Introducing Our New Bali Trekking Tours: A Journey Through Nature and Culture

As a tour company focused on sharing Indonesia’s wonders with visitors, the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges. During the lockdown, we took the opportunity to rethink our approach to tourism in Bali. We aimed to create tours that not only cater to foreign tastes but also emphasize skill development, community involvement, and sustainability. This ed to the development of our new Bali Trekking Tours, crafted with the help of our dedicated team and local partners. These tours offer a unique blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and ecological appreciation, promising an unforgettable experience for travelers.

The Allure of Bali Beyond the Beaches

While Bali is famous for its stunning beaches, the island’s true beauty lies in its diverse landscapes. From verdant rice terraces to towering volcanoes, Bali offers a paradise for trekkers and nature enthusiasts. Our tours are designed to showcase these hidden gems, providing an immersive experience that highlights the island’s ecological diversity and cultural richness. By venturing off the beaten path, travelers can discover the authentic side of Bali that few get to see.

Top Trekking Spots

Mount Batur: A Sunrise Spectacle…or is it? Our alternative

One of the most popular trekking destinations in Bali is Mount Batur, an active volcano offering a One of the most popular trekking destinations in Bali is Mount Batur, an active volcano that offers a spectacular sunrise view over Lake Batur. This trek is often undertaken by hundreds, if not thousands of people. The trek begins in the early morning hours, theoretically allowing hikers to reach the summit just in time to see the sunrise. But with a single winding trail, and all the other people on the trail, it can often take many hours longer than expected to reach the summit. This light-moderate trek is accessible to most fitness levels and incredibly popular. We can arrange these tours upon request. BUT we chose to include lesser visited peaks in our trips – with Batukaru being a favorite. It is far less developed for tourists, often with 20-30 at most. It is a bit more of a moderately challenging hike, lasting another hour. But very much worth it.

Ubud’s Rice Terraces: A Walk Through Tradition…or the new tradition of over-tourism.

The rice terraces of Ubud are a testament to Bali’s agricultural heritage and a visual feast for the eyes. But also surrounded by tourist shops selling kitsch, owned by outsiders and creating a rather disappoint experience. Instead we focus on the hills and area around Jatihluwih, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases the island’s ancient Subak irrigation system. Walking through these terraces offers a serene and picturesque experience, with opportunities to interact with local farmers and learn about traditional rice cultivation practices.

Hidden Gems

West Bali National Park: An Untouched Wilderness

For those seeking a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, the West Bali National Park offers a pristine natural environment teeming with wildlife. This lesser-known gem is home to the critically endangered Bali Starling and a variety of other unique species. Guided tours through the park provide insights into the region’s biodiversity and conservation efforts, making it an ideal destination for eco-conscious travelers.

Munduk Waterfalls: A Cascading Adventure

The village of Munduk, nestled in the highlands of Bali, is surrounded by a series of stunning waterfalls that offer a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. The Red Coral Waterfall Trail, also known as the Golden Valley Trek, takes you through lush forests and past cascading waterfalls, providing a tranquil setting for nature lovers. This moderately challenging trek is perfect for those looking to explore Bali’s natural beauty away from the crowds.

Preparation Tips

To ensure a safe and enjoyable trekking experience, it’s essential to be well-prepared. Here are some practical tips for your Bali trekking adventure:

• Pack Smart: Bring essentials such as water, snacks, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A small backpack will help keep your hands free during the trek.
