A Day in the Life of a Balinese Farmer

Spend a day living a traditional local farmer's life.
After breakfast, meet your driver and set off from your hotels to Tabanan, a beautiful area of rolling green landscapes, terraced rice fields and huge mountains.
On arrival in the village you will be welcomed by local farmers. Chat together over a healthy drink and learn how how rituals and prayer play an important role in their lives. They will explain about Subak, an age-old, ingenious irrigation system that gives everybody water rights so all rice fields receive water all year long. See how coconut oil is produced and how to bake traditional Balinese cake.

After coffee and some of the delicious cake, join one of the farmers on a walk through the rice fields. Help out with the daily chores either planting, transplanting or harvesting the rice, depending on the season. After the hard work refresh yourself with a young coconut drink and then walk to a traditional Balinese house for lunch. Return to your hotel in the afternoon.
