Embracing the Rain: A Cultural Sojourn in Singaraja

As the rain gently taps on the windows of your luxurious retreat, Singaraja invites you to explore its rich cultural tapestry. The weather, with its warm embrace and occasional showers, sets the perfect backdrop for a weekend of indoor adventures and cultural experiences.

Available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, this tour offers a unique opportunity to delve into the island’s spiritual essence.

The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a highlight of the tour, is a haven of tranquility amidst the bustling city. Here, more than 700 monkeys roam freely, offering a glimpse into the harmonious coexistence of nature and culture. As you wander through the lush greenery, the rain adds a mystical touch to the ancient temples nestled within the forest. A recent review from February 2024 captures the essence of this experience:

“Best way to spend limited time in Bali - Putu was the best! We had very limited time in Bali so wanted to make the most of it. Stopped at the rice terrace, tirta empul, coffee and tea tasting, tirta gangga and lempuyang temple. We saw everything we wanted to and more and putu was very reliable with his recommendations. Would recommend Putu to anyone coming to Bali.” (Reviewed at: 2024-02-13)

A recent review from October 2024 highlights the exceptional service:

“iPhone lost and found! - Putu was my driver for two days. On the first day I lost my iPhone and didn’t realize it until we were 30 min away from the Temple we had just visited. When we got to the hotel I was able to locate using Find My on iCloud. He drove me back an hour each way, but I found my phone on a bench right where I left it! He speaks English well and he did a great job on my private tour. Ask for Putu!” (Reviewed at: 2024-10-17)
