About this experience
A day designed to be understood, not just visited.
Participants walk the main lane of Penglipuran Traditional Village, one of the most orderly and well-kept traditional villages in Bali, and learn its architecture and spatial planning directly from residents.
The visit can be extended with a tree planting program at the Sekar Anugrah garden in Penglipuran: growing media, planting and care technique, and how the seedlings are followed up after the group leaves.
Participants also take home a plant they potted themselves. The day closes with a Balinese meal.

Sustainability impact
Supporting a village-led model
Penglipuran's reputation for order and cleanliness comes from generations of community governance rather than an outside program. Visiting supports that model directly.
The planting program is run with the Sekar Anugrah garden, which handles ongoing care and monitoring of what groups plant, so it is not a one-day photo activity.
Any program can be combined with a CSR or community-support component, matched to what the host village actually needs at the time of your visit.
