Tabanan Regency

Exploring in & around Tabanan Regency

Tabanan Regency blends two stunning worlds to explore and experience.

In the north, cool mountains rise around Mount Batukaru (Bali’s second-highest peak), wrapped in pristine rainforest. Meanwhile, the south offers fertile plains and rice fields that slope gently toward the coast.

This dramatic contrast—from volcanic peaks and emerald terraces to black-sand beaches—makes Tabanan one of Bali’s most beautiful and fertile regions.

For retreat leaders, this gorgeous region provides the perfect backdrop to connect participants with nature’s transformative power, for a sense of wellbeing.

Alas Kedaton

This small 12-hectare forest, known as Alas Kedaton, feels peaceful and sacred. Hundreds of monkeys roam freely among giant nutmeg trees that tower up to 40 m high.

Visitors are often greeted by curious monkeys, some bold enough to come very close.

High in the canopy, large colonies of bats hang silently until dusk fills the air with their calls.

At the heart of the forest stands Pura Bukit Sari temple, adding spiritual depth to the visit.

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace

Jatiluwih, is renowned for its breathtaking rice terraces that cascade in endless green rice fields from the slopes of Mount Batukaru all the way to the distant coast.

Jatiluwih Rice Terrace

It is one of the places to visit in Bali with the beautiful view as according to its name from Jati and luwih, where Jati means really and Luwih meaning special, good, and beautiful or the equivalent.

Recognized by UNESCO, this breathtaking landscape remains one of Bali’s most iconic and photogenic spots.

Mount Batukaru Trek

Far from the crowded sunrise treks on Mount Agung, climbing Mount Batukaru feels like entering Bali’s wild soul.

This sacred, extinct volcano (2,276 m) stays cool and misty year-round. The trail winds uphill through thick primary rainforest, past moss-covered trees and hidden bird songs.

Mount Batukaru Trek

Expect a challenging 5–7 hour return journey that’s steep and often muddy—good fitness and proper shoes are essential.

Because the mountain and its temple complex are deeply holy, guides only operate when weather, trail conditions, and ceremonies permit.

The result? An intimate, serene, and almost private experience.

Trek & Water Falls

A day trek in Tabanan reveals the quiet, authentic Bali of the past.

Paths meander through glowing rice terraces and misty ridges dotted with small temples. Soon, the route slips into cool rainforest. Suddenly, moss-covered shrines appear around corners, bamboo bridges sway over streams, and sunlight filters through the canopy in golden beams.

Trek & Water Falls

Deeper in the mountain’s embrace, sacred springs and secret waterfalls invite you to pause.

Step into the cool water and let powerful cascades wash away tension.

Most tours include a delicious lunch to complete the perfect day.

Jeep & ATV Adventure

Tabanan’s rugged terrain is made of volcanic soil, rivers, jungles, and rice fields is ideal for adrenaline activities.

Away from southern crowds, you can ride thrilling trails with panoramic views around Jatiluwih and Mount Batukaru.

Jeep & ATV Adventure

ATV tours splash through mud, cross rivers, and stop at plantations or hidden waterfalls.

Jeep trips venture even deeper into bamboo forests and up to stunning viewpoints.

Either way, you’ll experience raw, authentic Bali scenery at full speed.

Afternoon at the Beach

Tabanan’s coastline mixes famous surf spots with secret bays, all framed by dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Highlights include the wide black-sand Soka Beach, the relaxed surf vibe of Balian Beach, and the secluded beauty of Nyanyi Beach with its lush cliffs.

Afternoon at the Beach

No visit is complete without seeing Tanah Lot, the iconic sea temple perched on a rocky outcrop at sunset.

You can add a sunset stop to any tour or enjoy a full beach day with pool access, lunch included.

Balinese Water Purification

Melukat is one of Bali’s most sacred Hindu ceremonies.

Holy spring or river water flows gently over the body and head, releasing negative energy, emotional burdens, and spiritual impurities.

It’s a simple yet profoundly transformative experience.

Balinese Water Purification

We offer two authentic options:

A powerful riverside ceremony in the highlands, led by a local temple priest (best for guests with good mobility who want the full traditional ritual).

For full details on this ceremony, visit: Melukat: Balinese Water Purification

And the 2nd option is a calmer temple-based version with prayers and offerings at your own pace—perfect for quiet reflection.

Bicycle Riding

Tabanan offers Bali’s most enjoyable cycling.

Quiet backroads have almost no traffic and endless views of rice terraces, rivers, and distant volcanoes. You’ll glide past farmers in conical hats, smiling children, and the occasional water buffalo.

Easier routes follow flat riverside paths near Wongaya Gede or enjoy a scenic downhill from Bedugul through clove and coffee plantations to the coast.

Wherever you ride, the roads stay peaceful and the roadside warungs serve fresh young coconuts to keep you refreshed.

Enjoy the real, unhurried Bali in beautiful Tabanan!
