About this experience

What makes this experience so special is that you don’t just watch—you live it. From the moment you arrive in the small mountain village near Mt. Batukaru, you become part of Balinese life. You’ll stroll through the rice terraces, meet the farmers, and pick fresh herbs straight from the garden. In our Paon Bali, the open-air kitchen, you’ll learn how to prepare authentic meals and ancient Jamus—the healthy power drinks of the Balinese.

The sounds of nature and the rhythm of traditional music surround you while cooking, laughing, and sharing stories with the family. After enjoying your homemade lunch, you can even try planting rice, feed our cow “Manis,” or discover the stingless bees and their rare honey. Every moment feels real and personal—a genuine connection to Bali’s culture, traditions, and the warmth of its people.
