Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and get a real taste for village life.
Tour of Tirtagangga and East Bali Trekking, with lunch
Start the morning with a guided drive to East Bali to visit Tirtagangga Water Palace, which means "water from the Ganges." It is a site of some reverence for the Hindu Balinese. Tirtagangga is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden, stone carvings, and statues. The one-hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangsem, but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963! It has been lovingly rebuilt and restored and has an air of authentic royal magnificence, with its centerpiece being a stunning eleven-tiered fountain.
The area around Tirta Gangga is noted for its rice paddy terraces. There, you will enjoy a delicious lunch with stunning views at a local restaurant. It is a restaurant promoting Balinese cuisine and culture, and one which works closely with the community, supporting those who fish, farm and forage in the nearby fields, ocean, and jungle. The food is cooked using an authentic Balinese style kitchen, allowing the real flavors of Bali to shine. After lunch, you will be driven to a small village at Kastala. From there, start a 2.5 hour downhill trek to Tenganan Pagringsingan village! Enjoy the views of rice fields and mountains, and pass by local people working on the land.
Continue through rainforest to the Temple of Origin. The community of Tenganan Pagringsingan descends from the pre-Majapahit kingdom in Bali. As an original Balinese village, there are strict rules. Only those born in the village can stay there and become full members of the community. Anyone who marries outside of the village has to leave. Their strict rules also apply to nature, and no one can cut down a tree without approval from the village head and community! Walk around the village while your knowledgeable guide explains the unique traditions of the village. The tour will end with a relaxing drive back to your hotel.
Restaurant: Bali Asli Restaurant (Lunch)

All of these connections lead to the main temple: Pura Penataran Agung, the symbolic center of the sanctuary.
