Facilities

Overview

Started in 2016, Parahita perceived yoga culture has shifted, Yoga has lost its spirituality in each of the poses that is without understanding the process, the benefit, the purpose, and the meaning. It encouraged Parahita to make a change in their organization values. In Parahita, Yoga is more than an exercise to get sweat or flexibility. In Parahita, Yoga is the way of life to unite the human spirit with the divine. Parahita designed the practical aspects of the philosophy to find "Samadhi" in the performance of duties in everyday life.

Parahita is a Registered yoga school (RYS) accredited internationally by Yoga Alliance located in beautiful Bali. Parahita has held 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and Yoga Retreats at several places like Gianyar, Ubud, Sanur and Canggu every month, all-around the years and proudly graduated more than hundreds of yogis in the last couple years.

Check out all things you can see and do while visiting Bali’s less-explored region right here.

Cooking School

Cooking classes can be a fun and insightful part of your Bali holiday experience, as they allow you to learn more about local culture through food.

Classes usually run for three hours, featuring up to five different Balinese dishes. Market trips to source fresh ingredients or spice garden and organic farm tours are included, followed by a traditional Balinese lunch to assess and enjoy your own handiwork.

Freshwater Springs

The facility features simply constructed open-air bathing pools with fresh water that is channelled from the natural springs nearby.

The springs mostly attract local families looking for a spot to cool off during the weekends. Therefore, weekdays are usually the best time to visit to avoid the crowds. There are separate pools for adults and children, a lazy pool, changing rooms and showers.

Art Patio Gallery

Art Patio is an art space, which regularly presents painting, sculpture and photography exhibitions as well as movie screenings. The gallery mostly features local Balinese and Indonesian artists, either in solo and group exhibitions with displays usually rotated every two months.

Movie nights also alternate with the art exhibition openings, featuring two film titles. Besides regular exhibitions, Art Patio also holds on-demand workshops, welcoming anyone interested in developing their art skills and creativity. Classes welcome kids and adults, and cover drawing, painting, clay modelling, and even yoga.

Hot Springs

The centuries-old hot springs have been upgraded with modern facilities over time, and have become a favorite retreat and recreational site among locals and international visitors.

The hot water springs provide a recreational and therapeutic experience, due to the water’s sulfuric content. This can be seen from the yellowish-red sedimentation at several points of the spouts and pool walls.

The complex is known to have been further developed during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II. At the time, the waters of the hot springs were known to have cured various skin problems as well as rheumatic ailments. Banjar Hot Springs continue to provide an enjoyable and health-benefiting retreat up in the hills of the north, for those seeking relaxation, fun, sightseeing, and a totally different experience.

Rice Terraces

• The rice fields follow the contours of the green hills, with a river running through it. The rural neighbourhood also offers a great glimpse into agricultural Bali.

Buyan and Tamblingan Lake

Nature lovers and landscape photographers will love the scenic upland views that the central and northern Bali region has to offer, especially with its three lakes, of which Beratan is the most developed and popular. The other two - Buyan and Tamblingan - are protected sites, but welcome campers and trekkers.

The main road of the Asah Gobleg village connecting Bali’s north and south runs high past these two lakes, allowing for many vantage points for photo-taking. Tamblingan has forest trails and a mysterious lakeside temple, while Buyan has dedicated campsites and strawberry farms nearby.

Dolphin watching

Dolphin watching tours at Lovina Beach remain one of the main nature attractions of this quiet and laid-back coastal town in North Bali. What this black sand beach lacks in features when compared to the beaches around the island’s south, it makes up for with its frequent sightings of dolphin pods that favor these calm waters. Back in the days, every sunrise, local fishermen in traditional outriggers set out for their daily catches in the bay, and so did the dolphins.

Gitgit Waterfall

Gitgit Waterfall is one of Bali’s most popular, located only a 10-kilometer drive south of North Bali’s main town of Singaraja, or an 80-kilometer drive north from Kuta. The falls are easily accessible from the main road connecting Bedugul and Singaraja and are usually included as a natural landmark stopover on tour itineraries to Lovina Beach and the island’s northern region. It also provides a relatively easy trek, with a wooden boardwalk over a small gorge and cool streams.

Les Biorock Coral Gardens

The fishermen’s village of Les in Tejakula, North Bali, faced dire consequences following rampant cyanide fishing. Environmental NGOs then taught the locals about sustainable practices, proper netting techniques and replenishing the damaged coral gardens through bio rock technology.

Visiting divers and snorkelers now may contribute to the local community and conservation efforts through an ‘adopt a coral’ program, or take part in coral-growing dives to the now thriving artificial reefs. The reefs continue to attract schools of tropical fish besides being unique sightseeing features under the waves in their various frame shapes and sunken structures.

Lovina Beach

Lovina Beach is a combination of smaller beaches spanning several local villages between two districts in the North Bali regency of Buleleng. The beach is a great alternative to the highly popular (and often crowded beaches of Bali's south, the likes of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak. Calmer waves, serene black-sand shores, thrills in the offing, and a nightlife scene, are just a few things that sum up this quaint north Bali coast.

Menjangan Island

Take a boat ride over calm waves to this remote island that is part of Bali’s nature reserve, or go under to enjoy snorkeling and diving with superb year-round visibility. Menjangan Island is one of the island’s most popular dive sites. Overland, the savannahs are home to the rare Javan rusa deer, locally known as "Menjangan" (Cervus timorensis) - hence the island’s name. Under the waves are coral gardens teeming with marine life. The impressive Segara Giri Dharma Kencana temple dominates the hilly north-eastern shore with its towering seaward-facing Ganesh statue.

Munduk Rice Terraces

One of the places to enjoy long winding roads with scenic views of terraced rice fields is the village of Munduk, which is just a half-hour drive up from Lovina Beach. The rice fields here are steep and interspersed with coconut groves and rural village plantations growing various fruits and spices.

Among the notable resorts in this region are the Munduk Moding Plantation and the Puri Lumbung Cottages. The views here are on a par with those of the more popular Jatiluwih, in the Tabanan regency. Stop at the local plantations to buy a packet of super-fresh cloves or coffee beans, or try some fresh fruits.

Pemuteran Bay and Reef Restorations

The coastal area of Pemuteran Bay in Bali’s northwest is not only a premier diving site but home to a renowned bio rock project, overseen by the Karang Lestari Foundation. The bay has the largest area of shallow coral reefs in Bali due to its calm waves year-round. You can easily enjoy the views of spectacular coral reef growth near the coastline.

Hotel and dive shop owners collaborated closely with the village to protect the area, and The Karang Lesteri Project took off in June 2000, establishing the first coral nursery. Now, divers can enjoy expansive artificial reef gardens built over time, and even ‘adopt’ a coral with a structure built in their name.

Sekumpul Waterfall

Sekumpul is one of Bali’s scenic waterfalls, located in the village of Sawan in Buleleng, North Bali. The falls are fed by two upland streams and is the most accessible of the collection of falls in the area. Even so, getting down here requires a good deal of effort, through dirt tracks, a hundred or so steps and crossing over streams.

There are purpose-built gazebos where you can cool down and catch your breath while enjoying the view of the 80m-tall majestic fall from a distance. To get nearer, you’ll need to go further down more steps, but the scenery certainly justifies the effort.

Singsing Waterfall

It is one of North Bali’s hidden treasures, which is a great option for nature lovers and those with a penchant for adventure while staying around Lovina Beach or the capital of Singaraja. The waterfall is located up in the forested hills of the Cempaga village in Banjar, some 50 kilometers west of the town hub and main beach resort areas. Reaching the site requires a 20-minute trek on foot, starting at the rural neighbourhood and along a moderate forest trail.

The Ulun Danu Beratan Temple

It is both a famous picturesque landmark and a significant temple complex located on the western side of the Beratan Lake in Bedugul, central Bali. The whole Bedugul area is actually a favorite cool upland weekend and holiday retreat for locals and island visitors alike from the southern and urban areas, as it is strategically located, connecting the island’s north and south.

West Bali National Park (Taman Nasional Bali Barat)

It is a conservation area, a forested region which makes up most of central-western Bali, covering over 19,000 Ha. Taman Nasional Bali Barat features unique ecosystems which are also the original habitat of the rare Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi).

West Bali National Park's boundary includes open savannahs, dense rainforests, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs, and includes a small island reserve off the north coast of Bali, Pulau Menjangan, which is also referred to as ‘Deer Island’. The park is home to over 300 different species of animals and birds, most particularly the endangered starling.
