Programme Details
Wake up in the morning and drive to the traditional village Sidemen in East Bali. Some of the Balinese refer to this village as the Switzerland of Indonesia due to the beautiful panoramic views of its mountains and rice fields. Be greeted by friendly locals and go on a cultural treasure hunt to discover the secrets of Balinese tradition.
Walk down to a local house where a cup of Balinese coffee or tea is served. Then learn about Balinese letters and try to write Balinese on palm leaf, a technique called Lontar. The expert will help to decipher a parchment code. Walk around the village to search and solve clues and puzzles. Witness traditional weaving techniques and solve a quiz. Create religious offerings, try to understand the secrets about the layout of a typical Balinese compound and apply what is learnt to solve other riddles.
After a local lunch continue the search for the last clue that will lead to a treasure hidden at a sacred temple surrounded by panoramic views of Sidemen Village. Bring the treasure home as a gift. (L)
