Bali Tour Invites You to Eat, Pray and Love

From Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 best-selling book, Eat, Pray and Love.

(PRNewsChannel) / Las Vegas, Nev. / Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 best-selling book, Eat, Pray, Love, has been translated into 30 languages and sold more than 5 million copies.  Her travels and experiences resonate with people all over the globe.  Now, a lucky few can participate in the newly created tour, “Eat, Pray, & Love Bali,” as Spirit Quest Tours, a boutique spiritual tour company based in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts this unique trip in May, 2009.

Spirit Quest Tours tried to incorporate all aspects of the book into the trip.  “The Eat part is easy, since the food on Bali is so wonderful” Spirit Quest Tours’ founder Greg Roach said.  “Then, we’re teaching everyone how Balinese Hindus pray, and offering meditation and yoga. Of course, everything in Bali is about love.” As to the chance of someone going single and returning with the love of their life, as Gilbert did?  Roach laughs. “We don’t make any guarantees!”

A trip highlight is visiting the local shaman Gilbert made famous, Ketut Liyer.  Meeting Liyer last year, Roach found an engaging and joyous man. “He did palm readings, and he kept telling everyone they would live to be 100.” For at least one woman on that trip, Liyer’s advice was timed perfectly. “He told her to find a new job, and it was just the push she needed.  She went home and started on a new career.” 

There is one big difference between Gilbert’s trip and this tour: the accommodations.  “Our guests expect a four star experience,” said Roach.  “Gilbert just rented a cottage.”  Each two guests get their own deluxe room at the Nusa Dua resort.  Once in Ubud, the artistic center of Bali, the accommodations get even more upscale.  “Each pair gets their own private villa,  private pool, even an on-call butler!” Guests will visit local temples, including the famous Taneh Lot, and enjoy spa treatments.  More traditional sightseeing will include shopping with local artisans, a torch-lit dinner on the beach, and a farewell evening with traditional Balinese dances.  The Kitchak alone requires 100 shirtless men to participate, so perhaps any ladies on the trip who are still single can take a chance at that elusive “Love” part of the “Eat, Pray, & Love Bali” tour.
