Experience authentic Bali: Jamu making, local sweets, Balikaru farm, plus homemade dinner
This experience offers an authentic glimpse into Balinese village life in the peaceful highlands of Mount Batukaru. Step off the beaten path and discover the island’s true soul, where nature, tradition, and heartfelt hospitality come together.
Learn about traditional Jamu making, the ancient herbal wellness drink that has been part of Indonesian life for over a thousand years, and prepare three delicious Balinese desserts. Taste, smell, and feel the essence of Bali in every step.
As the day slows, visit Balikaru Farm to meet ducks, geese, and our gentle cow, Manis, or try your hand at planting rice. Don’t miss the buzzing highlight of the day: the stingless Trigona bees that produce Bali’s golden, vitamin-rich honey.
As the sun sets, enjoy a homemade Balinese dinner at Warung Balikaru—a moment to relax, reflect, and savor the memories of a truly special day in the village.
The Balikaru hosts are families from the surrounding village who proudly share their traditions—by visiting, you’ll learn from them and help keep their strong community alive for generations to come.
