About this tour

What to expect
The route is almost entirely downhill, so cycling fitness matters less than balance and confidence on a bike. You'll start in the cool air of Kintamani and warm progressively as elevation drops. Expect unpaved sections alongside sealed roads, village children waving from doorways, and the smell of burning wood smoke. Your guide will pause regularly—at a working temple where locals may be making offerings, inside someone's home compound where you'll see daily life unfold, and among rice fields where farmers work. Lunch is simple, local food taken indoors away from the heat.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Bring sun protection and sturdy footwear even though you're on a bike—you'll walk short stretches. Morning departures mean cooler riding conditions. The support vehicle carries anyone who needs it.
