Help Us Care for Animals at the Lombok Cultural House
The experience
Our house was built with an eco-living concept. This building is steeped in the cultural philosophy of the Sasak people of Lombok.
We implement ecol living concept to our daily lives. Every day, we care for a pair of geese, a cute dog, and a small number of ducks.

Program Details
Caring for animals and plants is a form of self-therapy.
Here, you can learn many things, meet local people, and of course, learn about the local culture and language.
Lombok and Bali have a strong connection in language and culture. Geographical location influences these values.
Here, you'll see Hindus going to their places of worship every day, watch children dancing and playing traditional music like gamelan, learn about the local Lombok culture (Sasak), cooking traditional Indonesian cuisine, and learn about buildings with Lombok's cultural philosophy.
Not only will you care for animals, but you'll also gain valuable experiences with nature and culture.
Join us, we look forward to seeing you! :)
