Mountain Cycling Tour Bali: Kintamani to Ubud with Lunch

Summary

Bali Bike Adventure: Villages, Rice Fields & Local Life

You’ll cycle from Kintamani with Mount Batur views, glide through real Balinese villages, taste local fruit, and finish with a good meal—all guided by locals who know every shortcut and story.

What’s the experience like?

The air up in Kintamani’s hills felt cool on my face as we unloaded the bikes—Mount Batur looming quietly behind us. Our guide, Wayan, handed out helmets and ran through the basics. He even double-checked everyone’s brakes and gears, which I appreciated since I hadn’t cycled in ages. There was a faint smell of wood smoke drifting from a nearby warung where locals were already busy with breakfast prep.

The ride itself? Mostly downhill—easy enough for beginners but still lively. We coasted through tiny Balinese villages where kids waved and roosters darted across the road. At one stop, Wayan pointed out a temple older than my grandparents and let us try some fresh rambutan from a roadside stall. The bamboo forest at Taro was something else—tall stalks creaking overhead, sunlight flickering through like a slow disco ball. By the time we reached the restaurant for lunch (the nasi campur was spot-on), my legs were tired but happy.
