The Jatiluwih trek is a breathtaking journey through Bali’s iconic UNESCO World Heritage rice terraces. Located a short drive from Dajuma Terrace, it offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in traditional Balinese agriculture, where ancient irrigation systems called subak create cascading fields of emerald green. This trek is perfect for nature enthusiasts, combining serene landscapes with cultural insights.

Close by, Air Terjun Yeh Hoo is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This enchanting waterfall is nestled amidst lush jungle surroundings, offering a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. Its tranquil atmosphere and cool mist provide a serene spot for relaxation or photography.

KAWAH IJEN TREK

/in

Part of the Merapi Mountains in East Java is the fascinating Kawah Ijen Volcano towering 2769m above sea level. It is particularly famous because many television channels have popularized its miners who directly extract sulfur from the bottom of the volcano and transport it with 50 to 70 kg on their shoulders through steep paths. Moreover, its crater lake is the largest acidic lake in the world with a strange milky turquoise color. A very interesting place easy to visit from Dajuma if you are not afraid to wake up early in the morning. Because the discovery of the breathing of the earth at sunrise, with its blue flames is just incredible. This excursion also gives us the opportunity, for those who wish, to help materially by a donation the families of miners whose life expectancy does not exceed 40 to 50 years. That’s what our hosts, the Lippay family, did a few days ago. A wonderful souvenir to bring back to Europe!

A few kilometers from Dajuma, close to the sacred tree Bunut Bolong, we were invited last saturday to the inauguration of a new trekking area by the government of Jembrana which is this region of West Bali where Dajuma is located. Jembrana is now well known for its authenticity and the variety of its hidden treasures: the famous Bali National Park with its unique diving and snorkeling spot Menjangan, another worldclass spot for surfing called Medewi, the holy temple of Rambut Siwi, the fishing harbor of Perancak, the buffalo races, the Jegog music and so many other curiosities! Another very interesting discovery is trekking in the jungle what is now possible thanks to the initiative of Jembrana Tourism Authority: imagine a 1h30 to 2h tour by foot where you will discover the unbelievable wealth of Bali nature, its trees and flowers, its so tiny and beautiful temples nestled everywhere. We are ready for the next summer season to make you discover this new treasure of West Bali. We are sure you will love it!

Dajuma is always challenging itself with new areas to discover. After the high season, it’s the best time to explore new tours with some of our Dajuma friends. The most recent one was to go to Blimbingsari and explore the area. Blimbingsari was the first Christian Village of Bali, who established itself on April 1st, 1947. Today there are 170 Christian families cohabiting with Hindu and Muslim communities. Just behind this well organized village there is a magnificent forest where we had a 3 hours trekking. The trek was conducted by the local ranger who made us passed through this luxurious jungle. We saw some birds, a variety of trees, which are several centuries old, different types of insects, a paradise for nature photographer. Now time to debrief with our Dajuma friends and decide how we will integrate this new tour to our catalogue. We’ll keep you posted.
