A Day of Batik & Culinary Magic in a Local Village

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! 

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!
