Located 18km north of Ubud, in Tampaksiring is the site of Bali’s holiest spring.

The spring waters of Tirta Empul are believed to be healing: curing ailments and preventing bad dreams.  The waters will rejuvenate your youth too, such is the apparent powers of this mystical and holy place.

Behind the bathing pools is a temple with a large array of intricately carved and painted temple pavilions.

Inside the Balinese pray and a priest directs the order of prayer with chanting and the ringing of a bell.

Tirta Empul is a pleasant and restful place to view: a spiritual experience where one can reflect, refresh and wander.

Note: For those wanting to bathe, it’s recommended that you hire a guide before arriving as there is a “respectful” process to follow.
