Travel Tips
Dress respectfully — a sarong will be provided at the entrance. The village is genuinely inhabited, not a reconstruction — behave as a respectful guest. The bamboo forest at the village end is peaceful and photogenic. Purchase locally-made palm wine (loloh) and traditional snacks to support the community.
