Where sacred springs gather at a forest temple, spirituality here is a living practice. Ceremony meets silence — sacred water, gentle guidance, and time to listen. A place to gather strength as nature and tradition come together — and you can feel at home within.

Batukaru’s highlands remain untamed: narrow footpaths, fern-wet rock, cold mountain rivers, hidden waterfalls, forest mist. We move quietly with local keepers, letting weather and terrain shape the day — for explorers who choose the raw, living Bali, far from the crowds.
