Feel
Heartbeat of Balinese Life Through Trekking
Lovers of Bali's environment can enjoy walking along rice
terraces and feel the grass touch their skin or wash their
hands in clear fresh water along the way and taste the tropical
fruits whilst receiving warmest greetings from villagers and
feel the heartbeat of real Balinese daily life.
To really experience this, then trekking or cycling must
be your choice. These facilities are well organized tour operators
in Bali since there is a high demand. There is much on offer
- hiking or mountain trekking, rice paddy trekking, jungle
trekking and beach trekking.
There are three favorites places for the hiker in Bali. First
Mount Agung, the highest mount in Bali and considered to be
the most sacred place because it has the mother temple. The
trek will loop to explore the highland tropical bush and forest
along beautiful Salak trees. Enjoy the sunrise and bird's
eye view of Besakih Temple. Then Mount Batur and Mount Abang.
These mountains stand as a backdrop to Batur Lake, circling
it from outside.
JUNGLE TREKKING
Trek through the beautiful nature reserve of Mount Batukaru
- an 'off the beaten track' adventure that quickly immerses
you into the cool shade of the tropical rainforest. You can
find the hidden world of Bali's magnificent flora and fauna
as you pass by ancient strangler trees and ferns, canopied
with exotic wild orchids and hanging liana, which is the home
of a variety of tropical birds and animals. A picnic lunch
by a clear mountain stream, breathing the spicy mountain air,
will revive you before continuing on to finish at the ancient
temple of Batukaru.
Or you can try Bali West National Park and choose what kind
of trekking you want or try all to get all unforgettable experience.
