Browse the colourful flower-filled stalls in one section of the market, learning how they are used to make temple offerings.

Then it’s time to make one of these unique Balinese offerings. Called canang sari, the offerings are an integral part of Balinese life with three offerings presented daily in gratitude to the Gods. Alongside the guide and other locals, design a personalized offering while hearing stories about the rituals of Bali’s residents.

Following this culture filled morning, travel into the countryside for lunch. Enjoy a delicious local meal while enjoying views of the surrounding rice terraces. Then it’s time to get a closer look at Bali’s spectacular countryside with a soft trek. Follow a path that criss-crosses the rice fields and passes under shady palm trees. Stop to learn about rice production and the innovative subak system of irrigation used by Balinese farmers.

In the afternoon, guests visit Pura Tirta Empul, one of Bali’s most significant water temples. After an introduction to the role of water in Balinese Hinduism, guests are invited to join local pilgrims in the sacred pools for a traditional Melukat purification ritual, offering a meaningful and respectful spiritual experience.
