Mount Batur to Ubud – Soft Adventure Cycling

About this tour

Pedal from Mount Batur's slopes down through rural Bali on quiet village lanes, passing terraced rice fields and local communities over roughly 4 hours of riding. You'll stop at a neighbourhood temple, chat with villagers, sample seasonal fruit and traditional snacks, and finish in Ubud. A support vehicle shadows the group, and all bikes come fitted with suspension, protective gear, and dropper posts. Hotel pickups cover Seminyak, Kuta, Nusa Dua, Canggu, Sanur, Legian and Ubud.

What to expect

Expect mostly gentle riding on unsealed or patchy roads threading between villages—nothing technical, but you'll need steady bike handling for occasional potholes and uneven surfaces. Descents are short and walkable if needed. The pace suits anyone doing regular exercise; cardiovascular fitness matters more than technical skill. You'll roll through working farmland, stop to photograph and meet locals keen to chat, visit a functioning temple, and nibble on whatever's ripe and what locals eat. Lunch breaks the ride midway. Wear layers—mornings are cool at altitude, afternoons warm.
