A lovely feature of this route is that you arrive relatively early in Penglipuran, one of Bali’s traditional Bali Aga villages, before most visitors arrive. You’ll enjoy a calm warm-up stroll in this Bali Aga village, and then set off eastwards across rural Bangli for Undisan, where you can round up your hike with a lunch at DeUmah.

While en route, you will visit a typical Bangli village household for coffee or tea, and get to know what makes rural Bangli tick.
