Visit a Local School

Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a rock star?

 

Then just pay a visit to our local school, where throngs of school children will giggle and shriek at the foreigners visiting their school for an English language lesson, and to take a photo with them. We don't charge anything for this, however, we ask that you bring with you something to donate to the school to assist the children in their studies:

 

Items that are useful and often in short supply include: pens, pencils, workbooks and beginners English language tools are always appreciated.

This is a wonderful way to support the Balinese community and give back to them during your stay here.

Hike Mount Batu Karu

Gunung Batu Karu is Bali's second-highest mountain at 2,276m. Batukaru is worshipped by the Balinese and has a temple, Pura Luhur Batukaru devoted to it. Your start point will be a smaller local temple at the beginning of the rainforest line. The ascent to the top can be as long as a 5-hour hike, a total of 8hrs return. 

Most guests will keep it short and only walk 1 hour each way.

 

The thick foliage and dense canopy prevents views and acts like a giant sound dampener. This eerie effect produced when clouds pass through gives another worldly feel, as though you are in an Elven forest from the Lord of the Rings. 

​

Price Starts From: Rp 700,000 for the first 5 hrs 

                                 Rp60,000 per additional hour
