About this tour
Spend six hours in an Ubud household learning how Balinese families honour their spiritual practices. You'll craft traditional offerings alongside your hosts, witness a fire ceremony, meditate, and undergo a genuine Melukat purification ritual at a local temple using the offerings you've made. This isn't performed for visitors—it's the real rhythm of daily Balinese devotion, shared openly with someone willing to move at its pace.

- Craft authentic offerings with a Balinese family
- Participate in a fire ceremony and group meditation
- Perform Melukat purification ritual at working temple
- Learn the spiritual purpose behind daily practices
- Share a vegan meal prepared by your hosts
- Access to secure locker and all entrance fees included
What to expect
You'll arrive at a family home and begin by preparing offerings—flowers, incense, rice—while learning why each element matters to Balinese spirituality. The pace is unhurried. After the fire ceremony and seated meditation, you'll walk to the family's temple where a priest guides the Melukat cleansing in sacred spring water. You use the offerings you've made yourself. The whole day moves between quiet, contemplative moments and gentle instruction. Expect to sit on the ground, participate fully, and feel the difference between observing ritual and being part of it.
