Product Info

Begin your day with a hotel pickup and transfer to Kaura Bali. Dust off your hiking gear and awaken your adventurous spirit as you explore the hidden trails of the Manggis area. Embark on a challenging but rewarding walk to Jagasatru Waterfall and the top of the mountain range where Kaura sits.

Start your hike from the doorstep of Kaura, immediately venturing into small trails that weave through the gardens and yards of welcoming village residents. Guided by a local who knows the route like the back of their hand, this 3.5-hour walk will get your heart rate up quickly. After the first 40 minutes, the trail levels out slightly as you work your way across the gully.

Before descending to Jagasatru Waterfall, stop at the top of the hill for a snack, fruit, and water refill. Learn about the big statue of Brahma located here, one of the three Hindu Gods representing the balance of the island.

Reach the stunning Jagasatru Waterfall, where a pool formed at its base offers a great spot to cool off. With natural waters flowing down, there is a pool for people to do a water blessing just below this waterfall. Take a dip in the fresh, cold pool at the foot of the falls.

Continue your journey through the jungle to reach the third stopping point, where locals create Arak, a local alcoholic drink made from palm trees. Established in 1972 and now run by the third generation, witness the traditional distillation process using bamboo and a firewood-fueled stove. Be cautious, as the first-class Arak is said to contain 50% alcohol.

Finally, meet your driver at an abandoned villa, once the most prestigious in the area, for your return to the hotel. Unwind by the pool or lounge in the tranquil surroundings before beginning your chosen a cultural activity:

  • Village Walk: Explore Manggis village with a local guide, visit restored irrigation canals, and learn about organic farming initiatives.
  • VCO Workshop: Discover the traditional process of Virgin Coconut Oil extraction and its role in sustainable living.
  • Farming Experience: Engage with local agricultural practices, from rice fields to goat herding and greenhouse visits.
