Those who want to explore the richness of Indonesian herbs and coffee should visit this newly launched destination in Tabanan, Bali.
Situated on approximately 35,000 square meters of land, Secret Garden Village is a one-stop educational and tourism site for holiday makers.
In a combination of modern and traditional Balinese architecture amid the cool weather of the Bedugul area, this complex is said to be the first travel herborist education spot in North Bali.
“The venue was officially opened on Dec. 9 by Tourism Minister Arief Yahya,” the ministry's culinary and shopping tourism acceleration team head Vita Datau Messakh told kompas.com.
