East Bali Countryside & Volcano Downhill Cycling Guide

The Route: From Volcano to Valley

Starting in the cool highlands of Kintamani with breakfast overlooking Mount Batur, the route winds down through pine forests, bamboo groves, and traditional farming settlements.

Suitable for All Fitness Levels

Because the route is 90% gentle downhill on paved backroads, it requires very little pedaling effort and is thoroughly enjoyed by riders aged 7 to 70.

Authentic Village Encounters

Take breaks inside authentic family courtyards, watch artisans hand-weave lontar palm baskets, and finish with a home-cooked Balinese lunch.
