Walk the trail voted Best of the World 2026 by National Geographic readers: a 10-day coast to coast pilgrimage, 117 km on foot from the black sand of Cemagi Beach to the northern shores of Seririt. Day by day the island changes around you: living rice terraces, sacred springs, food forests, mountain villages, and Batukaru, Bali's last primary jungle, where only a few organizations can guide you. You join a Melukat purification ritual with a priest, learn from master artisans, practice daily yoga and evening circles, and share the homes and tables of farming communities leading the regenerative projects your trail directly funds: we are not just a travel company. Meals are vegetarian, grown on the farms you cross. Nights are spent on handcrafted platforms immersed in nature, in places few travelers ever get to sleep: deep in the forest, at the foot of a waterfall, on a mountaintop. Groups of maximum 9 pilgrims, run by Astungkara Way's own full-time guides and organizers.

So Much More Than a Walking Trail
Absolutely incredible 10-day experience with Astungkara Trail. The guides quickly felt less like guides and more like an extension of family. They held everything together with so much grace, kindness and humour, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire journey. What really made this experience special was being welcomed into a side of Bali that most tourists don’t get to see. We visited people’s homes and farms, experienced traditional rituals and got a genuine glimpse into everyday Balinese life and culture. And the food! We joked that Astungkara might be about the walking, but really it was about the food. Every meal was incredible. I especially loved the snack stops on the longer hiking days and the amazing breakfasts. My love and tolerance for chilli definitely increased over the 10 days! I also really enjoyed the communal sleeping. It had a fun, school-camp feeling that added to the sense of connection within the group. Overall, this was so much more than a walking trip. It was 10 days of incredible food, culture, connection, beautiful landscapes and being welcomed into local communities. I can’t speak highly enough of the guides or the experience, and I would absolutely do another Astungkara Trail.

Coast to Coast the best experience in my life
Incredible experience! I was intrigued by hiking through the jungle and to explore Bali by foot. I decided to switch off my social media for 12 days even though I could of course always log into a Wi-Fi to check on the latest snake or tree or whatever query. Probably the most healing or Connect to myself experience I’ve ever done in my life. I did not expect this at all, but I came back totally grounded and one with myself again. It’s not something you actively do, it’s something that comes to you by Just going along day after day. I can recommend it highly to anyone at any point in their lives.

Fulfilling and enriching
There is no other trip I have come across like this. This is my second walk with Astungkara Way for good reasons! Astungkara Way do an absolutely amazing job at putting together the best possible experience to get to know true Bali and learn about regenerative farming. Everything was smooth from start to finish and I have never felt so looked after and nourished on holiday. The guides are fantastic and made the walking fun, the food is SO good, local, made by the beautiful partners at different stays, and in abundance throughout (you’ll see!). The locations are amazing and each one is different, and the activities are great and varied at each stay. The focus on regenerative farming and preserving traditions makes Astungkara Way a gem in what can be a crazy tourism industry. I highly recommend Astungkara Way to anyone who wants a truly rich and fulfilling way to travel at a pace that suits a wide range of people. Thank you to all the team who do such amazing work to make these trips happen.

Amazing authentic experience across the heart of Bali
An Extraordinary experience. The 10 day Astungkara Way was an incredible authentic experience which I didn’t think was still possible in Bali. The generosity of family partners made us feel like invited family members to participate in preparing home cooked meals, ceremonies, farming, and cultural activities. Each morning was an early start walking to avoid the heat of the day, time for a rest and then participate in a cultural activity before dinner. The guides and facilitators with the families looked after our every need, were considerate and caring to our abilities, provided extensive knowledge during the walk and activities.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review, it really helps get the word out there that it is indeed still possible to experience the heart of Bali. We hope to see you soon, we will be launching a new experience in September: the North West Bali Trail. Stay posted on our social media to find out more :) Astungkara

10 memorable days in Bali
The 10 day Astungkara Way Coast to Coast Walk was an absolutely fantastic experience in every way. The guides and staff were brilliant - funny, engaging, professional, caring and thoughtful. Every day we passed through new and varying scenery - urban early on but quickly left behind for rice paddies, waterfalls, forrest, villages, laneways, alongside rivers and through flower gardens. And every evening sleeping out in the fresh air on a bamboo or wooden platform where the sounds of Bali just added another layer of richness to the experience. And the food! Oh wow, the amazing vegetarian meals along with tasty freshly cooked snacks or tropical fruits sustained us all through the walk. I can’t recommend this walk highly enough and if you can’t find 10 days then try any of the other Astungkara Way experiences. you will not be disappointed.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage cost?
+
Prices start at $1,364 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Astungkara Trail 10 Day Bali Coast to Coast Walking Pilgrimage start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
