Jungle Trekking at Mt. Batukaru, scenic Waterfall & village

Morning pick-up by your personal guide at your hotel and drive (1-2 hours) through the picturesque landscape and along lush green rice terraces. With a few photo stops along the way, you'll reach the mountain slopes of Mt. Batukaru, the second highest mountain on Bali.

Before you start the adventurous jungle trek, you visit the holy temple Pura Luhur Batukaru. This is important to “ask” the spirits of the forest for permission to enter their realm.
The nature reserve around Mt. Batukaru offers one of the most beautiful and pristine rainforests in Bali. Equipped with a walking stick, you'll hike through the green jungle with huge ferns and old trees. Crossing small, clear rivers, you always follow the local ranger, who will accompany you in addition to your personal guide. The ranger knows the jungle inside out and can explain to you all the details about the flora and fauna of the rainforest. The chirping of a bird or the call of a monkey - he knows which animal is behind it. And he shows you also some jungle survival techniques - a truly extraordinary nature experience.
The highlight in between is the mystical jungle temple, where you stop for a picnic with freshly brewed coffee and Balinese snacks.

After this active adventure you can enjoy the scenic drive to an idyllic mountain village. A relaxed, short hike takes you along the beautiful rice terraces to Balikaru activity center. On the way, your guide will explain the various tropical plants that either grow wild here or are cultivated by the people of the small mountain village.
And that's not all there is to know - welcome to Balikaru! Stroll through the lush, tropical garden with more than 40 different plants, herbs, and spices. They all have a role in traditional medicine or Balinese cuisine, and your guide can explain it to you in detail. A healthy Jamu drink will serve you. Additionally, you can relax with a 15-minute massage; both together will give you back the energy you need after the hike.

Time for lunch at Warung Balikaru. Warung means "small restaurant" in Indonesia, and this is the perfect place to relax after an exciting and active day of trekking. Find your favorite spot while the "good spirits" of Balikaru prepare your lunch. Enjoy the tasty dish and the wonderful view of the garden.

Say goodbye and go for a walk through the picturesque mountain village. If the sky is clear, you'll have a fantastic view of the volcano Batukaru and two others - a stunning mountain panorama.
You reach the lower village, where you have time to visit Belulang hot springs. It's a sulfur spring with many healing properties, and the sacred spring is often visited by locals to take a soothing bath.

Your driver is waiting, and together with your guide, you drive off the beaten track. You stop at Yeh Ho waterfall, embedded in idyllic nature. Enjoy the moment and take time for a few souvenir photos before you arrive back later at your accommodation in Bali at around 5 pm.
