We begin the day at a traditional Balinese home to learn about Asta Kosala Kosali, the ancient principles guiding the layout of homes and temples. Enjoy local snacks with coffee or tea before joining village women to make Canang offerings and try anyaman, the intricate art of weaving coconut leaves into mats or decorative items—a craft that requires patience, focus, and precision.
Our village exploration continues with a demonstration of tuak (coconut wine) production and observing how Minyak Tandusan (coconut oil) is traditionally made, a staple in every Balinese kitchen.
It’s then time to get muddy with a hands-on experience of Balinese ploughing and rice planting, guided by local farmers after an introduction to the Subak irrigation system. A traditional lunch in the rice fields rewards your efforts.
