Cooking:

  • our local chefs at Samakanda make incredible vegetarian curies in traditional clay pots – join in
  • learn how to make sambal, cook with coconut milk and pick what you cook
  • for large groups we can fire up the pizza oven and run pizza workshops – great fun!

 

 

 

Cycle trips down to the coast can be arranged:

  • swoop down the hill through paddy fields and past temples
  • don’t worry – we have checked the brakes!
