The Bali Sustainable Culture Tour by Electric Vehicle is a thoughtfully designed full-day journey for travelers who want to experience Bali in a more responsible, cultural, and meaningful way. Combining heritage, village life, nature, and sustainability, this tour highlights the beauty of Bali while promoting a lower-impact style of travel through the use of an electric vehicle.

Your day begins with a visit to Taman Ayun Temple, the royal temple of Mengwi and one of Bali’s most elegant cultural landmarks. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, wide moats, and traditional multi-tiered shrines, Taman Ayun offers a peaceful introduction to Bali’s royal heritage and temple architecture. The serene atmosphere and historical significance make it an essential stop for travelers interested in Balinese culture.

The journey continues to Rumah Desa, where guests can enjoy a deeper connection with traditional Balinese life through a series of engaging cultural activities. Here, you will be introduced to the structure of a Balinese house compound, the Balinese calendar, and the Balinese alphabet. You will also have the opportunity to write on a lontar leaf, which you may keep as a special gift. The experience becomes even more immersive with hands-on activities such as making canang sari, making boreh, and traditional coconut oil making. During your visit, you can also enjoy a relaxing coffee break with coffee, tea, or water, accompanied by local cakes such as pisang rai, laklak, or pisang goreng.

After the village experience, the tour continues to Sangeh Monkey Forest, a peaceful forest setting known for its towering nutmeg trees and natural charm. This stop provides the chance to enjoy Bali’s greener side while observing monkeys in a scenic and culturally significant environment.

The final stop is Kulkul Farm (Taani Restaurant), a partner whose sustainability values align closely with those of Tour East Indonesia / JTB. Kulkul Farm places strong emphasis on responsible sourcing and is selective in choosing ingredients, with a focus on organic produce whenever possible. The farm also runs educational programs that introduce visitors to organic farming practices. In addition, Kulkul Farm manages its own land, including free-range chicken farming, and applies good waste management practices through its composting facilities. Some of the ingredients used at the restaurant come from their own gardens, reinforcing their farm-to-table approach.

As part of their sustainability commitment, some tables at the venue are made from recycled chopsticks through ChopValue, reflecting their support for circular design and eco-conscious innovation. This partnership is especially meaningful, as JTB Tour East also uses tables sourced from ChopValue as a real expression of support for sustainability initiatives.

Here, guests will enjoy an Indonesian set menu lunch, featuring Ayam Timbungan as the main course, served with a drink and sliced fruit. The experience offers not only a delicious meal but also a deeper appreciation of how sustainability can be integrated into hospitality and dining.

This tour is ideal for travelers who seek more than just sightseeing. It offers a balanced experience of heritage, hands-on local interaction, natural beauty, and sustainable values — all delivered in a way that feels authentic, educational, and memorable.
