Top notch experience!
Wonderful experience. We were the only ones there. A lot less busy than other temples. Kadek was a wonderful guide explaining all the steps and giving us great insight into the culture.

Breathtaking place, disappointing treatment
The place was truly a favourite of ours — peaceful and quiet. However, we were deeply disappointed by the interactions with the locals once inside. Price per person: • Entrance: 30,000 $ (listed price) • Offering (mandatory): 100,000 $ • Guide (mandatory): 200,000 $ The issue isn’t the money itself. We would have gladly offered these amounts — even more — for the magic of the place and the guide’s accompaniment. But because we apparently “looked rich”, we were charged double without hesitation. If we had been told about the prices upfront, it wouldn’t have been a problem either. Such a shame to have the experience ruined at the end by being taken advantage of like that.
Response from the operator: Wouldn't have happened if you had booked with us. Unfortunately you chose not to book with us and posted your bad experience review, on our listing, even without involving us in arranging your visit and ceremony. Shame.

Stunning, moving and serene
I heard about this beautiful 11th century water temple and decided to go for melukat. The environment and holy springs rushing water is a sight to behold. The ceremony is beautiful and unique and not too many people. It felt deeply spiritual and something i will take with me forever.

An experience I will remember my whole life ❤️
This was a spiritual experience like no other I have had, so much personal reflection and purification of problems I had been carrying with me for a long time. The surroundings are beautiful and the water is crystal clear. Unfortunately not one for people with mobility issues, there are A LOT of steps. We booked a personal experience with Putu through the Seeking Sophie website and we were not disappointed. We started by dressing in traditional Balinese temple dress and made our own offerings whilst being told about the symbolism of the different elements. This was followed by a led meditation and explanation of the ceremony. The water ceremony itself was wonderful, each water source was significant to different areas of the mind and body and ancestral elements. I even had a lovely but slightly odd encounter with a crab! Following the ceremony we had a blessing at the temple followed by some good and wonderful conversation. Other people did not have the same experience on the standard tours, it was a personal experience like no other!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $52 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 Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple?
+
Around 8 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melukat Purification Ceremony at Mengening Temple 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 Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. 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.
