Escape from the tourist center to the cooler climates of Bali Mountain region. Sobek Cycling using brand new mountain bikes and safety equipment, the downhill trail from Mount Batur will lead you through sleepy villages along little-used roads and tracks.
Batur Cycling
The great thing about the Batur Cycling is that it`s virtually all down hill. The Southern two thirds of Bali is one big downhill slope, falling away from the mountains in the north, quickly at first and the gradually.
Frequent stops along the way will give you the opportunity to visit temples, plantations and villages that offer an insight into Bali that is not commonly seen. Young boys cut grass to feed the family cow whilst weathered old men gossip at the roadside stall sipping glasses of aromatic mountain ground coffee. An air-conditioned escort vehicle is on standby at the end of your trip to take you to enjoy a replenishing buffet luncheon before returning to your hotel.
All our guides come from the surrounding regions and are trained to entertain and educate with a broad depth of knowledge in Balinese culture and lifestyle. If you only do one tour whilst in Bali, this is the one, packed with interest, education and fun.
