Itinerary
Watch how each gong is molded, painted, and hand-tuned using only the gong-smith’s ear — a fascinating process that connects deeply with Balinese spirituality. You’ll even have a chance to try playing the gamelan yourself.
Explore ancient stone carvings, sacred manuscripts, and even a rare stone coffin used by Balinese royalty in the past.
You’ll walk through lush fields of coffee trees, tropical fruits, herbs, and spices. Enjoy a tasting session of locally made teas and coffees, including the world-famous Luwak coffee, served with traditional Balinese snacks. Before you leave, you’ll have the chance to purchase freshly packed coffee, tea, or chocolate to bring home.
In the cool mountains of Kintamani, take in the views of Mt Batur. Black lava runs from the peak of this active volcano to the valley floor, where the shimmering Lake Batur — Bali’s widest lake — lies at its base. Stop here for a delicious lunch (own expense), served in a local restaurant offering an Indonesian buffet and magnificent vistas. Marvel at the crescent-shaped lake, surrounded by the steep walls of the crater rim where the original Mt Batur erupted tens of thousands of years ago.
On the way in, you’ll pass through a peaceful bamboo forest before arriving at the village gates. Here, you’ll have the chance to wear traditional Balinese custom and stroll through the beautifully preserved streets, observing daily life and strong cultural values.

About Jimbaran
Jimbaran is a bay-side fishing village on Bali's southern peninsula, known for sunset seafood grills on the sand and quiet beaches near the airport.
Jimbaran sits on the narrow neck of land joining Bali's southern Bukit peninsula to the rest of the island, close to the airport. A long beach curves round the bay facing the Indian Ocean, with fishing boats pulled up on the sand at the northern end, near Kedonganan's fish market, and a gentle sea in the dry season.
