Introducing Bajawa
The main attraction of Bajawa is the chance to get out into the countryside and explore the traditional villages. It is certainly possible to visit the area alone, but you’ll learn a lot more about the culture and customs (like the caste system) with a good guide, and some will organise meals in their home villages or treks across the countryside. The main difference is their proficiency in English (a few also know a little Dutch, German and/or French). You’re likely to have prospective guides approach you in your hotel, or in the restaurants Camellia and Lucas.

The edition of the book that I bought at Hotel Rima was in English, so you should be able to find it in English somewhere too.
