GBT Village Partners are the heart and soul of The Great Bali Trail. GBT Village Partners are the local communities in the villages who host each stage. They provide key functions as GBT stewards to maintain the trail, and benefit from the trail.

As Team idGuides, local communities provide a key operational role as your hosts, trail guides, drivers, and provide a full range of services for all visitors, whether you are hiking for the day, or an a multi-day trek or expedition.

Local communities are also GBT stewards are the engine-room of The GBT Impact Model.
