Trekking in Bali
Trekking and Bird watching! I have mentioned some great walks in my book "Impressions of Paradise". Walking is my favorite way to feel the country, slow down to its pace, and get to those small villages with glimpses of rural Bali. It is usually good to get an early start, as the sun rises fast and it gets hot. I find that when in Bali, I usually wake up at 5:30 a.m.
It is possible to take a walking tour of all of Bali, using the back roads and trails that many of the villagers have used for centuries. These by-way passages take you out of modern-day life and into the Balinese culture, which is still very much intact. Whether you intend to walk your way through Bali, or just stroll for an hour, I recommend foot power to truly imbibe the spirit of this island. There are warungs in every village to rest your feet and have a cold drink. There are also springs, rivers, and baths along the way.
Here is a company that offers organized walks to the mountains and around the National Park:
