Purchase tickets well in advance for this captivating Ramayana-inspired fire dance, performed nightly at sunset with the stunning Uluwatu Temple as a backdrop.
In their own words: “The Kecak dance, the fire one, the Ramayana dance, that happens here too. Between 7:00 and 8:00. But its tickets sell out very quickly. That's where the Kecak dance happens, which is a depiction of Hanuman, from our Ramayana, in a dance form. The whole thing is really beautiful.”

Witness the iconic Kecak Fire Dance at sunset for a magical and deeply spiritual performance depicting the Ramayana story with rhythmic chants and fire rituals.
In their own words: “And at sunset begins the world-famous Kecak Fire Dance, with dozens of performers chanting “chak-chak-chak” in perfect rhythm, their voices echoing through the cliffs, with the setting sun’s orange glow in the background. This is not just a dance, it’s a spiritual performance that tells the story of the Ramayana, depicting the battle between good and evil.”
