adventure
There is no more exhilarating or scenic way to appreciate the beauty of Bali than by following a trail through the countryside on foot or by bicycle. Amandari offers several invigorating treks including a walk along the Ayung Valley past sacred shrines, rice terraces, mango, coffee and clove trees finishing at Taman Burung Bird Park for breakfast. Cycle rides venture into the mountainous backcountry areas to parts of Bali that are less crowded, more peaceful and all the more rewarding for it. If tranquility is not what you are searching for then white water rafting down the Ayung River will certainly satisfy your thirst for adventure.
Amandari guides have a thorough knowledge of the island and will be happy to show guests Bali's most popular attractions or introduce them to locations not on the main tourist trail. There are many day trips available including Lake Batur, Mount Agung and Ceking, famed for its steeply stacked rice terraces. Guides can also arrange outings to nearby villages for tailor-made guided shopping trips or to Balinese dances which are performed nightly in Ubud and the surrounding areas.
