What to expect
Your day starts with a guided walk through Ubud's forest sanctuary, easing you into a meditative headspace before arrival at Tirta Empul temple. There you'll participate in a purification ceremony centred on releasing mental and emotional weight, then take a midday break at a rice terrace where you can order lunch or refreshments (at your own cost). You'll then travel to a massage centre for your hour-long traditional Balinese treatment, which focuses on physical relaxation and a sense of restoration.
Throughout the day you're transported privately, so pacing is unhurried. The massage concludes the experience, leaving you with time to return to your accommodation or continue elsewhere in Ubud.
