l experts we offer unforgettable day or multi day activities, food and drinks in the breathtaking area of the holy Mt. Batukaru. What makes us different? All of our activities were designed from experts who live on the island or serve for tourists and locals since more than 25 years. Our experts are part of two worlds, the Balinese and western culture and balance the local needs and the tourist expectations in a responsible and sustainable way. All ou can share with us is local! Local ressources are our first choice. We try to restitute more than we take out. Respect, harmony & tourism! All our activities, food and drinks are made from regional ingredients, inspired by traditional recipies and the original daily life on the island of gods. Respect and solidarity with the Balinese traditions, the authentic life and harmony with the natural ressources are our major concerns. We keep the impact from tourism as low as possible. Responsibility

Showing all our guests an authentic world and keeping the authentic world alive and undamaged is our philosophy. We accomodate only a limited amout of guests per day, an amount which has no impact on the social and cultural traditions but which opens opportunities for a better education, to grow the locxal economy sustainable und to design a future without the unheallthy achievements of the "modern" world".

Stop scrolling past the same filtered lies. 📸🛑

There is a Bali that doesn’t exist for your feed, but for your feeling.
While the world is busy staging the "perfect" life, we invite you to live a real one. No bus tours, no "Insta-famous" swings, no crowds. Just the crackle of a woodfire in Mama Bali’s kitchen, the scent of fresh herbs, and the icy, sacred touch of hidden jungle springs. 🌿✨
This is the happiness you forgot existed. It’s raw, it’s loud, it’s honest. It’s the journey back to yourself.
Stop doing what they tell you. Do what actually makes you happy. 🐃🤍

REAL CARE HAPPENS WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING. 🗑️✨

True sustainability isn't a marketing slogan—it's hard work. In the villages surrounding Mount Batukaru, our Balikaru team actively collects plastic waste from temple festivals and local pathways.

For us, this is the foundation of "The Last Real Bali." We believe that tourism must be a force for good, preserving the traditions and nature that make this island sacred. By joining our tours, you directly support these conservation efforts.
Join a community that cares. Join Balikaru.

Discover the island where life still follows ancient rhythms. Bali remains a sanctuary of authenticity, and rituals like Odalan show us why: it is a moment where an entire village unites in devotion, sharing offerings and prayers in a cycle that has remained unchanged for centuries.

In our mountain village of Belulang, we have built Balikaru to safeguard this very way of life. As a community-based project with a fully local value chain, we invite you to experience Bali not as an observer, but as a guest of the community. From traditional wood-fire cooking classes to mystical jungle treks and sacred blessings at the Tjampuhan, every experience we offer is a piece of the real Bali.
No staged performances—just the honest, beautiful truth of our island. 🌋🧡

DARK. STILL. PURE. NYEPI.

19th Mar2026, the island of Bali will fall into total silence for 24 hours. No lights, no sound, no movement—only the breath of nature.
In the heart of the silence, Bali finds its light. It is a day of deep reflection and a sacred new beginning. As the world goes quiet, we invite you to pause with us and feel the true essence of The Last Real Bali.

Wishing you a peaceful Nyepi 2026 and a beautiful New Balinese Year.

Home is where the heart—and the spirit—is. 🛖🙏

Today was a special day at the Balikaru farm. We accompanied Pink Bubu to her new open-air bamboo stable. Parallel to her walk up the mountain, our community prepared the space with a traditional blessing to ensure her new beginning is filled with harmony.

Pink Bubu isn't just an albino buffalo; she is a symbol of the authentic, untouched Bali we protect every day. We invite you to step away from the crowds and join us for a day that will change how you see this island.

Experience our Pure Bali Village Experience and meet Pink Bubu in person.

The honest scent of home. 🥥🔥

Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that tell the real story of Bali. We’ve brought two pieces of our village life even closer to you, because they are what we truly love about our home.

🍢 The Gerobak Grill: We now prepare our Saté over a traditional Gerobak—the simple, mobile grill you see at the dusty roadsides of the island. No gas, no shortcuts. Just the crackling fire of coconut wood and that deep, smoky scent that stays with you long after you’ve left the village.

🥞 The Village Sweet: In our cooking school, we are now sharing a very special family recipe for Laklak. These little green rice cakes are made exactly how a grandmother here would make them—in clay pots over embers, with local palm sugar and a lot of patience.
But the most important part is missing until you arrive. We don’t just want to show you our village; we want you to sit with us, share these flavors, and become part of our day at the foot of Mount Batukaru.

Who says authentic travel has to be quiet? 🥭🕺

At Balikaru, we believe the best way to preserve our culture is to celebrate it with joy! Watch our team and guests turning a simple cooking day into a full-blown kitchen party at our traditional Paon Bali. 🥘

No stages, no performances—just real people, real laughter, and a few flying papayas. This is what we call Community Based Tourism with a heartbeat. ❤️

Come as a guest, leave as a friend. Discover the real Bali with us: www.balikaru.com 🥥✨

Beyond the surface of the island, there is a state of being where time stands still. We call it SURREALITY. ✨

Hidden in the mist-covered foothills of Mount Batukaru, our sacred Tjampuhan awaits. It is more than a place; it is a confluence of holy springs and ancient rhythms. 🌿

Witness the purification ritual at our village temple – a private journey into the heart of the last real Bali. No crowds. No filters. Just the healing flow of the jungle.
