Itinerary

Explore the spiritual heritage and architectural beauty of Tirta Empul Temple in a meaningful and respectful guided tour. Your experience begins with a gentle walk through the temple complex, where your guide will explain the unique structure of a traditional Balinese temple, divided into three main sections: the outer, middle, and inner courtyards. Each area holds its own religious function and symbolism in Balinese Hindu life. As you move through this active place of worship, you will learn about the fascinating history of Tirta Empul, including the sacred spring believed to have been created by the god Indra. Observe how Balinese devotees perform their daily rituals and offerings, adding a deeply authentic atmosphere to your visit. After understanding the temple’s background and purpose, you will be invited to take part in a traditional purification ritual known as melukat. Wearing a sarong and carrying a simple offering, you will be gently guided through a sequence of holy water spouts in the main pool, following each step with intention and mindfulness.
