Detailed description of our full day Mt Batur/Kintamani Downhill Cycling Tour

Feeling like the beaches, party life or shopping in Bali has taken too much toll on you during your holiday? Search no further, hop on the bike and join the cycling discovery route of Bali’s amazing countryside – not just mere adventure, but also a cultural, ecological, historical and culinary experience in one!

Your 3 hour long cycling tour is preceded with safety briefing conducted by your cycling tour leader. The downhill route will lead you past valleys and forests with prolific greenery, plantations of Bali staple crops (cocoa, vanilla, cloves, coffee, vegetables and fruits), lush green rice paddies, hidden Hindu shrines with sacred Banyan trees, minor back roads and tranquil Balinese settlements unmarked by time.

Our cycling tour Bali aims to educate and familiarize you with traits of living in such inland remote villages, the essence of rice agriculture (planting, growing, harvesting and processing rice), the cultural aspects and role of family in contemporary Balinese society and the importance of Hindu beliefs with endless ceremonies and offerings in temples.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a ceremony in progress, the invitation to witness the ceremony is usually extended by the villagers and the guide will oblige with advice on the respective rituals.

The relaxed pace of this cycling tour will allow many stops upon request to cherish the bliss of the moment, take photos of the beautiful surroundings or meet the local people.

Everywhere along the route you will be greeted by friendly grins from local farmers and hellos yelled by jovial bunches of adorable children.

After working up an appetite, your cycling tour will end with a tasty Balinese lunch hosted by a local family in a traditional village near Bali’s cultural centre, Ubud.
