'Hi, I'm Wira. I'm passionate about helping rural communities in Bali thrive. I started Five Pillar Experiences to connect travelers with locals, sharing authentic cultural encounters. We also support education, waste management, and mangrove planting initiatives to create a positive impact.
Five Pillar Experiences provides sustainable tourism programs to protect and educate rural Bali. Not only that but the enterprises also fund youth skill development programs and community-based programs for the locals. The Five Pillar approach focuses on developing the community, economy, education, environment and culture of the local people while also providing a unique experience to our guests. For every person that participates in a Five Pillar Experience, a new mangrove tree is planted! Here’s your chance to make a difference
