The River and the VolcanoSidemen is a typical Balinese village tucked away in peaceful green valley, a great place to start a Bali trekking tour. It's the quintessential rural image of people do their washing in the river, farmers working in the fields and carts slowly rolling along the dusty tracks. On the horizon the majestic volcano beckons and if you've got the stamina you can climb all the way to the summit. You'll be staying in a rustic cottage in the green valley within walking distance of the river. |

Day 1: Arrival SidemenThe moment you arrive in the beautiful green valley and settle in to your cottage, you'll feel instantly at home. The owners of this small-scale accommodation focus on the spiritual side of things, so if you want to enhance your general feeling of well-being you can take a meditation and spiritual awareness course during your stay. Then again, simply enjoying the wonderful location and surroundings may bring you all the inner peace that you need.From your accommodation you can follow the path down to the river for a refreshing swim in the cool water that flows from the volcanic mountains. In the afternoon, we can offer you an optional walk through the valley (lasting 3-4 hours) with a local guide for an up-close encounter with the rural life of Sidemen. |

Day 2: Bali trekking - Gunung AgungIn the middle of the night (yes, that's right) you'll crawl out of bed for your Bali trekking adventure to climb Gunung Agung. You'll be halfway up the slopes of the volcano before dawn.Daylight will slowly break as you climb the slopes and once you reach the top you'll be basking in the golden-red glow of the rising sun. Before it gets too hot you'll head back down again, arriving back at your cottage around lunchtime for a well-deserved swim in the cool river. |
Day 3: Departure Sidemen - End of moduleSadly, it's time to bid farewell to the valley and perhaps go on one final walk through the paddies.After this Bali trekking tour, you can continue your trip with the Enchanting East Coast, Homestay in the hills and/or the Water Palace and the Temple. |
