The trek through the village of Sidemen was so beautiful. My guide Wayan was super kind and knew so much about Sidemen, he is the best. Would recommend!!
Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊🙏 We’re happy Wayan made your walk so enjoyable. Our trek is designed to share not only the beautiful scenery, but also the stories, traditions, and everyday life of Sidemen. We’re glad you could experience a little of it with us 🌿
A place not at all crowded to tour the rice paddies with the most beautiful landscapes and the volcano in the background.
¡Muchas gracias! El Monte Agung a veces se puede ver con mucha claridad cuando el tiempo está despejado. Tuvieron suerte de poder disfrutar de esa hermosa vista durante la caminata. Nos alegra que les haya gustado la experiencia. 🌿
My partner and I had three days in Sidemen, and we're glad we spent our first morning doing this tour. Aside from the pretty views, it also gave us a bit of context about the region, which was good to have as we explored the area more in the following days. This walk is different from the 'rice terrace walk' nearby, as the guide takes you through the rice paddies and different areas. We would recommend this tour for other visitors.
Thank you so much for sharing 😊We’re happy the trek gave you a useful introduction to Sidemen. We designed the route to go beyond the rice fields, sharing local agriculture, the Subak irrigation system, village life, temples and other everyday traditions along the way. We’re glad it helped you see Sidemen from a different perspective 🌿
A real trek! A real visit in nature, no stops at shops to buy from the local buddy, no! It's the best tour we have done in Bali! It has everything going for it: an affordable price, real hiking in nature facing incredible landscapes, and a smiling, helpful guide who knows his country, his culture, and his region well! Thank you, it was a truly great time for us. The trekking is not difficult, but you must be able to walk, wearing closed-toe shoes. The hike ends at a small local warung where you can eat and hydrate at very good prices. Bravo!
Merci infiniment pour ce magnifique retour 🙏😊 Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez ressenti l’esprit de notre trekking : découvrir la nature, les paysages, les villages et la vie locale, tout simplement. C’est exactement l’expérience que nous souhaitons partager avec nos voyageurs. Merci pour votre recommandation et au plaisir de vous revoir à Bali 🌿
I loved this experience. Darya was a fantastic guide through the Sideman rice terraces and villages. Great to see the local perspective. Perfect trek for the nimble footed!
Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊 We're truly happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Sidemen with Daria. It means a lot to us that our different perspective of Bali was conveyed through the villages, rice terraces, and local life. We hope to welcome you back for another meaningful adventure in Bali 🌿
We are very enthusiastic about this tour. The tour lasted 2 1/2 hours and was very informative. We can definitely recommend the tour. Sturdy footwear is an advantage. The starting point is approx. 30 min away from the start. You can easily walk there or book a Grab. Thank you very much for the lovely tour!
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour und die Informationen unseres Guides gefallen haben. Vielen Dank auch für Ihre Empfehlung und den hilfreichen Hinweis zu festem Schuhwerk. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder zu einem weiteren Abenteuer auf Bali begrüßen zu dürfen 🌿
Met at 9am which is best time as cooler and less cover around Mt Agung, walk was relatively easy with some balance required n our guide Diria (sorry if spelt incorrectly) was knowledgable, it took about 2 hours with lots of photo opportunities
Thank you so much for your kind review 😊 We're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful morning trek and the beautiful views of Mt. Agung. We'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Daria. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Bali 🌿
SIDIMEN valley is breathtaking beautiful surroundings. You can walk at your own pace or take a tour with the moped. It is possible to see the locals at work.
Dank je wel! Trekking in Sidemen Valley is inderdaad een geweldige manier om de prachtige natuur te ontdekken. Tijdens de wandeling kun je ook het dagelijkse leven van de lokale bevolking zien en genieten van de rustige omgeving. Hopelijk tot ziens in Sidemen voor een mooie trekking!😊
Very beautiful scenery, and a great guide
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and had a great experience with our guide during the Sidemen trekking. We hope to see you again on your next visit. 🌿😊
it was an amazing experience and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. In December some of the rice crops have been harvested, and knew all about the other crops being planted and how they were used in local cuisine. Beautiful experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience and that our guide’s knowledge about the rice fields, seasonal harvests, and local crops added value to your trek. December is indeed a special time in Sidemen, and we’re happy you enjoyed learning how the crops are used in local cuisine. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in the future. 🌾😊
