Highlights

A half-day hike descending through lava canyon-lands, village agro-forest gardens and at last, the padi fields of Peninjoan, often alive with the productive bustle of Bali’s farmers, under the gaze of Agung, Bali’s holiest mountain seen in the distance.

 

For those of you who seek a point-to-point hike with a great mix of easy wide-open backroads and single-track.

Ideal for:

  • trail-fit beginner-intermediate hikers
  • experienced hikers & trail runners
  • experiencing a cross-section of rural Bali far from tourism

Next-Day booking available.

  • Submit your booking by 2pm Bali time, latest.

We recommend hiking Menanga-to-Undisan, a gradual descent southwards away from Agung to finish in Undisan at D’Umah, where you can enjoy lunch, afternoon snacks before driving back to your home/hotel.

Plan to overnight in Undisan at De Umah and relax into the afternoon with a delicious dip in the pool, sundowners and a deep sleep in surround-sound nature.
