What To Expect
Tirta Empul Temple
At Tirta Empul Temple, your guide will introduce you to the sacred purification ritual that Balinese Hindus have practiced for centuries. After receiving a sarong and sash, you’ll be guided to the holy springs where locals come to cleanse body and soul. Your guide will explain the meaning of each water spout, show you how to make a simple offering, and lead you step by step through the ritual of prayer and purification. You will then immerse yourself in the crystal-clear spring water, moving from spout to spout in a mindful and spiritual process. This experience offers not only cultural insight but also a personal moment of reflection and renewal.

5.00Our guide Koman (ubuddailytrips) was absolutely brilliant he messaged us half an hour before to confirm he was on his way. He bought us a sarong to wear to enter. He explained the correct way to do the purification and what the different spouts meant, his knowledge of the local traditions was excellent and we feel we really benefitted from having him with us, so we could have the best experience. The temple and facilities were great and it was not too busy when we went (4.30pm). WE did the temple tour afterwards and Koman took lots of really good pictures, that were natural. I would recommend a visit here if you have an interest in the cultures of Bali.
Wonderful

5.00I had such a beautiful experience at Tirta Empul, thanks to my guide Koman. He explained the meaning behind the purification ritual so clearly which helped me really connect with it. He was patient, kind, and made me feel comfortable the whole way through. I especially appreciated how he guided me step by step through the water ceremony so I could be fully present without worrying about “getting it right.” It was a spiritual and cultural experience I’ll always remember. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali 🙏✨
