If you’re looking for a different way to explore Bali, one option is to take a Downhill Cycling Tour and stroll through the scenic route from Kintamani to Pejeng.
Recently, The Bali Agent’s internal team decided to try this activity ourselves. It wasn’t just a simple ride, it was a full adventure, starting from the cool mountains of Kintamani and rolling all the way down to Pejeng, with nature, culture, and fun surprises along the way. We joined this tour a little while ago, and it quickly became one of the most refreshing experiences we’ve had together. It was the perfect chance to step away from our routine, enjoy Bali’s beautiful countryside, and experience the tour exactly as our guests would.
Our morning started in Kintamani at a cozy restaurant overlooking the mountains. The cool breeze and a delicious brunch were the perfect warm-up before the ride. After everyone finished eating, our guide gave a short briefing about the route, easy, scenic, and enjoyable. And then, the downhill adventure began!
First Stop: Orange Farm
Our first destination was a local orange farm.
We walked between the trees and tasted fresh oranges straight from the branches—sweet, juicy, and a little tangy. It felt so simple yet special, the kind of moment you can only experience in rural Bali.
A Visit to a Local Elementary School
Next, we continued the ride to SD Negeri 6 Tiga, a small village school.
We explored the classrooms, observed the children learning, and got a beautiful glimpse into everyday school life in the Balinese countryside.
A quiet, heartwarming moment that made the tour feel even more meaningful.
Cultural Stop: Pura Penataran Puseh Bale Agung & Traditional Balinese House
The road continued through peaceful village paths until we reached Pura Penataran Puseh Bale Agung, an important village temple.
Our guide explained the temple’s history, its layout, and how the community performs their ceremonies.
From there, we visited a traditional Balinese house to learn about the structure of a family compound—why each building sits where it is, and the philosophy behind it.
These cultural stops added depth to the whole experience, making it much more than just a cycling tour.
Lunch Time + A Quick Stop at the Glass Bridge
Once the route ended, we headed to Gatra Udang Mang Engking for a relaxing lunch by the water.
Since we had pre-selected our meals in advance, the food came quickly, perfect after such a fun morning.
To wrap up the day, we made one more stop at the Glass Bridge, adding a bit of thrill, lots of photos, and even more laughter to the adventure.
