Ride from Bedugul’s cool highlands through tight singletrack and forested descents to the Tabanan lowlands. This full‑day mountain bike tour blends technical trail, village culture, and big elevation loss for experienced riders.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a cool Bedugul ridge and the forest swallows sound—wheels hum, leaves slap the trail, and the island’s highland air pushes against your cheeks as the route drops toward Tabanan. Singletrack threads through ferns and mossy trees, switches over roots and volcanic rock, and occasionally opens to rice-terrace vistas and glimpses of the coast far below.

Duration
7–8 hours

High level of aerobic fitness and sustained leg strength; should be comfortable with long descents and technical singletrack.
Wildlife
History
Bedugul’s plateau grew as a cooler agricultural center during colonial times; Ulun Danu Beratan temple on Lake Bratan dates to the 17th century and reflects the area’s agricultural and water‑temple heritage.
Conservation
Stick to established trails to limit erosion on steep slopes, avoid littering in village areas, and support local guides who practice low‑impact trail use.

Hydration and electrolytes
Bring a 2–3 L hydration pack and electrolyte mix—the highland sun plus sustained effort depletes fluids quickly.
Tire pressure for mixed terrain
Run slightly lower pressure for grip on roots and rocks but not so low you risk pinch flats on rocky sections.
Start early
Begin at dawn to catch firm trails and avoid afternoon rain or agricultural traffic on village lanes.
Respect farmland and villages
Stay on the marked trails and ask before entering cultivated land—local farmers rely on these plots and guides enforce access.
Hydration pack (2–3 L)
Keeps you hydrated for a full‑day ride and stores tools, snacks, and layers.
Padded cycling shorts
Improves comfort on long hours in the saddle over mixed terrain.
Sturdy trail shoes with grippy soles
Better on pedals and for short hikes/sections where you dismount.
Light waterproof shell
Highland weather can turn quickly—pack a lightweight shell for rain and wind.
