FAQ

Is the village "real" or just for tourists?

It is very real. While they welcome visitors, these are active residential communities. The people you meet are living their daily lives—farming, cooking, and raising families—just as their ancestors did.

Can I bring my children?

Absolutely! The Sasak people are incredibly family-oriented. Children usually find the stick-fighting demonstrations and the free-roaming farm animals fascinating.

Is there an entrance fee?

There may be a small local entrance or parking fee, depending on the specific viewpoint area.
