Explore the hidden trails of Manggis on this challenging, but rewarding walk to Jagasatru Waterfall and to the top of the range of mountains that the eco-retreat of Kaura Bali sits on. After a 2.5 hour hike to the falls, we walk through lush forest and pass by houses where bantam chickens forage and children play. The waterfall also has a pool formed at its base which is a great spot to cool-off for a bit and stretch the legs.

Before you hike up to the Jagasatru Waterfall, at the top of the hill, our standby team member will be ready with snacks, fruits, and water so that you can recharge before your trek. Fun fact, this hill is also where the giant Brahma statue is located on the island's east side. He is one of the three Gods in Hinduism believed to be responsible for keeping the island balanced, along with Wisnu in GWK (Garuda Wisnu Kencana) (south) and Shiva in Tabanan (west). Once you reach the base of the waterfall, you will have time for a dip in the fresh, cold pool and enjoy a cup of tea before continuing your hike. Before going down to the Jagasatru Waterfall, at the top of the hill, our standby team member would be at the ready to recharge you with snacks, fruits, and water refill.
Continue your journey through the jungle to reach the third stop of the excursion. This is where the locals make Arak, an alcoholic drink made from palm trees.
