About this audio guide
This guide to Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang follows a gorge that villagers avoided as haunted for generations, worked only by the occasional fisherman after dark. It traces what happened in 2015 when a French traveler followed a local guide off the trail near Beji Temple and filmed the ravine's sculpted walls, and how that footage changed who came looking for it. Listen for the current still used today for melukat, the purification ritual practiced by Balinese visitors here.
