Review Body: We were very fortunate to stumble upon this tour as a last minute book on our travels between Ubud and Sanur Myself and my kids aged 9,12 & 13. My kids as always were skeptical of the activity but honestly, they were mind blown and had an awesome time! We were lucky to have the Mepatigan crew all to ourselves The experience was like no other. The village, completely hand made, is unique and beautiful We were in awe. So many different activities and the food was delicious. It’s an expensive experience, especially when paying for 4 of you, but honestly I believe it was worth every $ I wanted my family to have a unique, authentic experience and to connect with locals and each other and that was definitely achieved today Thank you Putu & family ❤️

Review Body: Mepantigan Bali is a very unique, artistic, nice, cool, natural and comfortable place for refreshing while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery with mud coffee. Besides that, there is a tradition of wrestling in the mud which is famous in Mepantigan Bali with the initiator of his brilliant idea, namely Om Putu Witsen as the owner of Mepantigan Bali, he made the tradition of wrestling in the mud to honor Dewi Sri (The Goddess of Rice) and establish friendship and kinship with very important things. unique. I salute and admire the brilliant ideas of Uncle Putu Witsen. Wish you all the best, good luck and God bless you om Putu Witsen and Mepantigan Bali Come to Mepantigan Bali guys. The location is strategic and easy to reach.

Review Body: It was so much more than just mud wrestling. It was a true balinese experience. We felt we got to try culturally rich and fun things. The hosts were lovely and very entertaining. We did tug of war, dancing with bamboo, mud sauna, mud massage, sparring with pads, tried freshly made coffee n tea n alcohol. They also performed for us and showed us many animals in their compound. The food they served buffet style was delicous and we were encouraged to take more. Really had a great time! Will come again! (Only disappointed that I couldn't take more photos as we did activities nonstop. XD) Thank u for a wonderful time!

There will be wrestling, fun games and connecting between humans, animals and nature. As a part of this the guests can try to connect with the friendly duck named Bob, by having complete focus on developing harmony with the duck while placing it on the head and thus creating the complete Balinese Mud Experience. Fifth: After the fun in the mud we are going to treat our guests with a healing Mud Massage, Special Mud Sauna and Mud Coffee or Tea plus Balinese Mud Purification. Our Balinese style natural sauna is one of the most unique experiences we offer our guests. It is complete with Massage while enjoying a fresh cup of mud coffee or tea in the mud, Balinese Style Sauna and Warm Herbal Water rinse off mixed with many herbal plants such as turmeric, Pandanus leaf and Ginger.

It is a buffet with only natural ingredients, and all are locally grown from Bali. It is possible for guests with both a vegetarian diet and a non vegetarian diet to enjoy our wonderful Nasi Lumpur buffet. Our buffet only serves chicken for meat and the chicken will be prepared separately from the rest of the dishes in the buffet. In order for all of our guests to be able to freely pick which ever they desire from the buffet and feel comfortable eating it. All the food is free from MSG and palm oil. We only use natural coconut oil for our cooking and we cook in a traditional way using firewood instead of a stove. We use banana leaves as plates, bamboo drinking cups and wooden spoons and forks. We are trying to create a complete plastic-free environment at Mepantigan Bali and only use natural materials for our buffet. It is a part of our goal to revive and inspire the original Balinese lifestyle for both our guests and our local community in order to live a natural and sustainable lifestyle. ( Time duration is around 2.5 hours, we can start at 4pm leading to dinner or start 10am leading to lunch time )
