14.Sidemen Trekking: A Walk from a Different Perspective

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 94 reviews · from $13Best value

Walk for about two hours from Sidemen Traditional Market through village lanes, rice paddies, irrigation paths, and a motorbike-sized wooden bridge. Guides such as Adi, Darya, Daria, Wayan, and Adidas explain Balinese farming, religion, food, and village life. The route is easy in effort but needs balance on narrow, sometimes slippery paths.

“The tour was fun and informative. We learned a lot about the negative changes in Bali. It is truly awful that Bali is degenerating into a pub and that everyone is after the big money. Anyone looking for a hike is in the wrong place; it is an easy walk with many stops for photos. So, it’s neither trekking nor hiking.”
