What to expect
Your driver collects you from the hotel lobby in the early morning, then heads to Batu Bulan to watch the Barong dance—a traditional narrative of spiritual conflict. Afterwards, you'll drive through landscape to Tegenungan Waterfall, where you can observe the cascade framed by jungle vegetation. The tour continues to Tirta Empul temple, where Hindu believers perform ritual cleansing in the spring-fed pools.
