One more exotic natural attraction in Bali which is still rarely known by tourists is the Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang in the Sukawati, Gianyar. Hidden Canyon is a deep and narrow valley with very steep slopes due to an erosion of river water flow.
Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang Bali is located in the Beji river which is very close to Dalem Temple of Guwang Village, Sukawati. It might take 35 minutes driving away from Ubud. This location is very sacred by local residents. Because of this, the guest is advisable to be polite during the visit.
The existence or history of the Guwang River Hidden Canyon (Beji in Balinese means a sacred river) has been around for a long time. As a result of the erosion, the natural river flow for hundreds or even thousands of years which formed a very charming canyon in the river right in Guwang Village, Sukawati. The Guwang river flow will end at Ketewel beach. Before becoming a tourist destination, the Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang became a location for fishing for the local residents. Around this river, there is the Beji Temple which has a fountain that is used by local residents for drinking water and holy water for the temple ceremony around the area.
Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang Bali isn't a crowd as the Sukawati Art Market because not many people know about the existence, the trip to that place also requires good physical condition.
Many guests who ever visited this place is always saying that going to Beji Guwang is a challenging trip because we have to be strong in a good physical and this trip isn't recommended for parents, children or people with serious injuries.
We recommend that you come when the dry season arrives, to avoid the heavy river flow. The best time to come is at 9 AM in the morning. For a comfortable trip, you should use local residents as guides so you don't get lost because they are more familiar with the conditions of the road being traveled. To arrive at the location of the canyon you must take a 700-meter route along the river that has slippery rocks. Without a tourist guide, you will be confused to find a route or road that can be passed or not to get to the location of the Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang Bali. This draining trip will pay off with the stunning panorama which is unforgettable.
