Sidemen Highlights Day Tour
Embark on this incredible nature adventure and unplug from life for a day.
Sideman Village, is reminiscent of Ubud Town 25 years ago. Being closer to Mt Agung the area is far more mountainous with some of the best views in Bali. Although tourists are now staying here Sideman remains relatively unaffected and local Balinese live a rural village life. This tour visits the highlights around Sideman area and provides a good combination of nature, activity, culture and good food.
Break the drive approx. one hour from Ubud at Klungkung, Bali’s capital city from 17th to 19th century when Dutch invaded. The most visible memory of the Klungkung Kingdom is the remains of the palace with the most significant being Kerta Gosa, the court of the high king. At Kerta Gosa Pavilion, the focus: is karma, explained by Kamasan style paintings. These depict the consequences of actions and the punishments, depending on your misdeed: Under the tree of daggers for example, knives shall fall upon your lip if you were a liar. Also you can get your Balinese star sign based on birthdate, day and time here.
Klung Klung Market is a mix of old and new. The new section has stores with beautiful Balinese fabrics, Balinese traditional clothing and gold jewellery. There is also a food court selling local food for both eat in and take away. The old section has fruit, vegetables, daily needs, shoes and clothing. This spacious market is one of the best in Bali because it is not crowded and the sellers are not pushy.
Approx 20 minutes after leaving Klung Klung arrive at Sidemen Rice Field Walk. This is a flat walking track with a picture perfect view. Stroll along here for approx 45 minutes, breathe in the fresh air and take photos of the stunning scenery.
By now you will have worked up an appetite so the next stop is Anandini Organic Garden and Kitchen. Order you lunch from the delicious menu that includes ingredients that come from the garden. We recommend the granita’s as refreshing drink and the chocolate lava cake as dessert. A tour of the organic garden is also included.
Next it’s time to cool off at Gembeleng Waterfall. There are 5 natural infinity swimming pools along the hike to the top. Stop anytime and swim in the refreshing water with gorgeous views through the jungle tree tops to the valley below.
Now your full day tour is complete, and you can be assured you have experienced some of the best sights around Sidemen.
Tip: Sidemen is pronounced “Si Dee Men “
