Pyramids of Chi
Build a trip to Bali
About
The Pyramids of Chi is a unique sound healing sanctuary featuring two massive pyramids built to the exact scale of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Inside, visitors participate in 'Ancient Sound Healing' sessions involving large gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, and drums, designed to induce deep relaxation and cellular healing. The sensory experience is powerful—the resonance of the gongs vibrates through the wooden floors and into the body, while the dim, incense-scented interior creates a womb-like atmosphere. Experts recommend the 'Moonlight Gong' sessions for a deeper spiritual connection. Pro tip: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and avoid a heavy meal before your session to maximize the benefits of the sound vibrations; booking online is essential as sessions often sell out.

Room4Dessert
Room4Dessert is the brainchild of pastry chef Will Goldfarb, featured on Netflix’s 'Chef’s Table.' This isn't just a dessert shop; it’s a multi-stage culinary journey through a 21-course tasting menu that moves guests from the garden to the bar to the dining room. The menu focuses on medicinal Balinese herbs and forgotten local ingredients, turned into avant-garde sweets and snacks. The sensory experience is whimsical and intellectually stimulating, paired with low-intervention wines and creative elixirs. Experts recommend the 'Full Experience' to truly understand Goldfarb’s philosophy. Pro tip: This is a long experience (approx. 2-3 hours), so don't plan a heavy dinner beforehand. It’s located in a beautiful garden setting that is particularly atmospheric in the early evening.
Campuhan Ridge Walk
The Campuhan Ridge Walk offers a scenic escape from the bustling center of Ubud, leading you along a paved path atop a lush green ridge. The trail is flanked by two river valleys—the Sungai Wos and Sungai Cerik—and offers views of traditional thatched-roof villas and sprawling jungle. It is a sensory delight, filled with the sound of cicadas and the sight of swaying elephant grass. The walk is relatively easy and flat, making it accessible for most fitness levels. Experts suggest starting the walk at sunrise when the valley is often filled with a mystical morning mist. Pro tip: There is very little shade along the ridge; avoid walking between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM as the tropical sun can be punishing. End your walk at Karsa Kafe for a refreshing coconut with a view of the lotus ponds.
Naughty Nuri's Ubud
Since 1995, Naughty Nuri's has been a legendary institution in Ubud, famous for its 'wicked' pork ribs and brutal martinis. The atmosphere is unpretentious and gritty, with smoke rising from the street-side grill and walls adorned with quirky memorabilia. The sensory experience is dominated by the aroma of caramelizing soy-based sauce and the lively chatter of travelers from around the world. Experts recommend the signature BBQ Pork Ribs, which are fall-off-the-bone tender. Pro tip: Don't miss the 'Martini Dance' performed by the staff whenever a cocktail is ordered. It gets incredibly busy, so be prepared for a communal dining experience where you might share a table with strangers.
Ayung River White Water Rafting
Rafting the Ayung River through a magnificent 15-kilometer gorge of tropical jungle, ancient temple carvings, and thundering waterfalls is one of Bali's most exhilarating outdoor adventures, with Grade II-III rapids suitable for all experience levels providing thrills without excessive danger. The two-hour journey passes through carved riverside relief sculptures created by local artisans over centuries, with egrets, kingfishers, and monitor lizards visible along the jungle-fringed banks. Expert guides lead groups safely through the rapids while pointing out the remarkable landscape, and the post-rafting buffet lunch at the riverside base camp rewards the effort with generous portions of traditional Balinese cuisine.
