Hi Bobby, Thanks for the info. I just realised that the tickets info was for locals only. I have updated the article. I know this temple but had no time to explore, but if i come down there, may i join the holy bath there?
Is it only for local or anyone can join for a cleanse. I really wanted to know about this holy bath before i proceed or travel in Bali again. By the way, you describe it, I think it must be one of the most underrated temples in Bali, am I right? Hi Emrah. So happy to hear you like the site. You should definitely visit Tirta Empul.
I read it online that they open either at 7 or 8 am, but some people that do the Melukat, some of them come earlier, like at 6 am. Planning on visiting this beautiful temple in May. My itinerary is jammed pack and the only time I can visit this temple will be in the afternoon like at 12pm.
I keep seeing that the best time to visit is early morning so now Im worried I wont have enough time and the place will be super crowded. Is hours enough time to see the temple? Hi, im going to bali next week and tirta empul is on my itinerary in the morning. I just wonder is it necessary to get a guide to do the cleansing bath or i can just perform it myself? Because most of the website says its better to get a guide.
Im travelling by my own and i didnt book any tour as well. Is the ritual very complicated? Hi Vel, please arrive in the morning as early as 6 am maybe. So arrive early is better. Hope you have a great time in Bali. The most magical place I been!! Also since I was there my life completely changed!! I truly believe that purification ritual was magical and powerful also helping us to open so mane gates!!!
