“Discover the Essence of Bali”

The Pakerisan River Valley to the north east of Ubud was listed as a Cultural Heritage Area by UNESCO in 2012. This mystical river valley contains ancient ancestral sites dating back to 8th - 12th centuries. Ancient animist beliefs and influences of Hinduism and Buddhism spread from India to Bali via Javanese kingdoms.
On this journey with Bali Pure Tour, learn about how these ancient belief systems unified.
Also learn about the irrigation system known in Bali as subak, Balinese architecture, 
and Balinese outlook on life called Tri Hita Karana- a philosophy which maintains balance among the natural, physical and spiritual worlds.
