A local shaman will guide you through the spiritual significance and lead healing practices. After this core ritual, you'll have lunch at a restaurant with views overlooking the terraced landscape. The day concludes with a walk through Tegallalang Rice Terrace, where you can observe the intricate engineered terracing and surrounding vegetation.

Good to know
This suits people with genuine interest in Balinese spiritual traditions and willing to engage respectfully with sacred practices. However, it's not recommended for those with spinal injuries, cardiovascular conditions, or pregnancy. There are important restrictions: menstruating travellers cannot book, and if menstruation begins after booking, the experience must be rescheduled — this is a strict requirement based on Balinese spiritual protocols. Lunch is not included in the price. The experience involves water immersion and some physical movement through terraced terrain. Infants must sit on an adult's lap during transport. Public transport options exist nearby if you prefer independent travel to/from the starting point.
