About this deal

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together. Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family. These nimble acrobats are called Toddy Tappers because when they cut the bud from a flower stem they have to tap it to encourage the sap flow to start. They then fit receptacles to collect the sap, in turn emptying these into earthenware 'clap pot' flasks fixed to their waists. Each tree is 'tapped' daily. The palm sap harbours lots of natural yeast so starts to ferment naturally soon after collection and must be distilled within hours. Distillation takes place in a column still with copper plates and the resulting distillate is aged in Sri Lankan Halmilla wood vats.

To collect the coconut flower sap, the coconut flower is beaten for three days. The toddy rapper climbs the tree and ties a container to collect the sap. Then the sap is drained through a small cut made on the flower. The fermentation begins naturally because of the yeast and sugar present in the sap. It is then distilled to desired alcohol levels. Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.It's speculated that Indonesians learned distillation from Chinese traders: the Chinese have been distilling alcohol since at least the 1100s and some suggest since long before then. However, aren palm distillation is a simple process - the sap, which is already fermented when it is drawn from the tree, is heated in a vat below bamboo tubes, with only the first few bottles drawn off and the waste discarded - so it's possible that it developed independently. Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
