About this tour
Trek through Tenganan, one of Bali's oldest settlements, on an eight-hour journey that winds through rice paddies beneath Mount Agung's shadow. Led by locals who know these fields intimately, you'll explore the Bali Aga culture that has shaped this region for centuries, cool off at Virgin Beach, and taste tuak—the palm wine that's been part of village life here for generations. Hotel transfers included; bring your appetite for lunch stops along the way.

- Swim at Virgin Beach, a quieter coastal escape

What to expect
You'll start early with a pickup from your accommodation, heading towards Karangasem Regency in east Bali. The trek itself follows the contours of working rice fields—genuine agricultural land, not manicured tourist paths. Expect uneven ground, occasional muddy stretches, and the rhythms of village life around you. Your guide will share stories about Bali Aga traditions, their unique governance, and how the landscape shapes daily routines. The swim at Virgin Beach offers genuine relief midway through. Wear proper footwear; bring sun protection and a light layer.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required—it's a full day on uneven terrain. Lunch isn't included, so budget for meals in the village or bring snacks. Wear shoes with grip. Bring a change of clothes for the beach swim. Children need adult supervision throughout.
