So much more that just a hike through the Jungle
On our journey wound through misty ancient pandan forests, vanilla vines, native orchids. We walked along a combination of grassy paths lined with lemon grass and steep rocky tracks. After 2 hours, we reached the summit and where rewarded with breath taking views over looking the Karangasem valley to the ocean and across to mighty Agung Bali’s Sacred volcano. After a morning coffee and some jajan cakes, We dressed in traditional Balinese costume so we could enter the temple where the priest will blessed us with holy water collected from the insides of the bamboo growing in the temple.
Then we walked back down via the 1800 steps! Again blessed with breath-taking views. Stopping for photos at the “Gates of Heaven” before driving back to Bali Asli for a well earned Balinese Megibung lunch, served in the style of the Royal family of Karangasem.
