About this experience

This isn’t just a tour — it’s your Travel Story in Bali.

We don’t just take you to beautiful places — we connect you to their meaning. Every stop is handpicked not only for its view, but for the feeling it brings: calm, wonder, and a sense of discovery. From quiet temples beside the lake to jungle waterfalls you can swim in, this is the Bali most travelers don’t see.

Led by locals who were born and raised here, you’ll experience warm hospitality, personal stories, and moments that feel like visiting a friend — not joining a group. Sometimes you’ll meet our family, walk through real villages, or sip coffee where we grew up.

This is a peaceful, all-inclusive journey filled with nature, culture, and connection — a story you’ll remember, and want to share.

Detailed itinerary

1

Experience the peaceful beauty of Jatiluwih, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning rice terraces and traditional Balinese farming system. Surrounded by cool mountain air and wide open views, Jatiluwih offers a calm and spiritual atmosphere far from the busy crowds.

Your guide will walk you through the history of the subak irrigation system — a 1,000-year-old tradition that reflects the Balinese way of life in harmony with nature. This is not just a sightseeing stop — it’s a meaningful pause in your journey to slow down, connect with the land, and take in the stories behind Bali’s living landscape.

Stop 2

Visit one of Bali’s most iconic temples — Ulun Danu Beratan, gracefully floating on the peaceful waters of Lake Beratan. Surrounded by cool mountain air and misty hills, this temple is not only beautiful but deeply spiritual.

Ulun Danu is dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of the lake and water — a vital source of life for the Balinese people. What makes this temple even more unique is its reflection of the ancient Siwa-Budha belief, a harmony between Hindu (Shiva) and Buddhist practices that once shaped Bali’s spiritual path. You’ll see this unity in the temple’s layout, architecture, and rituals — a peaceful blend of two great traditions.

As you stand by the lakeside, you’ll feel a sense of calm that goes beyond just the view. This isn’t just a photo stop — it’s a chance to step into Bali’s timeless spirituality and hear the quiet stories that still echo through the mountains.

3

Step into the calm green world of Hidden Garden — a small, family-run spice and coffee plantation nestled in the countryside. This peaceful stop lets you explore the roots of Balinese agriculture and taste the island’s authentic flavors.

Walk through the garden with a local guide who will introduce you to tropical plants like vanilla, turmeric, cacao, and lemongrass. You’ll learn how traditional herbs and spices are used not just for food, but also for health and ceremonies in Balinese culture.

Enjoy a complimentary tasting of local herbal teas and coffees, including the famous Luwak coffee (optional). Whether you choose to sip or just explore, this is a quiet moment to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the taste of Bali from the land itself.

4

Take in one of North Bali’s most breathtaking views — the Twin Lakes of Buyan and Tamblingan. Perched on a mountain ridge, this peaceful viewpoint offers a panoramic look at two volcanic crater lakes, quietly resting side by side and surrounded by lush rainforest.

More than just a photo spot, the Twin Lakes are part of Bali’s spiritual landscape. Locals believe these lakes hold protective energy, and their untouched beauty reflects the slower, more natural rhythm of North Bali.

Breathe in the cool mountain air, listen to the sounds of the forest, and take a moment to simply be present. It’s a short stop, but one that often stays in your memory — a calm, quiet scene that brings balance to your travel story.

5

Tucked deep in the lush jungle of North Bali, Leke-leke /Campuhan is one of the island’s most stunning and peaceful waterfalls. Unlike more crowded spots, this hidden gem offers a calm, refreshing experience surrounded by nature.

Take a short walk through tropical forest trails and arrive at the panoramic view of twin waterfalls cascading down mossy cliffs into a crystal-clear natural pool. The water is fresh and cool — perfect for a swim or simply relaxing your mind.

Locals believe the energy here is healing. It’s not just about the scenery — it’s the feeling you get when you’re standing in front of it, hearing the sound of the water and breathing in clean mountain air. A true highlight of your journey into North Bali.
