What's included in The Secrets of Stunning Bali
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
With transportation waiting in front of your hotel early in the morning, your English-speaking guide for the day welcomes you for a day out and about through the rural western region of your Indonesian holiday destination. As soon as we leave the main road, you will enter a totally different world from what you may know. Our first stop will be Pejaten Village, where almost half of its residents make their living in making roof tiles the old-fashioned way. The village is recognized as one of Bali’s best-known places for top-quality ceramics.
Where families work and live, markets are an essential part of getting fresh produce for the daily needs; the one of Kerambitan, albeit small, forms a visual example of how local trading thrives. We enter the plantation district where particularly the cocoa plantations near Pesagi Village are giving visitors a good insight in the labour needed to get to the final product.
Pura Dalem Bentuyung Temple
It will be time for a coffee break at the Dalem Gadungan Temple. It is here where your guide will get into the details of how Balinese see life after death and explain the cremation procedures.
