Time to get up early and explore the pristine tropical rainforests of Central Java. In search for 4 species of monkeys (including the endangered and endemic Javan gibbon) we will learn about the majestic forest, trees and animals that call this place home and explore it by local safari jeep. Lunch is served locally sourced from the plants of the forest mixed with typical Indonesian ingredients and spices. After lunch we go back to the city to release the artist in ourselves and create our own naturally died t-shirts made with different Batik styles.
