A niche pilgrimage-cum-cultural tour of Bali's great Hindu temples, designed with senior travellers in mind and including vegetarian Indian dinners. Across six nights you visit the island's most sacred sites: Besakih, the Mother Temple on the slopes of Mount Agung; Tirta Empul, where pilgrims undergo holy-water purification; the sea temples of Tanah Lot and clifftop Uluwatu; the lake temple of Ulun Danu Beratan; the bat-cave temple of Goa Lawah; and Pura Lempuyang's famous Gates of Heaven. Bases in Ubud, the Besakih region and Sanur/Nusa Dua keep travel manageable. Honest note: Balinese Hinduism differs in customs from Indian practice (sarongs are required at temples, and some inner areas are for worshippers only), and a few sites involve steps or queues; respectful curiosity makes this a uniquely rewarding spiritual journey. starting at INR 85,000 per person. Covers Ubud 2N, Besakih region 1N, Sanur/Nusa Dua 3N.
