Cycling tours in Indonesia – discover Bali and more
Cycling tours combine healthy, athletic activity with sustainable relaxation in charming natural surroundings. On a cycling tour in Indonesia, you will immerse yourself in a fascinating tropical world, experience unique landscapes, and come into contact with cultures that were previously unknown to you.
Interesting facts about cycling tours through Indonesia
A typical cycling tour in Indonesia begins on the scenically fascinating island of Bali at Denpasar International Airport. Coming from Germany, you can reach it via the airports in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, or Bangkok. All you need is a valid passport, and after landing you will receive a 30-day “visa on arrival.”
If, for example, you have chosen the Indonesia bike tour “Bali – Island of the Gods,” a short trip to Ubud is on the agenda from the airport. In this artists’ village, you will experience Indonesian hospitality with an exotic dinner and overnight stay. The first bike tour takes you through excitingly diverse natural surroundings to the Ayung River. You will spend the evening and night back in Ubud.
The next day, you will cycle on a trekking bike through flat regions with rice fields on both sides of the path, in hilly areas with rice terraces and ancient royal tombs. In the evening, you can process the variety of impressions over Indonesian dishes in the artists’ village of Ubud.
Highlights of an unforgettable cycling tour of Indonesia
Bali, the island of the gods, is perfect for a cycling tour of Indonesia in many ways. Here, the landscape is excitingly varied and offers, in addition to the aforementioned rice field plains, unspoiled rainforest and bizarre, extinct volcanoes.
Unique burial sites are nestled in artistically designed rice terraces, interspersed with secluded waterfalls that invite you to refresh yourself and linger. Bali is the ideal island for a cycling tour through Indonesia due to its diverse wildlife. These attributes also apply to the nearby island of Lombok. However, Bali offers the ideal mix of culture, tradition, nature, and Western lifestyle favored by travelers.
On a cycling tour of Bali, you will experience beautiful mountain villages, exotic plantations, fascinating mountains, and endless beaches in a single day. And every day is enriched with new and impressive experiences. The Indonesia bike tour is suitable for singles and couples or as a group trip. It takes you beyond Bali to the island of Java, including camping at a volcanic crater. One of the many highlights of this bike tour is the descent by bike from an altitude of almost 2000 meters to the sea, through rainforests, rice terraces, and plantations.
Climatic conditions and difficulty levels
Although the typical Indonesia bike tour is usually done on a trekking bike, the level of difficulty is considered average. The stages through the rice fields in the plains are particularly easy to master. Cycling over hills is not difficult for average cyclists, and on the challenging tours through volcanic landscapes, you can always take a seat in the support vehicle.
On every cycling tour through Indonesia, the daily stages are comparatively short for good reason. If you come directly from cool Germany to hot Indonesia, the climate can be difficult to cope with, especially in the first few days. Daytime temperatures around 30 degrees and relatively high humidity affect your physical condition.
Why you shouldn’t miss Bali on a cycling holiday through Indonesia
If you want to go on a cycling tour in Indonesia, Bali is the ideal island for three reasons:
- overwhelmingly diverse nature
- faceted culture
- numerous highlights
