Arrival in Sidemen
The moment that you arrive in this beautiful green valley and settle into your cottage, you’ll feel instantly at home. You’ll stay in a small-scale spiritual resort offering all kinds of meditation and yoga, so feel free to plunge straight in. From your resort, you can follow the path down to the river for a refreshing swim in the cool water that flows from the volcanic mountains.

Green Valley Walk and Free Time
Today you’ll explore the green valley of Sidemen with your guide. You will follow a babbling river with women doing the washing by the water’s edge and buffalo cooling off the refreshing water before heading further into the countryside. This tour will last for approximately 3-4 hours and is a great way to see rural life.
The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy the beautiful area: go for a cooling dip in the river, wander around the endless rice paddies or unwind on the terrace of your charming hotel taking in the stunning views.

Go Zen in Sidemen
After your trek you can go zen in Sidemen during a 1 hour yoga and meditation session with the lush, green rice paddies as your backdrop. This quiet valley is the perfect place for some peace and tranquillity where you can truly feel at one with nature, and recover from the exertion.
