Overview

This is not your typical hike — it’s a demanding jungle trekking adventure for those who truly want to experience the wild side of Bali.

Deep in the rainforest on the slopes of Mount Batukaru, you’ll venture far beyond established paths into dense, untouched terrain where nature sets the pace.
Guided by an experienced local ranger, you’ll navigate steep, narrow trails, thick vegetation, and sections where the path must first be cleared. This trek requires good physical condition and a true sense of adventure—but it rewards you with access to places few travelers will ever reach.
Hidden deep within the jungle, you’ll discover sacred temples, ancient forest landscapes, and breathtaking natural wonders—including towering moss-covered rock walls where water flows like a shimmering curtain through the green.

An intense and deeply rewarding experience for true explorers — raw, challenging, and unlike anything most visitors will ever see.

What to expect

  1. Sanur Beach
    1h 30m
    Morning Pick-Up
    Your adventure begins early in the morning as your personal guide picks you up from your hotel. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through lush tropical landscapes and green rice terraces. As you ascend into the highlands near Mount Batukaru, the air becomes cooler, and the morning mist drifts across the valleys — a hint of the wild beauty that awaits. Stop anytime for photos or simply to take in the peaceful mountain atmosphere before reaching the remote village area of Wongaya.
  2. 20m · Admission ticket included
    Arrival in the mountain village
    Welcome to the quiet mountain village, nestled on the slopes of Mount Batukaru. Stretch your legs and take a short warm-up walk through the rural countryside, past rice paddies and coconut palms. Your guide introduces you to the Subak system—Bali’s traditional irrigation network and part of UNESCO’s World Heritage. It’s a calm start before the adventure begins—so keep some energy for what’s to come!
  3. 20m
    Start your jungle adventure
    Arrive at the village, the local activity base where your jungle trek begins. After a short safety briefing, grab your bamboo walking stick—and maybe take a deep breath—because from here, the real adventure starts. Together with your local ranger and guide, you’ll leave the village paths behind and enter the dense, tropical rainforest that surrounds Mount Batukaru.
  4. 30m
    Important information
    From this point onwards, you will be leaving the beaten track. There are no markings or waypoints in the jungle, but you can fully rely on your ranger and guide, who know the way exactly. For this reason, Balai Belajar in Belulang will be the last waypoint until you return to Warung Balikaru.

    Into the Wild—True Jungle Trekking
    Now you enter the rainforest proper: narrow trails, hanging vines, and a ceiling of green. Your ranger knows every turn and will clear the way when the forest gets too dense. You’ll cross small rivers, climb gentle slopes, and sometimes duck under vines and branches. In return, you’ll experience raw, untouched nature—an authentic jungle atmosphere that only a few visitors ever get to see.
  5. 30m
    Rest Stop in the Rainforest
    The climb can be challenging, but the rewards are worth it. In a small forest clearing, your guide invites you to take a well-deserved rest. An old bamboo shelter offers shade, and your ranger prepares Balinese snacks and tropical fruits—a perfect jungle picnic. As you relax, listen to the chorus of the rainforest: birds, cicadas, and distant monkey calls echoing through the trees.
  6. 30m
    Hidden Beji Temple & Sacred Springs
    The most magical part of the trek awaits. Deep in the jungle, beside a crystal-clear river, lies a hidden Beji — a sacred water temple known only to locals. Before entering, your guide presents small offerings to honor the spirits of the forest. The scene is enchanting: cool spring water cascades over mossy rocks, sunlight filters through the canopy, and the air feels pure and ancient. You’re welcome to take a refreshing dip in the clear waters—a moment of peace and connection with Bali’s living nature.
  7. 50m
    Back to the Village
    The last stretch of your trek winds through dense jungle vegetation—narrow paths, hanging vines, and mossy stones underfoot. It’s a demanding but rewarding finale that keeps you fully immersed in the wild. When you finally reach the river and springs near Belulang village, take a short rest—the hardest part is done!”
  8. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Lunch & Relaxation at Warung
    Back at the village, it’s time to celebrate your adventure with a delicious Balinese lunch. The small Warung restaurant offers a peaceful garden setting and traditional dishes like Nasi Campur Tumpeng—beautifully presented on banana leaves. Take your time to rest, enjoy a refreshing drink, and soak up the tranquil village atmosphere.
  9. Belulang Hot Spring
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Visit the village farm & hot spring
    After lunch, explore the village farm. Meet the farmer, and learn about tropical plants, herbs, and the fascinating Trigona stingless bees that produce a rare, healthy honey. If you like, try your hand at rice planting! Afterwards, enjoy a gentle village walk through the fields and along traditional houses—a glimpse into daily life in this remote mountain community.
    Before heading back, make a short stop at the nearby Belulang Hot Springs. Locals come here to bathe in the natural sulfur water believed to promote well-being.
  10. Pengempu Waterfall
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Scenic Stop at hidden waterfall
    Then, a final scenic stop awaits: the beautiful Pengempu Waterfall, hidden in lush greenery. It’s the perfect ending to an adventurous day—peaceful, refreshing, and a moment to reflect on the day’s experiences.
  11. Sanur Beach
    1h 30m
    Return to Your Hotel
    After this full day of discovery, your driver takes you back to your hotel or villa. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride—you’ve earned it! You’ll return around 5:00 PM, carrying memories of a truly authentic jungle adventure that few travelers ever experience.
