The Balinese, being one of the most spiritual groups of people in the world, have many sacred ceremonies, one of which is Melukat.
Derived from lukat, which means purify, Melukat aims to cleanse the mind, body and soul.
This ceremony is mostly held after bad things happened to someone, like they got sick, had been in an accident, or simply feel restless.
Melukat is believed to help get rid of the bad energy that might be lingering around that person.
This ceremony usually takes place by a spring, a river, or by the sea, as the Balinese strongly believe that water is the most powerful means with which to restore and purify your energy.
One of the top destinations for a Melukat ceremony is the Tirtha Empul Temple in Tampak Siring, which is located next to the Tampak Siring Palace.
This spring has a number of showers that are named according to the beliefs of the local culture, and is almost always packed by devoted local people who would like to perform Melukat.

The Old Town Singaraja!
Once a central government city, Singaraja used to be the most happening city in Bali. But now, this capital of the Buleleng Regency seems very quiet, as Kuta and Denpasar have taken over its role. Notable as a port town located in Northern Bali, Singaraja is home to age-old colonial-styled houses from the Dutch colonial era where locals now live, as well as historical buildings like a klenteng (a Chinese synagogue) and a library of lontarmanuscripts. To those who fancy a different kind of getaway, this city is a unique destination to explore.

Bizarre foods and drinks you should try in Bali

Here’s a compilation of the most bizarre foods and drinks in Bali, some commonly found as side dishes that accompany meals served daily at local restaurants throughout the island, while others can be a bit rare and harder to find, but which you may stumble upon on your travels to the more rural areas. Most of these strange and weird food are favoured by locals, but visitors - particularly of the adventurous type - may find the unusual tastes to their liking.

1. Lawar Babi – raw pork and blood salad
This is the traditional salad mix that mostly accompanies any kind of rice dish in Bali, be it nasi babi guling or nasi campur. There are two types of lawar, based on the ingredients. Lawar putih (‘white lawar’) is less bizarre and comprises shredded coconut, young jackfruit slices, string beans and spices. Meanwhile, lawar merah (‘red lawar’) has red, raw sliced meat and pig’s blood tossed in. Dare to try the latter? It’s easily found at any warung or local restaurant serving babi guling.

2. Rujak Kuah Pindang – spicy fruit salad in tuna broth
Foreigners are often bewildered at why locals love their sweet-tasting fruits served with chillies. Rujak is a traditional fruit salad with a twist – it’s extremely spicy thanks to the added chillies. Different versions include local tropical fruits such as young mangos, starfruit, young papaya, jicama, and so on, often sliced with a serrated knife, then doused in a dressing of liquefied shrimp paste, salt and chillies. You may come across the ‘dry’ version throughout Southeast Asian countries, with only shrimp paste and salt. In Bali, though, they often order theirs with tuna broth or kuah pindang added!

3. Bulung – seaweed salad
This treat is known among the coastal Balinese communities, particularly around the island’s south. Seaweed - or bulung in the local tongue - comes in two varieties: the common stringy carrageenan seaweed and the bulbous boni type. Salads for both options are served in the same manner, with the same kuah pindang chilli and tuna broth as rujak, and topped with grated burnt coconut and fried nuts.

4. Urutan – pig intestine sausages
Another common Balinese rice dish accompaniment is urutan or Bali's version of blood sausages. Some Europeans and Americans may be accustomed to sausage skins filled with blood and cooked or dried and mixed with a filler until they congeal. Bali’s urutan is another by-product of babi guling and, in its raw form, the looks will certainly lower your appetite. But when sliced, fried, and served, it’s truly tasty and well worth a try.

5. Kakul – freshwater snails
These rice field snails are a valuable source of protein for agrarian communities in Bali. The favoured types are the darker to black ones, as they have a tastier and more delightful texture compared to the yellow types. The snails are gathered from the mud, shells cracked open, then washed. They are then boiled before cooked into soups, salads or prepared on skewers to be grilled as satays, together with a blend of Balinese spices.

6. Loloh – Balinese herbal drink
The Balinese make herbal drinks from various types of leaves and fruits, much like jamufrom Java. They refer to any liquid mixture or traditionally-prepared herbal tonic asloloh. Often, loloh is taken to maintain general good health and the ingredients are known for their medical benefits. Some of the most commonly used are tibah or morinda fruit, hibiscus flower, don kayumanis or leaves of the star gooseberry tree, with other herbs and spices such as salt, roast shallots, ginger and turmeric to taste.

7. Telengis – steamed coconut oil sediment
This is a by-product of traditional coconut oil processing, in which the remaining foam and residue that rises above the boiling coconut milk is sifted away to be coal-roasted alone in banana wraps as a white, mildly sweet and soft-textured condiment to accompany rice dishes. Tastes somewhat like melted cheese and shiitake.

8. Srombotan – spicy raw vegetable salad
Srombotan is a local raw (or partly-cooked) vegetable salad mix, originally from Bali’s regency of Klungkung. The main components include partly-steamed fern leaves, winged bean seeds, bean sprouts and cabbage. It is then topped with a very spicy kalassauce made of coconut milk blended with turmeric, chillies, galangal, shallots, garlic, coriander and a little bit of sand ginger. Certainly a must-try on your visits to East Bali – if you can handle really spicy dishes!

9. Lawar Nyawan - bee larvae salad
Another lawar mix to look out for (although rather hard to find) is this one that uses bee larvae and their honeycombs as main ingredient. Sometimes the honeycomb is left intact, with some of the larvae oozing out during the cooking process, together with the common blend of vegetable and spices that make up the usual lawar mix. The dish is as rare as the harvesting of beehives, so it’s one of the hardest to find on this list. Nevertheless, the textures and flavours of burnt honey with Balinese spices is something really exceptional and definitely worth a try, if you get the chance.

Jatiluwih Rice Terraces in Bali

Jatiluwih rice terraces pretty much cover the region of the namesake upland village in West Bali, most famous for its landscapes that are both dramatic and truly exotic. The site is one of the island’s must-see natural panoramas on par with Mount Batur and the caldera of Kintamani. The cool highlands and the breathtaking scenery of this village at the foot of Mount Batukaru makes for wonderful photo opportunities, and serves as a soothing retreat away from the island’s crowded south.
Located at about 700m above sea level in the Penebel district of the Tabanan regency, the journey up to these highlands from the main southern areas such as Kuta and Denpasar takes an approximate two-hour drive. You will find the largest and most picturesque expanse of paddies in Bali and perhaps the whole of Indonesia here. Another sister area with similar views is the village of Pupuan, also in Tabanan. Lush green views will already come into view upon approaching the region, while the main vantage point lies further up in the village. Entrance to the main area requires a fee that goes to the local village cooperative fund, and which is usually covered by tour operators. Halfway up, the view is truly impressive, with 180 degrees of gently sloping terraces as far as the eye can see.
