What if your next group trip didn’t just take your community somewhere beautiful—but also gave back in a meaningful, lasting way?

Meet Kaura, a one-of-a-kind glamping retreat tucked into the lush hills of East Bali. This newly launched TrovaTrip itinerary was designed with intention, impact, and connection at its core—offering Hosts a powerful new way to bring their communities together through travel that truly matters.

Built in partnership with Discova and the local villagers of Manggis, Kaura is more than a place to stay. It’s a community-powered initiative where sustainable tourism directly supports local livelihoods, education, and long-term resilience.

More Than a Retreat—A Purpose-Driven Experience

Kaura was created as a holistic model for positive impact, rooted in four key pillars:

  • Hospitality - You and your Travelers stay in eco-friendly glamping accommodations surrounded by jungle-covered hills and rice terraces—cared for by members of the local community.
  • Culinary Connection - Farm-to-table meals and hands-on cooking classes spotlight local ingredients while supporting women-led groups and nearby farmers.
  • Education - Visits to the Kaura Bali Learning Hub show travelers how tourism supports English and technology education for local children, youth, and women.
  • Community Enterprise - From organic rice farming to coconut oil wellness products and small-scale goat farming, Kaura fuels sustainable, locally owned businesses.

This isn’t just travel...it’s a living example of how tourism can preserve culture, empower communities, and create shared value.

Community at the Heart of the Journey

Kaura was born out of real need. Seasonal landslides once damaged irrigation canals, making farming unreliable and forcing families to leave their land.

Through collaboration between Discova and the community, a durable irrigation system was built, organic rice farming was revived, and new income streams emerged—from women-led cooperatives to greenhouse-grown vegetables.

Today, Kaura stands as proof of what’s possible when travel supports long-term community resilience.

Experiences Your Travelers Will Never Forget
