Welcome to the Ticket to the Moon Lodge!

The TTTM Hammock Lodge is a one-of-a-kind destination on the island of Bali. The Lodge brings together a vibrant community of locals and travelers alike, located high on Mount Agung. Through teamwork with three nearby villages, a melting pot of explorers has access to exciting outdoor activities. Feel free to partake in action-packed mountain biking or downhill biking. Visitors hoping to soak in the fresh mountain air can enjoy beautiful hikes through the pinewood forests atop Mount Agung—or climb skyward on a 30-meter rock wall. Whether your pace is leisurely or more adventurous, there are plenty of things to keep you busy. 

Opportunities for cultural immersion are just a stone’s throw away. Visitors can explore the nearby Pura Pasar—a Hindu mainstay of the region—and enjoy panoramic views at an elevation of 1500 meters. Those with culinary flair can learn to cook traditional Balinese dishes, or opt to visit the Lodge’s organic restaurant. Mount Agung’s agriculture is a defining feature of the region; explorers can tour coffee and cocoa plantations where crops are still farmed using traditional methods.

Enjoying a fun-filled day on Agung is remarkably easy, but what if visitors need to rest? We built the TTTM Lodge in a location renowned for its natural beauty. This scenery is on full display from within each wooden gazebo, which houses four modern hammocks. Visitors are encouraged to blissfully kick up their feet and swing comfortably. The nearby campground is a lively setting where visitors exchange names and stories. The stars come out to play at nightfall, inspiring campers to gather around a communal campfire. There’s nothing better than an evening view of the city lights from Mount Agung.

Overcoming Natural Disasters

Bali’s economy is largely driven by tourism. Unfortunately, major volcanic activity over the past two years has kept many visitors away. Mount Agung is the largest of Bali’s three volcanoes and is the only one currently active. These events have affected local farmers and Agung villagers the most. Farmers lost a majority of their crops, livestock, and any potential tourism revenue.

Meanwhile, visitors on the mountain were evacuated for several months before rebuilding could take place. The spirit of Bali’s citizens has remained remarkably strong during the region’s recovery. Smiles and positivity have endured through it all, and we wouldn’t expect anything less. 

The Lodge is our way to accelerate the region’s growth while energizing the Balinese community. One hundred percent of generated revenue goes directly to local villagers. Many of our own employees and their families hail from affected areas. Our heart goes out to everyone impacted. Simply put, working alongside local communities is the right thing to do. Bali’s sense of community is special, and that optimism is sure to strengthen for years to come.
