About this retreat

Walk the trail voted Best of the World 2026 by National Geographic readers: a 10-day coast-to-coast pilgrimage, 117 km on foot from the black sand of Cemagi Beach to the northern shores of Seririt. Day by day the island changes around you: living rice terraces, sacred springs, food forests, mountain villages, and Batukaru, Bali's last primary jungle, where only a few organisations can guide you. You join a Melukat purification ritual with a priest, learn from master artisans, practise daily yoga and evening circles, and share the homes and tables of farming communities leading the regenerative projects your trail directly funds. Astungkara Way is not just a travel company. Meals are vegetarian, grown on the farms you cross. Nights are spent on handcrafted platforms immersed in nature, in places few travellers ever get to sleep: deep in the forest, at the foot of a waterfall, on a mountaintop. Groups are a maximum of 9 pilgrims, run by Astungkara Way's own full-time guides and organisers.
