AFTERNOON

We set off from beneath the ancient banyan tree in the idyllic Balinese village of Penestanan, ensuring that our helmets and gloves were tightly secured before selecting our bicycles. We then took them for a quick trial run to make sure that everything was in top working order. Now that all of our preparations have been taken care of, we can finally start our adventure and take in the stunning views that await us.

The journey starts from a height, where you take in the far-reaching views of the surrounding landscape to the sounds of the Sangeh river passing by.
We then enter a traditional Balinese village, briefly visiting Gusti, a friend, local villager and woodcarver whose family heritage in woodcarving goes back many generations.
From there, we follow the winding roads through the abounding expanse of rice paddies to Subak Gaga, the nearby village mekar bhuana is a living example of an ancient Subak system of rice paddy management.
Very soon you’ll reach the damp, where we step down, walk over the river and arrive at the small Rice-paddy temple, tucked in under massive coconut trees.
We stop to perform a puja for Devi Sri - Goddess of Rice
On the return, we rejoin the back roads finally arriving at Tropical ants , where a delicious brunch is waiting for you. -
We will park our bikes just outside Cafe Green Lotus, where charming and funny Wedi is waiting to serve a delectable vegan feast.
To make the most of our trip, you can combine our South of Bali Bike Ride with a visit to Cantika Spa.
