"Rich culture, many amazing sights and truly lovely people are what takes Bali sheer delight to another Level"
Day 1: Arrive Denpasar
Arrival at the Bali Airport. Meet the tour representative who helps you with an assisted transfer to the hotel. As you are at the airport, notice that it is a wonderful example of traditional culture, simplicity, and modernity. Continue to the hotel. After completing the check-in formalities, the day is now at leisure. Explore this beautiful and tranquil island on your own. Overnight stay in Bali.
Day 2: Butur Volcano
Post breakfast, move to Penulisan on the rim of the Batur crater for the start of our first ride. The first part of the trail is on a broken tarmac road with spectacular views of the Batur Volcanic cone and on a clear day Mt. Abang and Mt. Agung in the distance. We turn onto jeep tracks and easy single track to the village of Pinggan where we have a well-earned lunch. A short sharp descent takes us to the base of the volcanic cone, and we spend the afternoon riding around the base of the volcano on narrow sandy trails. With the last part of the trail crossing the latest lava field, there is ample opportunity to get a close up of the volcano and the strange moonscapes that it has created. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Cycling distance - 35km
Day 3: Ride Mt Abang and Mt Agung
This day is your chance to see the unseen! First, we’ll take you from Abang to the east coast with a ride starting at the edge of the Batur Crater. From there, you’ll head downhill on jeep tracks for 8 km before turning east and climbing steadily through 10 km pine forests to the top of a mountain pass between Mt. Abang and Mt. Agung. At this point, lunch will be served. The exhilarating descent to the east coast finds us cruising by dry river beds and through cashew-nut plantations. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Cycling distance - 35km
Day 4: Ride Mt Agung to Perasi Beach
The start of the ride manages to steer a reasonably flat route around the side of Mt. Agung via a network of single-track paths that weave their way through shady coconut and bamboo groves. We continue on through stone cutting and carving villages and rock quarries until we reach the ruins of a water palace at Jungutan. With incredible views over the rice paddies, we enjoy our packed lunch. The afternoon ride continues on down through some of the finest rice paddy scenery in Bali ending on a beautiful white sand beach where a cool refreshing drink awaits. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Cycling distance - 35km
Day 5: Ride Perasi Beach to Ubud
Today’s ride starts high up on the slopes of Mt. Agung and descends along a tarmac ridge with spectacular views along the south coast on a clear day. We then enter a large Salak fruit growing area where we weave our way through plantations and stone carving villages until we reach Muncan. We have lunch and then transfer to Ubud and the late afternoon is free to stroll around this artistic town. There are many fine restaurants to choose from in Ubud so dinner this evening is your own choice. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Cycling distance - 35km
Day 6: Ride Ubud loop ride
In the morning we'll explore the rice paddies and off-road trails around Ubud. We'll stop for a local lunch and return to Ubud in time for an optional rafting trip or to relax by the pool. Rafting is an extra charge but can be arranged through your guide, just let the guide know the day before. We meet up for dinner in town. Overnight stay at the hotel.
