About this tour

A 7–9 hour downhill cycling tour through the quieter slopes of Kintamani, descending from highland villages through forest and farmland into terraced rice paddies.

Hotel pickup from Ubud included, with a guide who knows the villages personally.

What to expect

You'll start early from your hotel and head to Kintamani's higher reaches by car. Once on the bike, it's mostly downhill—follow your guide through quiet patches of forest, past family compounds where you'll see craftspeople at work, then into the patchwork of rice fields that define the landscape. The pace is easy; you'll stop frequently to chat with locals and photograph the views. Lunch happens in someone's home, cooked fresh while you rest. Expect dusty shoes, good conversation, and the occasional curious child asking where you're from.
