During the walk, they will share their personal knowledge and stories, giving you an authentic understanding of what life is really like in their community.
Rather than following a fixed tourist route, the experience follows the natural pathways of their village and countryside, allowing you to discover Mayong through a genuinely local perspective.
Walk Through the Real Mayong Village
The walking experience takes you along quiet village paths, through rice fields, plantations, gardens, traditional farming areas, and the surrounding tropical countryside.

- Native vegetation and the importance of plants in village life
- Fruit trees, spices, herbs, and other plants growing around local homes and farms

- How village homes, gardens, farms, and community spaces are connected
- Everyday family life and community traditions
- Balinese customs, beliefs, ceremonies, and cultural values
- The relationship between the people, the land, and the surrounding natural environment
This is an opportunity to ask questions, stop along the way, observe local activities, take photographs, and simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.
Return Home for an Authentic Balinese Lunch
After exploring the village and countryside, return to Putu and Ria’s family home for a truly authentic Balinese lunch.
