Bali Cooking Classes From Legian
Staying in Legian and looking for a real Balinese cooking experience, not a short hotel demo or buffet lesson?
We run our classes on an organic farm in a small village near Ubud. It feels like rural Bali, with rice fields and village life, yet it still works well as a day trip from Legian if we plan the timing.
Most guests who join our cooking classes from Legian either:
- Combine a day in Ubud with the cooking class, or
- Join the Morning Class, then spend the rest of the day in Ubud
Legian is great for the beach, shopping, and sunset bars.
Taman Dukuh is where we slow the pace, walk the farm, and share how Balinese food really begins, straight from the soil.
Daily Class Times
We host three Balinese cooking sessions every day:
- Morning Class: 07:30 to 14:00
- Afternoon Class: 12:30 to 18:00
- Evening Class: 16:00 to 21:00
From Legian:
- Afternoon and Evening usually offer the easiest schedule
- Morning works well if you like an early start and plan to stay in Ubud after class
Travel Time From Legian
The drive from Legian to our farm near Ubud usually takes:
- Around 1.5 to 2 hours in normal traffic
- A little longer in busy periods
To keep the day relaxed, we suggest you combine activities, not just drive to the farm and back.
