Key Takeaways
- Choose Tirta Empul or Pura Beji — same private rate
- Private booking — your group, your shuttle, your guide (the temple itself is public)
- IDR 1,200,000 / person — shuttle + guide + breakfast included
- Typical start 08:00 or 09:00 · about 3–4 hours hotel to hotel
- Dress: covered shoulders + change of clothes — we supply sarong, sash, and bathing wrap
Tirta Empul or Pura Beji?
Tirta Empul (we also write Tirta Empu) is the famous holy spring temple in Manukaya, Tampaksiring, Gianyar — about 30–40 minutes north of Ubud. Maps list it as Pura Tirta Empul.
Pura Beji is a quieter holy-spring alternative. Same private guide, shuttle, offering, and breakfast. Confirm which spring you want on WhatsApp.
A walk-in ticket only covers the grounds. It does not include a guide who explains which fountains are for living guests and which are reserved for funeral rites. That is why we sell a guided private package, not a temple-ticket markup.
Not the same spring: Griya Beji Waterfall (Taman Beji Griya in Punggul) is a different park — waterfall purification from IDR 300,000, plus palm reading and mental healing. Side-by-side: Griya Beji vs Tirta Empul.

What the morning looks like
- Pickup from your Ubud hotel (08:00 or 09:00).
- Drive to Tirta Empul (Tampaksiring) or Pura Beji.
- Briefing — offering, sash, which spouts to use.
- Melukat in the holy spring pools (cold mountain water).
- Breakfast (included), then shuttle back.
The pools are chest-deep for most adults. Tell us children’s ages on WhatsApp so we can judge comfort.
Dress code and etiquette
Covered shoulders. We bring sarong and sash. Do not wear the dry temple sarong into the water — use the bathing wrap. Women who are menstruating should not enter the inner courtyards or the pools. Full rules: Bali temple dress code.
Shuttle vs other pickup rules
This is not the IDR 400,000 ATV/rafting pickup add-on. The Ubud-area shuttle is built into the 1.2M private rate. Cycling and Tumang cooking use complimentary Ubud pickup; the Mount Batur jeep includes island-wide pickup. Policy: Ubud hotel pickup explained.
Pairing the same day
A Tampaksiring Tirta Empul morning sits next to Umah Kuno luwak tasting (transport not included on that tasting — ask us to keep the shuttle). Afternoon Tumang cooking class also works after a morning ritual.
