"Our most popular tour is called the Poelang Kampoeng Tour," village operational manager Sudi H Adiarto.
Poelang Kampoeng (the former spelling of pulang kampung) means "homecoming".
The tour is a walking tour through the village, where villagers
will teach visitors skills such as cooking kue bugis (traditional cake)
and traditional ginger drink, making puppets from cassava leaves,
planting rice and bathing buffalo.
Visitors can also learn gamelan (traditional orchestra) and traditional Sundanese songs.
The Pancawati village, which is open to visitors everyday, is home to 600 families who work as farmers and vegetable vendors.
The tour, which costs Rp 150,000 per person, usually takes about six hours, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
"Although there is no live-in program in this village, visitors can
still interact with villagers because many of them work as our tour
guides," Sudi.
