Tirta Empul temple


Melukat: Purifying Our Mind, Body & Soul
Melukat is derived from Sulukat. “Su” means good, and “lukat” means purification,“Melukat” means to cleanse or to purify. Melukat is a unique religious ritual and a holy sacrifice dedicated by a human being to cleanse and purify the human body and soul from havoc, bad luck, and illness. The ritual usually holds on a good day in a Balinese Calendar. Melukat Ritual is also known as a “spiritual maintenance”. It is done by taking a bath in a natural water source like rivers, waterfalls or the sea with a blessing of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (God Almighty) and with prayer by a priest.

The ceremony is carried out on a good day and it is a tradition, which have been done by Hindus in Bali generation to generation until now.Purifying spiritually means a process to remove bad influences or “klesa” in human.
Klesa means dirty. There are five klesa, they are “Awidya”, soul darkness because they perceive themselves as smart, rich, young, strong, noble, beautiful, or handsome. “Asmita” is egoist and the body only stress on releasing desire. “Dwesa” is hatred and revenge. “Abhiniwesa” is fear.

One of the most popular sites where Balinese people as well as visitors go to partake in melukat is Tirta Empul Temple in Tampaksiring. A large rectangular pool is fed by holy spring water that flows from of a series of 12 stone fountains. Worshippers first make an offering at the temple, and then climb into the main pool to bathe and pray. Many people collect the holy water in bottles to take home and use in their own family temple.

Mount Agung

Let's just take a breath regarding Agung.

I've read a few mainstream media items coming out of Australia this morning that are SO misleading, untrue and stand to create fear that is unwarranted. (As do some social media posts)

THE FACTS...

° The ONLY people that need fear of Agung are those WITHIN the 4klm exclusion zone. THAT'S IT. Everyone else is 💯% fine, so just sit back, enjoy mother nature.

°The warning level remains at 3 of a possible 4... IF something was afoot that required the level to be raised it would be... THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING TO WARRANT A RAISE. Therefore there is NOTHING to worry about. I trust the Government in its assessments totally.

° Since Agung awoke in September 2017, some 580+ days have past. The airport has been affected for LESS than 4 of those days (0.68%). That means 99.3% of the days have been FACTUALLY worry free. Millions of people have come, enjoyed Bali's wonders and returned home safely.

° Ash falls.... I'm sure everyone has seen photos of historical eruption events around the world, houses, streets, cars, people covered by many inches or even feet in ash. This hasn't happened with Agung.....NOT once since September 2017 has ANY Agung eruption created any fallout that would be deemed health or life threatening OUTSIDE the exclusion zone.
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent by people buying masks and NEVER used.

° The ONLY people affected FACTUALLY by Agung are those that live or make their living WITHIN the 4klm zone. The impact on their lives is immense. EVERYONE else should get on with their holidays as Agung has mathematically less than 1% chance of affecting anyone else. Don't dramatise things that aren't reality. Enjoy life.

° Predictions..... Yes, every now and then I will say ' Get your camera's ready. This is when, from what I read into available data, there is good probability of eruption. Generally I give a +/- 48 hour window and hit the mark. I have been out as far as 3 extra days which happened last month. Nobody can predict with 💯 percent certainty. Not possible. Short term and more so long term predictions are at the mercy of mother nature who continually changes her mind and walks off in a different direction. I do my best to inform you all of possibilities... don't shoot the messenger 😉

° Summary....
Agung is a volcano.
Volcanoes erupt.
Eruptions are events of awe.
Be EXCITED about the prospect of being lucky enough to witness what most of humanity will never see.
Agung is not to be feared. It is to be respected and those that venture within 4klms knowingly may soon feel Agungs wrath. I hope the government outlaws entering the zone soon. I pray deaths are not the catalyst for such measures.

EVERYONE else, get away from focusing on what Agung is doing (or not doing) and start living a stress-free holiday .... FREE YOUR MIND OF THE 'WHAT IF'S'.

Charity for our community who life in bali

We do not only think about business but we are also  thinking about the people of Bali as this Island exists because of our communities. Almost everyday, year after year, as we have been conducting tours around the countryside, we have come to realize just how many people still need help. Their hard lives have not been blessed by the prosperity of tourism.
 We are part of Bali's tourist industry so we try to assist these forgotten communities but it is difficult with so little resources.
Please help assist these people through making a booking for a day trip to visit the parts of Bali that so few tourists visit. By doing this you are helping them.
Thank you.

Balinese New Year Or Nyepi Day

New Year’s Day in the West might mean a hangover, a walk and a pub lunch. In Bali, New Year is welcomed in a very different manner – with a day of silence.

The largely Hindu Indonesian island celebrates Nyepi – Silent Day – by completely shutting down for 24 hours, shops are closing early,No internet  ATMs aren’t working and streets are being closed. From 6am tomorrow (7 March) until 6am on Thursday (the date changes annually following the lunar calendar), no one will leave their home. Religious rules state there should be no traffic, no fire, no work and no pleasure. Streets are eerily empty, shops and restaurants remain closed, the beaches are shut, use of electricity is kept to a minimum, there’s no transport – even the airport closes – and the pecalang community police go on patrol, ensuring compliance and reprimanding anyone who steps outside their premises.

“It’s a day for contemplation, to meditate, to fast, to go inside yourself and reflect on the past year,People stay quietly with their families, it’s a very special day.”
New Year rituals start three days before Nyepi, with Melasti purification ceremonies on beaches. Every village makes a pilgrimage to the coast, taking sacred temple objects for cleansing and blessings,Festivities continue for two days after Nyepi too, with visits to friends and family to ask for forgiveness and temple ceremonies.

If you’re visiting Bali at the time of Nyepi, hotel restaurants and other facilities are usually open – often with a more basic menu – but you won’t be able to leave your accommodation and no one can check-in. If you’re in a private villa you’ll be expected to keep the noise down and lights off, even if you choose not to observe total silence.

The Balinese have countless festivals and ceremonies year-round, but Nyepi is a particularly interesting time to visit – a new year unlike any other.

Greetings from the island of the Gods!



On March 7th 2019 the island will turn dark and quiet in celebration of Nyepi Day. This most important and sacred day in the Hindu religion is part of the 6 days lasting Balinese New Year celebrations. As opposed to most other cultures in the world, where people often flock to the streets to celebrate the arrival of the new year with music, dance and fireworks, in Bali the streets go empty, and the island turns all dark and quiet. That’s why Nyepi Day is also often referred to as Silence Day.

Here are some tips on how to spend Nyepi Day in Bali:


  • Find out where the Ogoh Ogoh parade in your area is. This is an amazing experience on the day before Nyepi, so make sure not to miss it.
  • If you’re arriving the day before Nyepi, book your airport transfer in advance to get to your hotel hassle-free.
  • Many taxi drivers are going home to their village to celebrate Balinese New Year, so don’t travel too far the day before and after Nyepi Day; the roads can get very congested.
  • That’s also why you shouldn’t rely on taxi’s the night before Nyepi. Whether it’s Blue Bird, Gojek, or Uber, many drivers don’t take any rides anymore as they are on the way home for the upcoming celebrations. Getting around in Bali can be quite challenging this day.
  • If you’re staying in a resort, make sure to book your spa treatments early. You’re most likely not the only one looking for some relaxation on this day.
  • If you’re staying in a villa, stock up on food, drinks, and DVDs as you can’t leave your place on Nyepi Day. When watching movies after sunset, do close the curtains, as otherwise the Nyepi police will knock on your door and tell you to switch off the lights / television.
  • Make sure you have enough money for 3 days as ATMs are often empty and money changers are closed. Plus the exchange rate will drop.
Consider yourself lucky if you’re in Bali on Nyepi Day. It truly is a magical day and a wonderful experience. Hopefully, these tips are a useful guide for you on how to spend Nyepi Day in Bali.
