Highlights

Your guided Karangasem Regency tour of Tenganan Village and rice fields trekking adventure starts when your friendly local guide picks you up in an air-conditioned car from your hotel in Candidasa or South Bali. Head to Kastala Village and begin the trek to Tenganan Village, one of the oldest traditional villages in the area.

Along the way, wander through perfectly sculpted rice terraces, cross a natural bridge of bamboo and visit the bottom of the famous volcano Mount Agung. Here you can learn about traditional methods of farming including ‘subak’, an important system of water management.

After stopping for a rest in a village along the way and sipping on some local palm wine, continue on your way to Tenganan Village.

It’s recommended that hikers bring comfortable hiking shoes and pants and a camera to capture the unforgettable scenery passed along the way. You’ll also be provided with drinking water and a walking stick, and all entrance fees and government taxes will be taken care of.

Incredible experience, a mix of culture, beautiful views and nature! - This trip was absolutely amazing for people who are interested in the local farming culture of Bali, the local flora and fauna, and generally the wonderful views. The walk was not too strenuous in the dry season, and the local guide, Toto, made sure we did a route that was in the shade of the forest! We would recommend to anybody with a mild-moderate level of fitness. Our driver Arya was brilliant, giving us lots of local knowledge and information on the drive to the location. He was incredibly friendly and happy to take photos for us, with lots of patience. We also asked to make an adjustment to the itinerary last minute and he, and the operator Tour Bali Driver were really flexible and accommodating. The local guide for the trek called Toto, was exceptional. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the local history and nature really went above and beyond. He answered all of our questions on the local animals, plants and flowers and about the local culture of the rice farmers and Tenganan culture. He took us on a different route to standard, as a special route and it was incredible - our favourite part of Bali so far. Overall, we would 100% do this again and would recommend to anybody looking to see the untouched parts of Bali, with few tourists.

Great walk even better views! - Went there with my two children 3.5 & 6.5, husband and mother. We hired a a driver for the day and got a lift to the town. You are required to do a donation at the start and end of the walk. The walk was reasonably hard but once at the top the view was well worth it. You can hire a guide at the start of the walk which is well worth it!

Tour Guide Kota - This was by far one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide was Kota, and you should request him.. here’s why. Kota didn’t just lead the way through gorgeous rice fields, he stopped to show us the vegetation along the way which was safe for us to eat. He made bird noises as we hiked which the birds answered back to with the same song. He lead us down the paddies to actually harvest ourselves and allowed us to bathe in the fresh water streams. His knowledge of the land and the vegetation was thrilling and his positive attitude made a long hike one of the highlights of our trip.
