DAILY TOUR: BALI VILLAGE TOUR & TANAH LOT TEMPLE

At 08.00 a.m we pick you up at your hotel and start our trip to Tunjuk Village in Tabanan regency. Upon arrival you will be welcomed with open arms with warm smiles from the locals you meet on the way. You will gather in the outer courtyard of the village temple and meet your local guides.

Throughout the walk you will meet people from the village involved in tasks that occupy them day in and day out. You can choose to observe or actually participate to get an even better understanding of village life. The powerful water buffalo is still used to pull the plow through the muddy paddies to prepare the earth for planting. Or perhaps you wish to help with the planting or harvesting, depending upon the time of year.

When you complete the paddy tour, you will follow your guide on a path through lush gardens where villagers are engaged in everyday tasks. There are women pounding rice with heavy mallets to remove the hulls. Another group is making offerings, and one woman bakes lak-lak, the delicious Balinese sweet cakes drizzled with palm sugar syrup.

You will also learn about the exotic herbs and spices used in ceremonial and everyday Balinese dishes and are encouraged to actively help prepare the Food that will then be enjoyed. After lunch we leave Tunjuk Village and continue our trip to visit Tanah Lot Temple.

Tanah Lot is built on a rock formation and has been part of Balinese mythology for centuries. It owns a magnificent view in particular at the sunset time where the sun slows down to the earth stomach. We’ll close the visit by watching the sunset at the most famous and photographed temple in Bali. Torn from the earth on a stone pedestal sculpted by the incoming tides, the solitary black towers of Tanah Lot and the plumes of foliage spilling over the precipices, recall the delicacy of Chinese painting. The Pura Tanah Lot or the Earth Temple in the middle of the sea was built in the 16th century.

At the end of the day, you’ll be transferred to your hotel.
