On this tour, you will get a glimpse into a side of Bali influenced by the Dutch, take part in some local market shopping, relax in hot springs, and visit Bali’s largest Buddhist monastery.

Our first destination is Pura Dalem Jagaraga, a small temple complex that dates back to around the 12th century. The location was witness to the Dutch intervention and the temple carvings here tell the story of Balinese life pre-and post-invasion.

The next stop is Singaraja, the former capital of Bali during Dutch colonial rule. Traces of their occupation remain in some colonial-style buildings. Here we explore the city center and a local traditional market, rich with local wares and produce.

We’ll begin to unwind with a stop at the hot springs of Banjar. Their location, in the middle of a lush tropical forest, provides the perfect backdrop for chilling out while warming up.

Before we return to Siddhartha we have one final stop, Bali’s largest Buddhist monastery. The spiritual spot, in the uplands of Banjar, first opened to visitors in 1970. Spread over a four-hectare plot the complex features flourishing gardens, Buddha statues, places of worship, stupas, and meditation rooms.
