Sacred Springs & Rice Fields: Ubud – Tirta Empul MTB Tour

Before starting the ride, we’ll ensure everyone is prepared with their bicycles and a brief tour briefing. The journey begins with a 4 km single track through Ubud’s scenic rice fields, followed by quiet roads that weave through villages and offer an authentic glimpse of local life.

Around kilometer 8, we arrive at the stunning Tegallalang Rice Terraces for a rest stop, taking in the surreal beauty of Bali’s verdant countryside. Continuing the ride, we reach a local family-run warung at kilometer 20 to enjoy our first taste of traditional Balinese cuisine before cycling the final 1 km to the thousand-year-old Tirta Empul Temple. 

Dedicated to Vishnu, the Hindu God of water, Tirta Empul is one of Indonesia’s largest water temples. While bathing in the holy waters is reserved for local Balinese, you are free to explore the peaceful temple grounds, including the serene Jeroan section and the calm Koi Pool.

This tour includes the support of a knowledgeable tour leader, a quality mountain bike and helmet, fresh fruit, drinking water, isotonic drinks, and the entrance ticket to Tirta Empul Temple, ensuring you’re fully equipped and energized throughout the ride.

The experience is available for a minimum of one rider, and solo bookings are welcome, with new departures confirmed when reservations are made a few days in advance.
