Experience the heart of East Bali’s regenerative traditions
Begin the adventure in a charming coastal village in the Klungkung region, where the age-old tradition of salt-making comes to life.
Guided by Pak Nyoman Warta, a passionate local farmer dedicated to preserving this craft, you’ll step into the daily rhythm of salt production. Roll up your sleeves and take part in the hands-on process—leveling the sand, pouring seawater over it, and carefully spreading it across coconut trunk stalls to dry under the tropical sun. As the final step, experience the satisfaction of scraping off the crystallized salt with a coconut shell, transforming nature’s gift into pure, glistening granules.
This intimate experience offers not just a glimpse into Bali’s heritage but also a chance to connect with the hardworking communities keeping these traditions alive.
After this fascinating experience, you will head to another nearby village for a deeper cultural immersion. A short 30-minute drive takes you to your next stop, where you can savor a cup of authentic Balinese coffee or tea, paired with Laklak—a delicious traditional pancake. As you indulge, take in the serene beauty of the surrounding rice fields. Unlike regular pancakes, Laklak is crafted using time-honored methods to enhance its rich and authentic flavors.
Next, join a Balinese chef in preparing a traditional lunch infused with aromatic spices. This hands-on culinary experience offers a wonderful opportunity to explore how Bali’s natural ingredients blend to create flavorful dishes that showcase the island’s rich cultural and culinary heritage.
After lunch, take a leisurely walk through the village to see how the locals manage their farms while maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. You will learn how they live in harmony with nature, guided by the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes the balance between human relations with the divine, with nature, and with each other. As you explore, you will notice how this philosophy is reflected in their farming practices, daily life, and deep respect for the environment.
This journey provides more than just insight into Bali’s agricultural practices—it fosters a deeper appreciation for the island’s cultural values and environmental awareness.
