Itinerary

Day1

Arrival, Ubud welcome & cultural orientation

Arrival at Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar). Meet your private driver and guide, then transfer to Ubud (approx. 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic). After check-in and a short rest, enjoy a gentle cultural orientation: visit Ubud Royal Palace (Puri Saren Agung) and the nearby Ubud Art Market. Finish with a stroll to Pura Taman Saraswati to see its lotus ponds and classical architecture. Evening: welcome briefing and optional traditional dance performance.

Tip: Keep your first day light to adjust after travel. Comfortable shoes recommended for temple grounds.

Day2

Tirta Empul purification & Gunung Kawi Sanctuary

After breakfast head to the sacred complex of Tirta Empul (Tampaksiring). Participate in the traditional holy-water purification ritual — a heart of this Bali Pilgrimage tour package (wear appropriate temple attire; sarongs and sashes provided if needed). Continue to the ancient Gunung Kawi rock-cut shrines set within a lush river gorge. Optional stop at a local coffee plantation for a tasting and learning about Balinese kopi luwak production. Return to Ubud for dinner and overnight.

Important: Purification is a personal spiritual activity. Respect local customs and follow your guide's instructions.

Day3

Besakih Mother Temple & transfer to Sidemen

Early departure eastwards to visit Pura Besakih, Bali's largest and holiest temple complex known as the Mother Temple. Explore its layered shrines and expansive views of Mount Agung. After the temple, enjoy a scenic drive through East Bali and arrive in Sidemen, where you'll check into your accommodation overlooking rice terraces. Evening at leisure with optional walk through the serene countryside.

Note: Besakih is on the slopes of Mount Agung; altitude and cooler temperatures are possible. Modest clothing required inside temple grounds.

Day4

Lempuyang (Gateway to Heaven) & coastal temples, transfer to Seminyak

Start pre-dawn for the optional iconic visit to Pura Luhur Lempuyang (commonly called the 'Gateway to Heaven') for sunrise photos and a spiritual moment — arriving early helps beat queues. Afterwards, visit Goa Lawah (Bat Cave Temple) and enjoy a coastal drive with views of traditional fishing villages. In the afternoon transfer back west to Seminyak for your final night by the beach. Evening free for shopping, sunset at Seminyak Beach, or a relaxing spa.

Tip: Lempuyang involves many stair steps; be prepared for a moderate climb. If you choose to skip Lempuyang, enjoy a relaxed morning in Sidemen exploring local crafts and rice-field walks.

Day5

Departure with final blessings & transfer to airport

Morning at leisure in Seminyak—enjoy a final beachfront walk or last-minute shopping at local boutiques. Depending on your flight time, visit a small local temple for a short goodbye blessing or head straight to Ngurah Rai International Airport for your departure. Transfer to the airport with ample time for international check-in and departure.

Important: Confirm your flight timing with your guide; evening flights may allow for more daytime leisure.
