Kestala, Gumung and Tenganan Trekking by BALIwww.com.

Balis diverse landscape lends itself to some excellent trekking opportunities for active travellers. It is always important to wear a pair of sturdy walking shoes and bring along a camera to capture inspiring moments on film. A bottle of mineral water is also necessary to avoid the risk of dehydration along the way.

One route in particular commences in the village of Kestala in East Bali and is a 3-hour journey with some mild hiking involved. From the drop of point trekkers must first wade across the Buhu River where a nearby dam is an important water source for the communal irrigation systems of local rice terraces and farm land.

Venturing up to the dike-track, trekkers will be greeted by a stunning expanse of rice-fields. When weather conditions are favourable there is a clear view of Gunung Agung, the highest and most sacred mountain in Bali. While to the east, Mount Bisbis of Lempuyang rises in the distance.
