Experience a traditional Balinese Melukat at Taman Beji Griya: a guided purification ritual at a canyon waterfall near Ubud. This six-hour outing combines ritual, short walks, and private transport, with sarong and priest-led blessings included.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stand at the lip of a narrow canyon and feel the waterfall decide how it will meet you: a steady shower, a thudding drop, a mist that threads through nearby palms. Taman Beji Griya is less a tourist spectacle than a working spiritual site — mossed stone steps, a small temple, and a carved shower hidden in a cave where priests lead Melukat, the Balinese Hindu ritual of cleansing with holy water.

Wear quick-dry clothing
Use a sarong or quick-dry layers and bring a full change of clothes — you’ll be wet during showers and spring dips.
Use water shoes
The pool and canyon have slippery rock; closed-toe water shoes increase traction and protect toes from sharp stones.
Follow priest instructions
Temple protocol is strict: accept the sarong, stay quiet during blessings, and leave offerings in designated spots.
Avoid lotions before bathing
Sunscreen and insect repellent can contaminate holy water; rinse off or avoid applying before the ritual.

Small reusable water bottle
