We care where we take you! Respect for the local community and environment is paramount to our mission at Ikhlas Tour.
We move away from the 'pay per click' culture. We encourage tourists to interact with communities respectfully, supporting villages that use inclusive entrance fees to avoid the hassle of aggressive photography solicitation.
Please do not give cash, pens, or water bottles to children on the street. This encourages them to skip school to beg. If you wish to help, we can assist you in donating supplies directly to local schools or orphanages.
Whether at Timket or a Bulljump ceremony, remember you are a guest at a sacred event. We prioritize the sanctity of the celebration over getting 'the perfect shot,' ensuring we leave a positive impression.
One of the best ways to help is to eat in local restaurants and buy from local shops. Stop for a 'Buna' (coffee) or 'Ambo' water at a roadside café. By spreading your spending, you ensure that the economic benefits of tourism reach beyond the major hotels.
