One great way to enjoy Indonesia’s diverse natural beauty is riding on two wheels while enjoying unrestricted views of nature, breathing fresh air, and setting your own pace. Discover the most spectacular places to cycle in Indonesia, from a small island to majestic towering mountains.

Bukit Campuhan

There is a place for every activity in Bali. For an epic cycling trip, head over to the Ubud highland, where tourists can recreate the village cycling experience in Eat, Pray, Love style. Also in Ubud, Bukit Campuhan has a solid track that goes along the hill, cutting through the fresh green grass and extending further into nature. An afternoon cycle will still provide a decent amount of sunshine —start at around 4pm and you’ll be done in time for the magnificent sunset view.

Tebing Keraton

Embung Nglanggeran

Nusa Lembongan

The most mind-boggling thing about cycling in this small island on the southeast of Bali is that you can range over the whole island from one end to another in less than a day. That means fascinating views of green hills, magnificent cliffs, pristine beaches, and mangrove rainforest all in one track. The island is also cycling-friendly because there are few motor vehicles roaming around and the main roads are relatively well-built.

Mount Papandayan

Patar Bike Park

Among many things that make cycling through the Patar Bike Park in West Sumatra so enthralling are its natural charms —lush vegetations, city view from the hills, mountainous structure in the backdrop. But that’s not all. The park is equipped with man-made features for daredevil cyclists, from obstacles, to a crafted dropped track that will send bicycles flying in the air. It’s as if the natural challenges presented—narrow winding track, rocky road on some parts, muddy path —are not enough for the most adventurous souls.
