Highlights
What makes this experience truly special is that you don’t just observe Balinese life—you become part of it. From the moment you arrive in a small mountain village near Mt. Batukaru, you are welcomed into daily life and local traditions. Walk through rice terraces, meet local farmers, and pick fresh herbs straight from the garden. In our open-air Paon Bali kitchen, you’ll prepare authentic dishes and learn about Jamu, Bali’s traditional herbal health drinks. Surrounded by nature and the sounds of traditional music, you’ll cook, share stories, and connect with the family. After enjoying your home-cooked meal, you can try rice planting, meet our cow “Manis,” or discover the stingless bees and their rare honey. A truly personal and hands-on experience that offers a genuine connection to Bali’s culture and its people.

About Ubud
Ubud is Bali's cultural heart, a town of temples, craft villages and dance set among rice terraces and river gorges in the island's green uplands.
The town centres on the Ubud Palace and the busy market opposite, with traditional dance performed in temple courtyards in the evenings. Saraswati Temple's lotus ponds sit just off the main road, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary shelters long-tailed macaques among moss-covered shrines and giant banyan trees.
Top-ranked sights in Ubud: Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Sawah Terasering Tegalalang), Tegenungan Waterfall (Air Terjun Tegenungan), Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul).
