, uncovering secret treasures as we wander the backroads. We park our bikes just outside cafe Green Lotus, where charming & funny Wedi is waiting to serve a delectable vegan feast.
Our journey today will culminate in a visit to the hidden Cantika spa - the perfect place for an indulgent and luxurious experience. Whether you choose a scrub bath followed by a bath filled with roses, or a Balinese traditional massage, you are sure to be pampered and relaxed. Remember you are worthier than the worthiest!

We’ll meet and wake up our bodies with a gentle yoga -session under the branches of the Banyan Tree.

Step by step, we’ll guide you how to make your own little flower-offering-basket that you later will offer at the water temple. These flower baskets, that we call Canang Sari, are being offered every day. According to Balinese beliefs, smoke from the incense sticks carries your offering to all the Gods, Goddesses and ancestors.

Home cooked vegan lunch is served on the terrace with the sounds of ducks and birds and the soothing feeling of the breeze.

Before we head out to the water temple, we’ll get dressed with the appropriate and traditional Balinese ceremonial clothes, so you can enter the sacred areas and temples.

Over the bamboo bridge and through Ubud’s backroads, we’ll son reach the waterfall temple, where we will guide you through the different steps of the traditional Balinese water ceremony, which is a very important ritual in Bali.

Before we leave the waterfall temple, you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the sacred waters for a cleansing and purifying bath to complete your whole experience. On the way up, we make an exotic juice stop at our friend Wayan's place. Wayan loves flowers and grows varieties that resemble those seen in the Avatar movie. From the terrace, the lush jungle can be seen in all its glory. In the afternoon, we will enter the majestic hotel of Champuan and explore a cave adorned with monkey statues decorating the walls and ceilings. Here, you have the choice to plunge into a hot pool or slide into an icy one.

Leaving Ubud behind us, we embark on an adventure to the mountains of the North – home to the Gods and Goddesses in Balinese belief.

Our hike through the wild jungle will lead us to stunning waterfalls, lush green foliage, and clove and coffee plantations. We’ll take time to swim in natural pools, wade through small river crossings, and shower under the pure spring water.

The trek will end with a home-cooked lunch at the mountain-cottage ‘Giri Putri’, overlooking the ocean crashing into the shore. Check in to our tranquil mountain retreat surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sounds of nature.

We will wake to Mother Nature’s early morning chorus, and be guided through our morning ritual and self-care practice.

At the end of Lake Buyan, Santi and his companions are ready to take us out on their traditional Balinese dugout canoes, over the tranquil lake.

At the narrow strip of land that separates the Twin Lakes, we walk the short walk through the jungle and reach the sacred temple that is embedded in the crowns of the jungle.

Home-cooked lunch is served on the terrace of our Giri Putri mountain cottage.

When dark sets in, we come together under the ‘Wolf ’full moon to perform a sacred ritual, expressing our profound appreciation for the gifts of Mother Earth with sacred mantras.

After a night’s rest and an energy-filled breakfast we are ready for a new adventure.

We'll roll down the ridge to the local market, where a variety of fruit in every flavor and hue will tantalize your taste buds!

As we roll down a bit further, we arrive at the Yeh Panas Hot Springs. Here we can get soaked in the warm water to relax muscles and improve circulation or get refreshed in the waterfall.

Lunch will be served with breathtaking views overlooking the ancient rice fields. After this is time to ride! Keen cyclists have the option of venturing 2 kilometers off-road through narrow winding paths. Another option is to take the main road to the Banyan tree where the two paths meet.

From here, together we will cruise the meandering roads, passing through lush hills and rice paddies, leading to Sangeh monkey forest. Our final destination is the Tirta Taman Mumbul. Huge trees shade the emerald-green lake, inhabited by giant Koi fish.

This morning, we will take part in our final session of yoga together as our extraordinary journey together comes to a close.

After a nourishing breakfast, we will bid farewell to one another, carrying the memories of our time together in our hearts.
