Vive lo mejor de
Bali con Withlocals

"Wir hatten einen Kochkurs gebucht, bei dem wir in einem ganz privaten Rahmen ein paar wirklich wunderbare Stunden bei Made und ihrer Familie verbrachten. Ein sehr authentisches und herzliches Event, das den Transfer vom Hotel ebenso wie einen gemeinsamen Marktbesuch beinhaltete. Und nicht zuletzt schmeckten die sechs von uns zubereiteten Gerichte wirklich sehr gut!"

"This was truly different to any tour I’ve done before. Getting the chance to not just learn about Balinese culture, but to experience it first hand was truly exceptional and difficult to describe. Komang was absolutely wonderful and guided me through each step of the way, helping me to really connect to myself and the surroundings, something that was both peaceful and deeply energising at the same time. "

"A great opportunity to experience a beautiful nature spot combined with an insight into the spiritual world of Bali! Go with an open heart (and some flip flops) and let the magic happen 🙂"

"My spiritual journey with Komang was truly enlightening. This experience provided clarity on many spiritual questions I had been seeking answers to for a long time. The visit to the ancient temple was deeply moving—it radiated incredible energy, making the entire experience even more special. Komang’s guidance was invaluable, and he introduced me to a simple yet powerful meditation technique. If you’re looking for a meaningful and authentic spiritual gateway, I highly recommend this tour!"

" This tour exceeded all our expectations! My partner and I had an amazing time immersing ourselves in Balinese spirituality and nature. Mangku Komang, our guide welcomed us warmly and led us on a journey that was mindful and beautiful. The day included a walk through the jungle to a breathtaking waterfall. The sounds of nature and the tranquility of the setting made it the perfect place to pause, reflect, and meditate. Great way to escape the crowds and see something more authentic and beautiful. "

"This experience is not your usual tourist destination. It was minding blowing. The ultimate cultural and spiritual journey. No tourists, only locals. You will not regret booking this. The best experience in my three week trip!!!!"

"Komang accompanied me to the Melukat ritual in the Pura Taman Pecampuhan Sala temple. He was kind enough to organise a driver to pick me up from my hotel for a small extra charge. I hadn't quite realised that our excursion consisted solely of the ritual. I had somehow expected that we would also spend time outside the temple, hiking and meditating. This may have been due to the pictures on the Withlokals website, as Komang had actually described to me beforehand exactly what we were going to do. I had my own personal challenges during the ritual. Komang accompanied me in a very personalised and empathetic way. This allowed me to experience the spirituality of Bali at first hand. It was a really very personal experience for me that will stay with me. Back in Germany, I am still wearing the bracelet that Komang untied for me after the ritual. Welcome to Bali, said Komang. Thank you, I say. 🙏"

"We wanted to learn about Balinese culture and religion but after all we learned a lot about ourselves! This tour with Komang (Mangku is his title as a priest) was not only well organised but also a calm, hustle free dive into spirituality. Komang is a very charismatic, highly intelligent and empathetic man and the perfect guide into the Balinese ritual of melukat. The place he chose was stunningly beautiful and not crowded at all. Every person at the temple, especially the high priest, who leads the prayers and gives a blessing afterwards was open to foreigners and very welcoming. This tour is not for instagram-shot hunters but for people who want to be allowed to take a glimpse into this particular part of Balinese live. If you come with an open mind and just go with it, you will be highly rewarded! Nevertheless nobody will give you strange looks if you want to take some pictures there as long as this is not the sole purpose of your visit! Highly recommend!"

"The water temple, prayers, spiritual lessons, opportunity to ask questions, meditation — everything was fantastic. Mangku was an exceptional host, very enlightening and interesting. He led us on a beautiful journey and we rate this one of our favorite experiences of all the things we did in a week in Bali. Highly recommend! "

"The setting of this tour (Pura Taman Pecampuhan Sala) is a beautiful and secluded temple in a waterfall canyon, and the ideal location for learning and experiencing a cleansing ritual. We felt thoroughly cleansed, both physically (from light splashes to full immersion) and emotionally/spiritually. Mengku Komang found his calling as a priest (Mengku) some years ago, after a previous professional career. This gives him unique insight and an ability to communicate the intricacies of Balinese spirituality to a foreigner’s understanding. If he takes you on this journey, you will get a much more personal and immersive journey than is offered by the temple priests or other local guides. It is also worth walking around the rice terraces surrounding the parking lot, where the village residents welcomed us warmly. Thank you, Mengku Komang!"
