My family and I had a great time at Leksa Ganesha making Batik art for the first time and giving it a go with Indonesian cooking. Thank you all at Leksa for making our experience in Yogya a memorable one!

Booked: A Day of Batik & Culinary Magic in a Local Village

we had a great day, it was so much fun trying the Batik technique at Leksa Ganesha's! Everyone there is super nice and friendly and helpful. We had some good coffee and were shown around the village before we started the cooking class. The food we prepared was delicious! We even got a video of ourselves working on our Batik fabrics and cooking. I can strongly recommend this event! Thank you for the great experience!

Booked: Cook with Bali's Freshest | Local Market & Organic Farm

Fantastic experience, knowledgable and friendly hosts. The market visit and farm tour were interesting and I learned a great deal about Balinese food. The cooking class was well organised, fun and delicious! The hosts spoke perfect english and catered for our vegetarian diet. The recipes we made were simple but a great showcase of Balinese food. The cooking area was clean and very well set up. A wonderful farm-to-table experience that I would recommend to everyone.
