Very memorable experience in Balikaru

5.00I really recommend this trip to people who are spiritually oriented and love nature. Balikaru center is beautiful with delicious food and charming hosts. They give cooking classes as well, would br great group activity, and it's possible to spend a night there as well. You get to walk in nature, and experience very memorable and heart-touching purification and blessing ceremony in the middle of tropical forest and natural spring. I learned a lot about hindu religion as well as plants growing in the area. We went to see rice field and waterfall as well, so you could take your swim-gear with you. Lastly we went to coffee and herbal tea tasting which was situated in a very lovely place. You might want to bring some extra money with you, because they are selling really tasty and special locally produced coffees and herbals, including avocado coffee and lemon grass tea. I took a trip as solo female traveller and felt very secure and comfortable all the time. Our driver was very good, so felt safe through the whole trip.
