Great tour with helpful information - Visiting the Tirta Empul Temple was a wonderful experience made better by my tour guide Koman who walked me and another visitor through the temple and explained to us each of the areas, their meaning / significance, and the proper ways to ask for permission at the beginning, the steps and process for each part of the cleanse, and the history of the area / temple itself. The two hours went by incredibly quickly; and he captured all the key moments in fotos and video!! Thank you Koman!!!

beautiful ritual & excellent guide! - I was the only person signed up for the 8:30 session and felt lucky to have a private tour with Koman as my guide! He explained in detail the significance of each fountain in the purification ceremony, and more importantly, how to do each step respectfully and in accordance with tradition. He will take many photos for you, if you’d like. The entire experience lasted about 1.5 hours; morning time is best to beat crowds. Tirta Empul is a must-see temple near Ubud and I am grateful to Korman for such an enlightening experience. Thanks again! :)

An exciting experience - A wonderful experience, to try with the right mental mood, Putu took care of everything, brought clothes to enter the temple, explained how they pray and how to properly perform the ritual. Highly recommended, for 300000 rupees added pickup from ubud.
