Go Around Bali Tours: Spring Water Temple Tour
Last Sunday, March 9th,
2014 was a holy day in Bali. It is called “Banyu Pinaruh”. That was the day
when Go Around Bali Tours had a sightseeing to one of the most famous places
where people do a holy bathing or purification activity; that was the ‘Holy
Spring Water Temple’ in Tampak Siring. Yes, that is right. This place is very
famous among tourists who have been in Bali. Its location is not too far from
Ubud centre, and it’s very easy to get there. Well…that Sunday morning Go
Around Bali Tours picked up guests in the hotel and left at around 09:00. We
visited some places (like watching Barong dance performance, taking a look to
Batik and sliver shops) before heading up to the temple. As what we had
planned, we arrived there at 11:30. When we got on the spot, the first word
coming out was ‘Wooow’. Not because of the stunning site, but throngs of people
and crowd of vehicles around the temple area. Looking at the situation, we had
to carefully guide our guests and led them all the way around. Our planning was
doing a holy bathing, but it seemed it was very difficult as there were lots of
people queuing in the pool. There was almost no space to jump in it. “Oh my
goodness…when do we have a chance to be under the holy fountain? Should we wait
until the sun goes down? Or join the crowd and be in the water until our skin
gets pale?” I was talking to my self. It was a hard choice really. We had a
discussion to each other and decided not to do the bathing, but only took some
photos and took a look to the temple in the main stage. Unfortunately, there
were also many people pay homage in the main temple that made us difficult to
get passed and look around the temple. Therefore, we eventually changed our
plan and spent only a couple of minutes in the temple and decided to leave the
place. I tried to explain this situation to the guests and assure them to come
back again another time, if possible, come a bit early to avoid the crowd.

Every holy day in bali, Balinese
like to go to the temple and do self-purification. The Holy Spring Water Temple
seems to be the main choice to do it and people (Balinese) believe that
purifying our selves under the holy fountains of the Spring Water Temple makes
our body and sour fresher and serene. For those who have a strong and deep spiritual
understanding will feel the different and they will have willingness to come
and experience it. Come and plan your tours with us and fell how it is like to
be under the holy fountains. See you there.
