About this tour
A 10-hour trek through Mount Batukaru's sacred rainforest in Bali, led by a local ranger who reveals jungle ecology and survival knowledge. The route passes remote forest temples before descending to a mountain village where you'll eat homemade Balinese food, visit a working farm with stingless bees, and soak in natural hot springs near a hidden waterfall. Includes a post-trek massage and shower at the activity centre.

What to expect
Expect moderate to challenging walking over uneven terrain with river crossings and steep sections. Your ranger will point out birds, plants, and animal signs while explaining traditional forest practices and spiritual significance. You'll visit intimate temples where locals still worship, then drop into a village where the family prepares lunch from their own ingredients. The pace is steady rather than rushed—there's a rest and coffee stop midway. After trekking, you'll shower at the centre before the massage. The whole day follows the rhythm of the mountain rather than a strict schedule.
