TOUR DESCRIPTION

Dust off those hiking equipment on your shelves and wake that long-buried active and adventurous inner self. Explore the hidden trails of the Manggis area on this challenging, but rewarding walk to Jagasatru Waterfall and on to the top of the range of mountains that Kaura sits on.

The walking starts from the doorsteps of Kaura and takes you immediately into small trails that weave through the gardens and yards of the village residents who are always welcoming and pleased to see you. Guided by the local who knows this route like it is the back of his hand, this 2 hours walk will get your heart rates up quite quickly but after the first 40 minutes, it levels out slightly as we start to work our way across the gully. Our hiking guide are from the community and have a good rapport with the people, making this a warm, engaging experience.

Before going down to the Jagasatru Waterfall, at the top of the hill, our standby team member would be at the ready to recharge you with snacks, fruits, and water refill. Fun fact, this hill is also the place where the big statue of Brahma located in the east side of the island. It is one of the three Gods in Hinduism resembling balance of the island, with Wisnu in GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana) (south) and Shiva in Tabanan (west) to create some sort of triangle of balance in the island. The waterfall is a stunning site and the pool formed at its base is a great spot to cool-off. With the natural waters flowing down, there is a pool for people to do a water blessing just below this waterfall. At the waterfall, there is time for 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. This stop is where the locals create Arak, a local alcohol drinks that came from palm trees. Established since

1972 with now third generation as the current owner, you would see the traditional distillation process using bamboo and firewood-fuelled stove. For the adventurous self, be careful that the first-class Arak said to be containing 50% alcohol. Next, the meeting point with the driver to take you back to the hotel is located at an abandoned villa that once-most- prestigious-villa in the area.
