Our exclusive Bali Village Stays are the ultimate in "meet-the-people " experiences. Choose from our one-night "Village Life" package, or our three-night "Village & Beach Life" combination package. During the Bali Village Stay, you'll share meals with the local villagers, visit a village elementary school and participate in farming activities. You'll have the option of staying overnight in the village compound, or of staying at a nearby boutique hotel. Whichever package you choose, we promise you a memorable time - one which very few tourists will ever experience. Village Life Day 1 - Transfer from most areas of Bali, to the mountain village of Pacut. Along the way you'll see the spectacular rice fields of Jatiluwih. You'll also visit Batukaru mountain temple. This evening you'll join the villagers for dinner. You'll also enjoy entertainment by the village gamelan orchestra, as well as a performance of the Mask Dance. Feel free to join the dance, or to participate in playing the gamelan instruments. Overnight stay at the village, or at Villa Yeh Panes Hotel, located 20 minutes from the village. Day 2 - After breakfast at the village compound, you'll have a lesson in how to make a temple offering. Then travel to another village, where you'll visit a local elementary school (subject to the school schedule). After the school visit, return to your home base to assist in preparing traditional tools for use by the farmers. You'll then be invited to participate in planting or cultivating rice - or simply observe the farmers at work. Then take a short trek back to the village for a traditional lunch. In the late afternoon, transfer to the airport, or to your hotel in most areas of Bali. Prices: Village & Beach Life Day 1 - Transfer from most areas of Bali, to the mountain village of Pacut.
