The Experience

Before You Go

Use PAS smartly

Start in a higher pedal-assist mode on climbs then dial back on flat sections to conserve battery and feel the trail under you.

Bring grip-friendly shoes

Trails and waterfall rocks are slippery—closed-toe shoes with good tread improve control during short hikes and wet sections.

Hydrate and protect from sun

Tropical heat can build quickly; carry a refillable bottle and apply sunscreen provided by the operator before leaving the van.

Pack a light rain layer

If visiting during the wet months, a lightweight waterproof helps you stay comfortable between stops and protects electronics.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside pork satay stall near the Stone Garden—great for a quick local bite
  • Less-crowded viewpoints on secondary village roads accessed during the ride for unobstructed rice-field views

Wildlife

  • Kingfisher and other small river birds
  • Long-tailed macaque occasionally near temple sites

Conservation Note

Visitors should avoid trampling terraces and pack out plastic; local guides support community income and small-scale conservation by directing visitors to designated paths.

Gianyar has long been a cultural center in central Bali—rice terraces and irrigation systems reflect centuries of agrarian practice tied to Balinese temple culture.

Common Questions

Are the e-bikes suitable for beginners?

Yes; the e-bikes have multiple pedal-assist modes and a thumb throttle—beginners with basic bike skills can manage the route, but stable balance and the ability to use gears are required.

Can I swim at Kanto Lampo Waterfall?

Short dips are common where there is a shallow pool, but conditions change after rain and there are slippery rocks—swim at your own risk and follow your guide’s advice.

Is hotel pickup provided?

Yes—air-conditioned roundtrip pickup from Ubud is included with 24-hour advance notice; confirm your pickup point when booking.

Are children allowed on the tour?

Children are allowed but under‑18s must have guardian consent; minimum height and weight limits apply for safe e-bike operation.
