Walking Pilgrimage & Cultural Wellness Retreat in Bali

The Astungkara Trail is a 10-day, coast-to-coast walking journey across Bali, designed with the principles of regenerative travel and reciprocity. You'll traverse diverse landscapes: small streets, village walkways, jungle paths, rice fields, and bamboo forests, with daily walks averaging 14 km. The trail is intentionally small, with groups of 4–9 pilgrims, ensuring an intimate and meaningful experience. Along the way, local facilitators—young Balinese like Tiara, Tona, Saba, and Palupi—share stories of their culture, spiritual traditions, and daily life, making the journey as much about people as place. Highlights include hands-on workshops like cooking, bamboo weaving, and composting, as well as a water purification ceremony led by a local priest. Evenings are spent in sharing circles, reflecting on the day's experiences. This retreat is not just a physical challenge but a chance to disconnect from routine, embrace a digital detox, and reconnect with nature and yourself.
