Bali Green Escape: Full-Day E-Bike Adventure Through Jatiluwih to Penarungan — Rice Terraces, Coffee Plantations & Monkey Forest

The real Bali isn't on the beach — it's in the heart of the island. UNIKAT's Bali Green Escape E-Bike Adventure is a full-day journey through Bali's lush interior: from sacred temples and UNESCO-listed rice terraces to coffee plantations and ancient monkey forests. This is the tour that shows you Bali as the locals know it — eco-friendly, comfortable, and unforgettable.

You'll spend roughly 6 hours cycling through some of the island's most stunning landscapes — from the volcanic highlands around Batu Karu all the way down to the lowlands of Penarungan. A private support vehicle accompanies the entire tour, so there's always a backup if you want a short rest.

The Route: From Sacred Highlands to Tropical Lowlands

🛕 Stop 1 — Batu Karu Temple

Sacred pond at Pura Luhur Batu Karu temple with traditional Balinese canang sari offering and fountain — start of the UNIKAT Green Escape e-bike tour — The sacred temple pond at Pura Luhur Batu Karu — a traditional canang sari offering at the water's edge and a fountain misting over the still waters

Your adventure begins near the sacred Pura Luhur Batu Karu, one of Bali's six key directional temples (Sad Kahyangan). Set at the foot of Mount Batukaru — Bali's second-highest peak — this remote temple is surrounded by pristine rainforest. Unlike the crowded tourist temples, Batu Karu offers a serene, spiritual start to your day. The cool mountain air and misty jungle create an atmosphere that feels ancient and untouched.

🌾 Stop 2 — UNESCO Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

Panoramic view of the Jatiluwih rice fields with Mount Batu Karu rising in the background — UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bali — The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces with Mount Batu Karu — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and masterpiece of Bali's Subak irrigation system

The undeniable crown jewel of this tour. The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012 for the ancient Subak irrigation system — a cooperative water management system dating back to the 9th century. Cycling through these terraces is a completely different experience from just viewing them at a lookout point. You'll feel the cool breeze, hear the water flowing through the channels, and see farmers tending their fields by hand, just as their ancestors did a thousand years ago.

The e-bike makes this stretch effortless — gentle slopes, smooth paths, and the freedom to stop whenever a panorama takes your breath away.

☕ Stop 3 — Coffee Culture: Batu Karu Coffee & Luwak Plantation

Traditional Balinese coffee and spice plantation — baskets of freshly harvested coffee beans, cacao, cloves, and vanilla at the Luwak Coffee stop on the Green Escape tour — At the Luwak Coffee Plantation — baskets of freshly harvested coffee, cacao, cloves, and spices, ready for tasting

Bali's coffee culture is legendary. On this tour, you'll visit Batu Karu Coffee — a local plantation producing some of Bali's finest arabica — and the famous Luwak Coffee Plantation. Here you'll learn about one of the world's most unique (and expensive) coffees: Kopi Luwak, made from beans naturally processed by the Asian palm civet. You'll get to taste various Balinese coffee and tea blends while enjoying stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

🌴 Stop 4 — Kayu Putih

After the coffee stops, the route continues through quiet village roads to Kayu Putih — a peaceful rest stop surrounded by tropical greenery. This is where you'll enjoy a traditional Balinese lunch with fresh local ingredients, recharge your energy, and prepare for the final stretch to Sangeh.

🐒 Stop 5 — Sangeh Monkey Forest

Visitors at the sacred Sangeh Monkey Forest in Bali — ancient nutmeg trees and playful long-tailed macaques — The Monkey Forest of Sangeh — giant nutmeg trees, sacred temples, and playful long-tailed macaques

The tour's unforgettable finale: the Monkey Forest of Sangeh. Home to over 700 long-tailed macaques, Sangeh is one of Bali's most sacred natural sites. The forest is dominated by towering nutmeg trees (Pala) — some over 80 meters tall — creating a cathedral-like canopy. You'll walk through sacred temple grounds while curious monkeys approach for a closer look. It's a magical, slightly cheeky, and completely unique Bali experience.
