Lifestyle tourism

                    3days Lifestyle Tourism in Bali Island 


 Recently, green house where you can learn about agriculture in a wall-less and natural environment is getting popular in the world. In Bali, Indonesia, there is one place you can experience it. Bali is located in Southeast Asia and it's very hot all year long. The green house in Bali which is called KUL-KUL FARM seems like in a Jangle because there is lots of nature around the place. This is a three days tour package to Bali to learn agriculture and traditional lifestyle of Bali, and you will experience agricultural activities at KUL-KUL FARM while you are in Bali which is one of the most attractive countries in the world. 

A agri-tourism would be part of the "lifestyle tourism" niche which you can experience agricultural experiences in the specific areas with local people, and you can also enjoy the local foods and lifestyles. Also, there are many people from all over the world and you will communicate with them through the activities that you will do, so there are many possibilities to make you try, meet and experience something new while you are traveling. 

This tour would help people to understand how to make sustainable earth and how to survive in natural environment by escaping from the convenient lives of big city.
People can learn not only agricultural things but also variety of nationalities, languages religions and creativity through the activities with people from all over the world, and I think it is the best time to study about overseas when you are in other countries because seeing is believing and it would help your better understanding about things that you do not know yet.

Visitors can take taxi to the green house from Bali International Airport, and it will take only 20 minutes from the Airport. Also, it is 15 minutes away from Ubud which is famous tourists spot in Bali.
