Itinerary
1
Pura Penataran Sasih
Wearing traditional sarongs and sashes, we'll enter one of Bali's oldest temples where our small group will get exclusive access to Southeast Asia's largest bronze kettle drum. Here, we'll learn how local myths and legends intertwine with this powerful artifact, known as the Moon of Pejeng.
20 minutes
2
Pura Pusering Jagat
Our journey continues down the road to one of Bali's six main Kahyangan (directional) temples, believed to be at the island's center. As we explore this sacred temple complex, we'll examine the intricately carved "Pejeng Vessel" and discuss the early spread of Buddhism and Hinduism in Southeast Asia.
20 minutes
3
Kebo Edan Temple
Temple of the Crazy Buffalo: In this small temple, our group will view the imposing 13th-century Bhairawa statue, recovered from nearby rice fields. Together, we'll discuss theories about its unusual origins and potential connection to Balinese Tantric practices.
20 minutes
4
Arca Building Archaeological Museum
For our final stop, we'll step back to pre-Hindu Bali. As a group, we'll explore giant sarcophagi in an open courtyard, gaining fascinating insights into ancient Balinese life and customs.
