Paradise Trails of Bali, Lombok Overview

A cultural walking holiday visiting Bali, Lombok and the idyllic Gili Islands

Spice up your life with a visit to the colourful Indonesian islands of Bali, Lombok and the Gilis. With coral reefs, volcanoes and the unique Balinese culture, the islands draw travellers from around the world. This tour begins on Bali where we will walk through the famous Batukaru rice terraces and trek to a viewpoint for Mount Batur to admire its smoking crater.  A short hike through the Batukaru Nature Reserve takes us into the world of tropical rainforest, with it's colourful flora and fauna. Transferring to Ubud, we stop off enroute to view the iconic Ulun Danu Temple on the shores of Lake Beratan.  No visit to Bali is complete without a trip to Ubud, the cultural heart of the island and the site of the incredible Besakih Temple.  Ubud has a chilled-out vibe with a thriving arts scene; this is a great place to do some souvenir hunting.   After the speedboat journey to Lombok, we’ll take a hike in the foothills of Mount Rinjani (3762m), an active volcano, and make an early start the following day to watch the sunrise over the smoking caldera from Pergasingan Hill (1672m).  Finally, we arrive on the idyllic Gili Islands, strung like pearls in a turquoise sea, with a couple of free days for everyone to snorkel the amazing coral reefs or just chill out on the beach. Take a trip to Bali, and let your troubles melt away!
