  • Celuk Village - Celuk Art Village stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess of the region. While Bali is renowned for its vibrant traditions and crafts, Celuk particularly shines as a hub for exquisite silverwork, capturing the essence of Balinese craftsmanship.

Celuk’s association with silver dates back several centuries, and the village has become synonymous with the meticulous art of silver crafting. The artisans in Celuk have inherited their skills through generations, preserving and evolving their techniques to create timeless pieces of art.

The artisans, often working in small family-owned workshops, intricately mold the precious metal into stunning jewelry, figurines, and intricate ornaments. Each piece is a manifestation of their dedication and skill, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural significance embedded in every design.

The silver pieces tell stories of the island’s history, capturing the spirit of Bali within their shimmering surfaces

  • Tegenungan Waterfall - Nestled in the heart of Bali, Tegenungan Waterfall beckons with its cascading beauty, inviting travelers to witness the mesmerizing synergy of nature. This enchanting waterfall, located in the Gianyar regency, not only captivates with its sheer magnificence but also offers a serene retreat away from the island’s bustling tourist spots.

The pool at the base of Tegenungan invites intrepid souls to take a refreshing dip. The cool waters offer a welcome respite from the tropical heat, making it an ideal spot to unwind and connect with the raw beauty of Bali. Whether you choose to wade into the pool or simply bask in the mist rising from the falls, Tegenungan promises a rejuvenating experience.

  • Tirta Empul Temple - Tirta Empul, meaning “holy water spring” in Balinese, is renowned for its sacred spring, which is believed to have curative properties. The temple complex is centered around a large pond fed by the spring, where devotees and visitors alike partake in a ritual cleansing. The sight of crystal-clear water emerging from the ground adds a mystical aura to the temple, making it a focal point for Balinese Hindu purification ceremonies.

Dating back to 960 AD, Tirta Empul Temple is a stunning example of traditional Balinese architecture. The temple complex comprises a series of courtyards, shrines, and pavilions adorned with intricate carvings and stone sculptures.

The vibrant shades of green create a mesmerizing tapestry, evolving with the seasons as the rice plants sway in the tropical breeze. The terraces are not just a visual feast; they are a living testament to the intricate traditional Subak irrigation system that dates back over a thousand years.

The Subak system, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage practice, showcases Bali’s commitment to sustainable agriculture. Tegallalang’s terraces are a living canvas, where farmers work in harmony with the natural contours of the land, showcasing a profound connection between culture and environment.

10/10 👌🏼 - I cannot recommend wayan highly enough, not just for a day in ubud but for any transport requirements in Bali. Not only did he trek us around Bali and was always around within a moment’s notice, but he was also so knowledgeable and helpful, he doubled as a tour guide really. Also just brought great vibes for every commute. Would definitely recommend for your next stay in Bali!
