We had a unique experience in Balay Indang, The Red Ginger Farm and Garden, located in San Juan Street, Mahabang Kahoy Cerca, Indang Cavite. It was very peaceful & very relaxing. I can say its a perfect place for thinking, soul searching and communing with nature.
We got there by commuting. From Baclaran, take a bus going to Tagaytay (will take about 2 hours and a half) and get down to Olivares Terminal. Ride a jeep going to Indang (will take almost an hour). You may ask the jeepney driver to drop you there.

| Balay's Sign Board. Don't miss it. :) |
The Balay's sign is really not that big and its painted on wood so it blends with the trees behind it.
 |
| The Steel Framed Wooden Gate: Get in and escape the city's noise |
 |
| Now where to go... |
Since we were kind of late for lunch, we headed to the Balay first to eat.

They also gave us a pitcher of orange juice and water for refreshment. For just 2 persons, this lunch is too much! We were so full. Good thing we are still going to walk around to burn what we ate.

They also have a two storey tree house with an open cellar, but I was not able to get a picture of it outside. It is open for visitors. You may take a nap there after a festive lunch. Its made up of wood & walls were made up of net to maintain the cool breeze. It has relaxing couches inside.
