Welcome to TREKKING CANDIDASA.

 

Looking across a verdant valley of sculptured  rice paddies by the sea is Candidasa. Located at the base of Mt Agung the soil is fertile and rich. With bubbling streams meandering aimlessly towards the sea, trek with Somat, an experienced guide who has lived in the area his whole life. Walk across the top of rice fields along a track worn by generations of farmers. The inland of Bali offers something completely different to the coast. See the farmers working the fields and get a taste of the true Balinese life.

 

Trekking Candidasa offers a truly unique experience for any traveller. Starting just a short distance from the heart of Candidasa your walk begins with a crossing of a traditional bamboo bridge before following narrow tracks winding among terraced rice paddies and then a long gentle decent through lush green forests. With your guide by your side the whole journey learn how these traditional terraces are formed and how the rice is sown and harvested, what plants produce the fruits you have been eating for breakfast and others you have never seen.

 

Along your trek you will see farmers here and there ploughing behind water buffalo, carrying huge sheaves of harvested cut grain or taking a break in ramshackle shady huts. Enterprising locals offer drinks and other refreshments from stalls along the way. With locals offering hand made souvenirs at very affordable prices you are bound to get a real taste of Bali.

 

Your Trek finishes in the village of Tenganan, which in itself is a fascinating tourist destination. The walks are not strenuous and your guide will allow you to walk the trek at your own pace. As a general guide the walk takes between 1.5 - 2 hours depending on you. There are options for your decent steep or gentle, speak to Somat he will advise you on the day.
