This immersive half-day experience is perfect for culture lovers who want to understand the craftsmanship, sound, and soul behind Balinese music. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll visit artisan villages, meet the makers, and even try playing the gamelan yourself.
Your journey begins in Blahbatuh Village, a renowned center of Balinese artisanship. Here, you’ll visit a traditional gong-smith workshop where ceremonial gongs and other gamelan instruments have been made for generations. Watch as skilled craftsmen shape, fire, and tune the instruments entirely by hand — a fascinating process that relies on a master’s ear rather than modern tools. This up-close experience reveals the spiritual connection between music, ceremony, and Balinese life.
From here, continue to Batusepih Village, where your introduction to gamelan music truly begins. After a light refreshment, you’ll join a hands-on session guided by local musicians who will walk you through the basics of this intricate ensemble.

Whether you’re a musician or simply curious about Balinese heritage, this tour offers a unique and meaningful way to experience the living traditions of the island.
