For one night, leave Bali’s beach clubs, city lights, and busy streets behind. Travel with us to the dry, open landscapes of Savana Tianyar, where the horizon stretches in every direction and the night sky takes center stage.

The Geminids are one of the year’s major meteor showers, known for producing bright, frequent meteors. But this isn’t simply a night of watching shooting stars. It is a full night immersed in nature — camping beneath the stars, discovering galaxies and nebulae through high-grade telescopes, learning how astrophotography captures objects billions of light-years away, gathering around a campfire, and experiencing the night sky through both science and the astronomical traditions of Indonesia and Bali.

No rushing home after stargazing. No fixed “telescope session.” The telescopes stay ready throughout the night — you decide how you want to experience it.

Stay awake and explore the sky until dawn, or retreat to your tent whenever you need to rest. Our astronomy team will be there throughout the night.

Savana Tianyar, Karangasem

Where the sky meets the savannah

We’ve chosen Savana Tianyar in Karangasem specifically for this experience. Located in one of Bali’s drier regions, the area offers wide, open landscapes with minimal visual obstruction — a natural setting for spending an entire night under the stars.

360° open horizon

A wide-open landscape lets you look across the sky in almost every direction, without buildings or dense urban development.

A natural foreground

Mount Agung and the surrounding landscape create a dramatic foreground for astrophotography, giving your night-sky images a distinctly Balinese character.

Immersion in nature

This isn’t a rooftop observatory or a quick stop at a viewpoint. You’ll camp in the landscape and spend the entire evening surrounded by nature.

One of Bali’s drier areas

Karangasem is among Bali’s drier regions, which makes it a particularly interesting location for a meteor-shower event.

Transportation

Round-trip transportation is available from designated meeting points in Ubud · Seminyak · Sanur. You can also choose the without-transportation option if you prefer to arrange your own journey.
