Overview

About this journey

Munduk: Taste of the Northern Highlands is a two-day escape into the cool clove and coffee hills of Munduk, blending cultural heritage, local flavors, nature, and mountain relaxation. Discover the art of coffee through an exclusive plantation tour and specialty cupping, followed by a hands-on Balinese cooking class and lunch. Enjoy a peaceful stay surrounded by cool mountain views, then venture into Munduk’s lush clove plantations on a guided waterfall trek. Complete your journey with a scenic lunch overlooking the mountains and valleys.

Why we built it this way

Munduk was the Dutch hill station, and it still feels like a place to breathe. Coffee is the thread: you cook with people who grow it, taste it at the plantation, and walk through the trees the next morning to waterfalls that thunder after rain.
