Sidemen Valley: Weaving & Rice Terrace Culture

About This Experience

Sidemen Valley remains one of Bali's best-kept secrets—a place where rice terraces cascade down hillsides and the pace of life follows the rhythm of ceremonies and harvests. This experience connects you with local weavers who've practiced their craft for generations, creating intricate songket textiles using techniques passed down through families. You'll spend mornings learning basic weaving patterns, afternoons exploring terraced landscapes, and evenings sharing meals with host families.
