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.
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.

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.
Geologically, this ride runs along Bali’s volcanic highlands: old lava flows and weathered ash have carved ridges and fast-draining soils that produce the hard-packed singletrack riders love. Culturally, the Bedugul area centers around the 17th‑century Ulun Danu Beratan temple and markets selling mountain-grown vegetables and coffee—local villages still farm the slopes you pass through.
Expect 7–8 hours on the bike covering roughly 30–45 km with a net descent of about 900–1,200 m from the Bedugul plateau to the Tabanan lowlands. Terrain is mixed: technical rooty sections, fast bermed trails, short rocky pitches, and cultivated dirt lanes. Guides provide vehicle support, water, lunch, and a quality mountain bike.
Practical tips: start early to avoid midday sun and farmer traffic; carry a hydration pack with 2–3 liters and an electrolyte mix; choose grippy trail shoes and a tire pressure that balances cornering with puncture resistance. Bring a light rain shell—highland weather changes fast—plus cash for village snacks and a charged phone. This is a full‑day, high‑effort mountain bike experience best suited to confident riders who can manage sustained descents and technical singletrack.
challenging.
7–8 hours.
High level of aerobic fitness and sustained leg strength; should be comfortable with long descents and technical singletrack.
Yes—quality mountain bikes with flat or SPD-compatible pedals, helmets, and gloves are included in the tour.
The tour is physically demanding and not recommended for those with limited cardiovascular fitness; riders should be comfortable with a full day in the saddle and challenging descents.
Pickup points are commonly offered—confirm at booking. Seminyak and Ubud are typical pickup locations but expect a 1–2 hour transfer depending on traffic.
No—the singletrack contains technical root and rock sections and sustained descents; beginner riders should seek easier half‑day rides first.
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.
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.
