Activities

Our aim is to give you a beautifully unique and unforgettable experience we have many activities in Sudaji.

    1. Waterfall adventure: (5 hours) – Rp. 400.000,-/Person

Your journey begins with a 4km trip through the village meeting the locals and observing a different pace of life. Depending on when we go there are opportunities to see and participate in different aspects of village life ranging from traditional ceremonies to traditional craftsmen in action. Once we reach the starting point of the waterfall there are 385 steps down to the river – from here we cross the river before a short trek directly to the base of the waterfall. You are free to meditate, swim or just enjoy the powered of nature. Actually there are 7 waterfalls that meet in this area after about 30mins we will return back to the village of Sudaji via an alternative route that will reveal rice fields, farmers, trees, animals and an abundant plant life.

    1. Rice Field trek: (3 hours) – Free

The local rice in Sudaji is world famous and regarded by the Balinese as the highest quality of rice in Bali. After a brief walk (15mins) you will meet the local farmers who will explain the rice-cycle and its importance to the Balinese. Depending on the time of year you will either plant or harvest rice we also offer the opportunity for the truly brave to get behind the reins of a cow and plough the muddy fields.

    1. Local Traditional Market trip: (2 hours) – Free

The local market comes alive at 3am but we will visit at approx. 5.30am its an early start but worth it to feel and experience the atmosphere, see traditional crafts & craftsmen at work, purchase goods and products (really inexpensive). We will also select fresh vegetable, fruit and spices for our breakfast ! Upon our return you will participate in the preparation of breakfast and experience real Balinese cooking. This is the best way to experience Balinese life.

    1. Visit to Local Public Baths: (2 hours) – Free

Approx. 15 minutes walk from our Ashram is the local public baths. Experience bathing in a natural river and feel the energy of the water flowing through you. There are male and female “showering” facilities and a beautiful temple for meditation and prayer.

    1. Canang / Traditional Balinese Offering Making (1 hour) – Free

Enjoy an hour-long lesson learning the swift, perfectly precise, and ethereal practice of Canang. Local, warm smiled women arrive with palm tree leaves, flowers, and other materials needed to teach you how to make a traditional Balinese offering. By the end of the hour-long lesson you will come away with a newfound appreciation of this tediously beautiful religious custom.

    1. Palm Sugar Farm (2 hours) – Free

Take a short scooter ride down some narrow roads into the depths of the farming community. After a short hike up a hill you’ll arrive outside a small smoke filled hut. Inside a cheery lady is hard at work stirring a huge simmering pan in the corner.

A fantastic opportunity to experience traditional Balinese culture at its best.
