Day 1 – Arrival in Sidemen
The moment you arrive in this beautiful green valley and settle into your room, you’ll feel instantly at home. You’ll stay in a small-scale traditional villa, where every room has a small outdoor terrace to take in those incredible views from. And there’s a lush swimming pool too, so feel free to plunge straight in.
Day 2 – Green valley walk and free time
Today you’ll explore the green valley of Sidemen with your guide. You will stroll down along a bubbling river, where the local women come to do the laundry and the buffalos are cooling off from the Balinese heat. You’ll then venture further into the countryside where you’ll see local farmers at work, and, depending on the season, the cascading rice fields in all their glory.
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.
Day 3 – Departure from Sidemen
Soon after breakfast it will be time to leave Sidemen. Take another glance at the valley with the perfectly shaped conical volcano as a backdrop before your driver whisks you off to your next destination.
