"Bali is not just a place to see, but a way of life to understand."
Our Philosophy

We designed askPanji to be an AI Tourist Information Assistance that helps you navigate this depth with a human touch, context, and deep respect for local roots.

Our Vision & Mission
We are building more than just software. We are building a digital guardian for Balinese culture.
Preservation
To digitally preserve the oral traditions, folklore, and "Kearifan Lokal" (local wisdom) of North Bali so they are accessible to future generations and respectful visitors.
Connection
To create meaningful connections between travelers and locals, moving beyond transaction-based tourism to value-based experiences.
Sustainability
To distribute tourism traffic evenly across Buleleng, reducing over-tourism in hotspots and boosting the economy of remote villages.
The Legend of Ki Barak Panji
Ni Luh Pasek from Panji Village in Buleleng served as a royal attendant to Dalem Saganing. The King fell in love with her, and she became pregnant. Wishing to reward the loyalty of Arya Jelantik, the King entrusted the pregnant Ni Luh Pasek to him, with the agreement that the child would be raised as his own.
In due time, a boy was born with a miraculous light on his head—a divine sign of future power and glory. He was named Ki Barak Panji. As he grew, his charisma and strength were so great that they even caused concern among those who feared his future influence.
One night at the palace, the King witnessed a beam of light from the head of a sleeping child and marked him with chalk. The next day, it was revealed to be Ki Barak Panji. Recognizing his divine destiny, Dalem Saganing hoped that Ki Barak Panji would rise to become a great ruler of Bali Dwipa. He eventually became the legendary founder of the Buleleng Kingdom.
