MUST VISIT
Kanto Lampo Waterfall
Located a 45-minute drive from Alila Ubud, Kanto Lampo Waterfall is a beautiful hidden waterfall that not many people know about. In this secret spot surrounded by the forest, crystal clear water cascades across gently sloping stone steps. A peaceful place to enjoy a refreshing dip and immerse in nature.
Gunung Kawi Sebatu
A 35-minute drive from Alila Ubud will bring you to the 11th-century Gunung Kawi Sebatu temple, dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu God of Water. Built on a natural spring, this water temple has been used for centuries for purification rituals, and is still actively used to this day. Not many tourists know about this gorgeous temple, which is not to be confused with the other famous Gunung Kawi temple. Put this secluded site on your itinerary if you’d like to explore an ancient Balinese temple in tranquility without the crowds.
MUST EXPERIENCE
Melukat Blessing
Visit the beautiful Brahmin compound of the Balinese high priest ‘Pedanda’ in the serenity of Ubud, where you can witness him perform the ritual of ‘Puja Mantra’ and experience a Balinese blessing called ‘Melukat’. The ritual is believed to clear the mind and cleanse the devotee’s body and soul from both self-inflicted impurities and negative influences from external sources.
