The Balinese believe that the water from these holy springs possesses healing properties, offering benefits that are both physical and spiritual. During the ritual, participants immerse themselves in the water, which is thought to purify negative energy, bring emotional relief, and promote overall well-being.

As one of the most famous cultural activities among the Balinese, the Melukat ritual is not just about physical cleansing; it is also a powerful way to rejuvenate your mind and heart. Participants often find relief from negative thoughts, emotions, and energies that may be holding them back.

Beyond emotional purification, the Melukat ritual is believed to help remove the effects of black magic and negative influences. If you’ve been facing misfortune, bad luck, or unexplained challenges in your life, this ritual might provide the transformative experience you seek. By cleansing away these negative energies, you can look forward to experiencing a positive shift in your life and a return to good fortune.

Itinerary

Purification Ceremony at Taman Beji Waterfall

Upon arrival at Taman Beji Waterfall, you will change into a sarong and receive a basket of offerings, typically consisting of coconuts, flowers, incense, and biscuits.

The journey begins with a visit to an open area filled with shrines, where you place a handful of offerings. Shoes must be removed before walking along a rocky path to the base of the waterfall. The path features carved rocks, moss, lichen, and echoes of rushing water as you approach the cave entrance.

Before entering the cave, additional offerings are placed at another shrine. The cave itself is lush with hanging vines and plants along the rock walls, creating a wet, humid, yet ethereal atmosphere.

Stage 1: Penglukatan Tamba Sunia (Tamba Sunia Purification)

“Holy water to cure all diseases, bless descendants, bring harmony to relationships, and promote family unity.”

Inside the cave, you will reach the hidden canyon fountain. After placing your final offerings, you stand under the waterfall, then proceed to the holy spring to drink and pray. The secluded nature of this area encourages personal reflection and detachment from the outside world.

Stage 2: Bulakan Rambut Sedana (Spring Water of Rambut Sedana)

“Holy water to seek fortune in life and enhance business, trade, and career prosperity.”

Here, you sit while holy water is poured over your head. Bathing in the spring water symbolizes cleansing, both physically and spiritually, offering a sense of renewal.

Stage 3: Twin Waterfalls of Goddess Gangga

The twin waterfalls offer two unique experiences:

  • The first waterfall is for releasing negative energy, emotions, and mental burdens through crying or shouting.
  • The second waterfall invites positive energy through laughter, singing, dancing, and joyful expression.

Stage 4: Worship of Queen Niang Sakti & Ida Betara Lingsir

“Holy water to ask for blessings: health, fortune, happiness, and all goodness.”

After the waterfalls, you climb carved steps to enter a calm pool. Caution is advised as the rocks may be slippery. Bathing in this pool, alongside koi fish, further refines the purification process.

Stage 5: Coconut Purification by the Priest

The final stage involves cleansing with young yellow coconut water. Under the priest’s guidance, the water is sprinkled on your head, drunk, and then used to wash your face.

This ritual, performed in three stages at each holy spring, symbolizes purity and renewal. A final prayer follows, along with placing rice on the forehead, flowers behind the ears, and white, black, and red cotton thread bracelets worn for protection.

The activity was very well organized and the guide was great! He prioritizes his clients satisfaction and is always ready for any changes or adjustments. My husband really liked the ritual at Beji Waterfall Park, but unfortunately when I arrived it was raining heavily, I recommend not coming during Hindu holidays, 🙂

At first I was a little doubtful... it turned out to be very professional, starting from sending confirmation to explaining the ritual, thank you admin, the verification process was very friendly and organized.

What a wonderful experience. We did the private 7am tour to avoid the crowds. Highly recommend it. Baju our guide (and photographer) was friendly and very insightful. A must for anyone visiting this part of Bali

My experience here was absolutely stunning. My husband and I went together. We felt closer and more at peace of mind after our ritual. We definitely recommend while you are in Bali!

I saw in various media about this very viral purification place. However, after seeing the prices at several well-known package providers, I found that the prices had been marked up significantly. Our driver, Agus, explained that they take a commission of up to 40%. The actual price is only 300k per person, which feels very inappropriate. I am grateful to have found this official website with the original price. Thank you also, Mr. Nyoman, for sending me a confirmation letter after I placed my order. I feel fortunate. I highly recommend purchasing this package.

Gede was an amazing guide throughout this tour. Me and my wife loved everything about this experience, we felt vibrant after diving into the purification at beji waterfall. thanks all team 🙂

I am thrilled to have participated in this cleansing ritual. I initially booked it on this website for March 20, 2025, but due to heavy rain, I rescheduled it to the 21st. I wasn't sure if it would be possible, but the friendly staff handled everything smoothly. We wanted to share some photos, but unfortunately, we couldn't attach them to this review. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this experience, and the staff were very welcoming and supportive!

De activiteit was heel leuk. Mijn man heeft nog extra een terugkeer naar vorig leven gedaan en heeft veel gezien. We waren al ruim voor 9 uur bij de waterval en waren de eersten die het gehele ritueel ondergingen. Het was heel fijn om alleen te zijn, ook voor de foto’s. Later stonden mensen echt in de rij. Alles is goed geregeld met kleedruimtes en lockers, etc.

L’activité était extraordinaire. Nous avons été purifié dans la vraie tradition balinaise avec les locaux. Les guides et encadrants ont tous été gentils et accueillant. Ils nous ont partagé leur traditions, connaissances et culture du pays. Le parcours de purification est magnifique en plein milieu de la nature avec les cascades. De merveilleux souvenirs et une âme purifiée. Je recommande à 100%.

Unique memorable experience. The purification experience took about 1 and a half hours so allow enough time to do it properly. You can’t just visit the waterfall it has to be part of the experience which is around 300,000 IDR or $20 per person. Our guide was great and took some brilliant videos and photos

This temple is one of the most magical holy places and experiences I have ever had. Sudi, our guide, was profoundly kind, caring, and smart. Also probably one of the best photographers in all of Bali. Come and be respectful. Please engage and honour the culture here❤️

Sergio Corola

It was a very spiritualistic experience especially if you are into mindfulness, holistic and spirituality. The overall place is beautiful!! And the guide is excellent walking through the whole experience & explaining each section and god stories. My guide Kadek Adi is super helpful and mindful during the experience & rest assured he has amazing photo & videos skills as well! Although it can be packed and seems rushed if there are many groups, try to come on the weekdays and in the morning to avoid crowds. Remarkable experience and definitely will return for the full package. Well recommended!

Chanel Smith

This experience was life changing. Everyone was very nice and provided wonderful details about the. culture. I had a beautiful palm reading and aura opening session with Nita. I have never had either done before and feel so much better after. She has a beautiful spirit and truly got down to the essence of me. I appreciate all the advice she gave me and will absolutely recon her. I will definitely be back to see her again! 10 out of 5 stars!

Far from a tourist experience, this tour is immerse into a spiritual experience for those who choose to connect. Diah was a beautiful guide and we received many blessings from those who cared for us during this ceremonial purification. We are grateful for the experience, and thank you to the website admin who has guided us from the ordering process to confirmation, thanks a lot

Jessica Strait
On October 5, 2024

People forget that “tourist spots” BECOME tourist spots for a reason! The waterfalls, caves, and carvings here are absolutely beautiful. My guide Diah explained every prayer spot and god manifestation to me in detail. She answered all my questions and took the most amazing photos! I found the purification experience to be 100% worth the money. Towels, sarongs, and lockers are provided. You can wear swimwear or underwear under the sarong, but be sure to bring dry clothes. I came around 9:30 AM and it was not yet too crowded.

Diego Arreola

This place is amazing it feels personal you have your own guide who takes you through the waterfalls and blessings. Our guide was fantastic his English was not great but his photography and videos were outstanding. It captured every moment for us. You just have to be careful on some steps as they are slippery.

This was such an amazing experience!! We want to thank Rah De for guiding us through the purification ritual. You get an amazing sense of peace on each step of the way. Thank you!!

A Heartfelt Recommendation for Our Amazing Driver and Friend, Gede If you are looking for more than just a taxi driver in Bali—someone who will not only take you from A to B but also open the doors to the island's rich culture, spirituality, and hidden gems—then look no further than Gede. From the very first ride, we felt that he was not just a driver but more like a spiritual guide, answering all our questions about Hinduism, Balinese traditions, and the local way of life with such depth and wisdom that it was truly eye-opening. Gede curated an unforgettable journey for us. Thanks to him, we discovered stunning, hidden waterfalls deep in the jungle, explored the breathtaking Jatiluwih rice terraces, and enjoyed the best local food at places we would have never found on our own. His recommendations were always spot-on, making our Bali experience far more authentic and special than we could have imagined. What truly sets Gede apart is his kindness, sincerity, and genuine interest in people. We first met him when he drove us to the Taman Beji waterfall, and right away, his warm and honest nature made us feel completely comfortable. He wasn’t just providing a service—he truly cared about us, and that’s why we decided to book him for our entire island tour. Throughout our month in Bali, he ensured that we were always safe, happy, and experiencing the very best the island had to offer. On top of that, he was always incredibly punctual and reliable, which made planning our days so easy and stress-free. No matter how early we started or how long the trip was, he was always there on time with a big smile, ready to go. Another small but thoughtful detail was that he always had a bottle of water for each of us in the car, ensuring we stayed refreshed during our adventures—a simple gesture that showed how much he truly cared. Over time, Gede became a friend. His heart is full of warmth, and he radiates positivity in a way that makes every journey feel special. We feel truly blessed to have met him, and we can't wait to see him again on our next trip to Bali. If you ever have the chance to travel with him, do not hesitate—you will be in the best hands possible. Highly, highly recommended.

Highly recommended for healing or melukat. The staff is very helpful, and the food at the restaurant is affordable. We will definitely come back again. The refreshing waterfall is a great addition.

A very beautiful place for purification, neatly arranged, the cost of purification is 300k, canang, cloth, locker are provided, and there are free drinks (coffee, tea or herbal medicine) and accompanied by a local guide who will explain the procedure for purification. But it is better to come on weekdays.

My guide Rah Adi was so sweet and guided me through the whole ceremony.
He took such great photos and videos of me as well 🌟

Es war eine sehr schöne Erfahrung. Der Tanzlehrer Brojes ist eine wandelnde Enzyklopädie. Er weiss sehr viel über die balinesische Kultur (inkl. verschiedene Künste wie Musikinstrumente, Religion etc.) und man kann so viel von ihm Lernen über den Tanz hinaus, wenn man möchte. Er ist ein sehr talentierter und geduldiger Tanzlehrer und nimmt sich Zeit, einem die nicht ganz einfachen Bewegungen gut beizubringen. Es macht sehr viel Spass, Neues bei/von ihm zu lernen. Ich bin sehr dankbar über die Erfahrung und kann es wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

If you coming to Bali please visit this temple, the feeling after is mesmerizing. Everyone is very friendly, I had Dayu as a Gid and she took wonderful pictures during the entire visit, videos as well, and the knowledge provided professionally. Very happy to visit this magical place!

There are some misleading opinions here, which I want to clarify. The current cost for Purification ritual is 300k - it is complete price, they don't charge you for anything else (includes guide - good english + explainig everything, sarong, towel, changing room, locker, offerings, pictures and videos and the ritual itself. They don't even ask for donations or tips). The whole experience took me around 1,5h, but I don't care about pictures, so if you need some for Instagram, then you may need more time. I came here at 9:00, because Google says that it is opening hour. Actually there already were people inside, so it probably opens earlier. In the morning it wasn't crowded, but there were few people. I waited in queues no longer than 10 minutes total during the whole experience. The only animals here were fishes in one of the ponds (I read comment about owls in cages - haven't spotted any, at least not during purification ritual).

It was a cultural experience for me and my wife. We traveled for Singapore and it was our first time in Bali. We googled and found that the self cleansing ritual is popular in Balinese culture and we wanted to do it. Our guide, Adi Ketut was friendly and an amazing photographer. He explained in detail what each ritual is for and it all last about 45-60mins. We wish him all the best!

What an amazing experience! After coming to Bali for so many years, I can't believe it took me so long to go for a purification ritual, but I believe that the universe was guiding me to come to this magical place for my first time. Diah was amazing, patient and got some incredible videos and pictures for us. I would've marked 5 stars but the owls chained at the end was sad to see (however I do understand about Balinese superstituions). Would recommend!

Putra Nyoman was really wonderful and flexible with us. We chose to do the entire experience and he was very kind, genuine and safe and not pushy. Driving was very safe and the vehicle was very comfy and air conditioned with a bottle of water. We LOVED the purification ceremony at the Beji Griya Waterfall, our guide was also very patient, educational and took great pictures and videos. Highly recommend this experience.
