Join our ‘Good morning bike ride’ in Ubud. We’ll be passing by ancient temples, majestic royal palaces, green hillsides, rice terraces and everywhere you’ll see small woven baskets, full of flowers placed around the streets. Mornings are also the best time to exchange the latest news and gossip in the market, as the daily fresh items are about to be carried home. All of this while birds are flying over treetops, ducks are bill-ing & flapping their wings and the roosters are crowing - it’s time to wake up!
This trip is rated Level 3-5 , meaning it’s appropriate for travellers who enjoy going for a good ride and can handle an incline or two. The terrain we cover is varied. We’ll enjoy some gently rolling hills, with wonderful downhills and a few climbs which will be a bit more demanding.
Early in the morning, we leave Desa Penestanan Kaja and ride over the bumpy tracks, which lead us to the rice paddies.
There we are greeted by the local farmers, as they shouting ; PAGIIIIII , meaning ‘Good morning’ or - Om Swastyastu, meaning - I am wishing you the best of the best.
We continue along the paddies and discover the changing tones of Bali's seasonal rice farming colors- whilst the brown muddy water turns green and finally reaching the paddies where the seeds look golden, which means that the rice is finally ready to be harvested.
After pedaling short distances on the main road, we’ll pass through the centre of Ubud, and enjoy its early vibrant morning hustle.
Turn your head to the left and you will see Gunung Lebah Temple, which is located in the confluence of two rivers, which is an auspicious devotional place in Bali, and place for pilgrimage.
A little bit up the road, after the canopy of aerial prop roots, we turn a sharp left and are back on a small village road. We make a short stop at Wayan’s gallery where we can admire his arts and paintings depicting the power of ‘Taksu’, which is the spiritual energy underlying all artistry in Bali.
From here we take a short walk down to the Champuan river, where those who would like to go for it, can have a dip in the refreshing water.
Once back on our bikes we start the last part of our trip.
After conquering the steepest hill, we are rewarded with a leisurely-paced ride through Ubud, enjoying the day to day details of Bali life.
To end this wonderful morning, we stop by the popular and long-established Cafe Casa Luna, where those who wish can enjoy an optional delicious breakfast!
