About Program
Experience a whole new meaning of the word "traditional" through the sustainable ways of a tight-knit community that puts forward knowledge and harmony.
In a quiet little village surrounded by lush greens, you have a unique opportunity to be completely immersed in the local culture, whether through its traditional music and dance or the scrumptious delicacies in their weekly classes. This allows for a cultural exchange unlike any other, as you will also share your knowledge and experience with the local youths through fun workshop sessions. You will also get involved in their ongoing social projects, most notably sustainable farming in their permaculture garden.
With so many activities in store and an area that boasts treks into stunning caves and waterfalls, you will never be short of exciting things to do!
