Bali's Gorgeous Nature Through Mountain Biking
Take in the glorious mountain scenery of Bali. Stop at the
hill to discover the amazing landscape of Mount Agung (the
highest mountain in Bali), Nusa Penida island and the surrounding
countryside of Candi Dasa. Ask your tour operator about using
Bali's new mountain bikes and safety equipment with cold towels
and lunch included.
Starting high in the mountains at the village of Mayungan,
this 25 kilometre ride winds its way down along valleys, passing
temples and shrines and criss-crossing golden rice fields
through landscape unchanged for a thousand years. You can
see Balinese culture and customs while you pass through the
timeless countryside, arriving finally at the famous Monkey
Forest Temple at Sangeh.
Batur
A two and a half hour downhill adventure on the Batur trail.
Beginning with breakfast near the scenic lake of this still
active volcano, venture off the main routes through little-used
paths and sacred back roads leading through the rainforest.
Along the way, stop off at small mountain villages to take
a look at traditional Bali life before finishing with lunch
in the picturesque of Ubud.
Batu Karu
See the splendor of ancient Bali with a two hour descent of
the Batu Karu Trail. A leisurely trip through the rural heartland
of Bali is the ideal way to see this tropical island as it
really is. Visiting these ancient villages and farming centers
provides a unique insight into the ways of old Bali, where
knowledge is passed from generation to generation and still
in use today. After the trip, enjoy lunch and a complimentary
massage or spa at Yeh Panes.
Campuan Ridge
This is not just an opportunity to travel down beautiful mountain
trails, it is an encounter with a Bali that most travelers
never see. The route is through villages that have only recently
acquired electricity and where steel and concrete are still
rare.
Tradition abounds in the elegantly carved temples and the
rustic family compounds that glide by. There are also countless
opportunities to meet the locals, to stop for a while and
enjoy a refreshing drink of young coconut water while chatting
with farmers or wood carvers.
