It was a lovely walk through the gorgeous rice paddies and the villages and the fields. Gede Darya was a kind and informative guide. I would recommend this trek to anyone wanting to see the real Sidemen.

I really recommend this tour! You will see a beautiful environment and authentic Balinese villages. Maybe wear a long pants since you walk though high grass with insects. We had a few red ants that bite us, but that was also part of the experience. And be aware that you walk in the rice field on narrow walls, so you need to have a bit of a good balance. But this will lead you to the most magnificent views!!!
