About trails in Indonesia
Indonesia's routes span three of its largest islands, each shaped by volcanoes. In Bali, the Batur to North Coast Ride drops 93 km from the Kintamani caldera to the sea on rough roads, and the Rendang Mount Agung Foothills Enduro Loop crosses rice terraces on the slopes of the island's highest volcano. The Ubud Highlands MTB Loop links villages and gorges in central Bali.
On Java, the Penanggungan via Jolotundo route climbs a steep, temple-studded peak in East Java, and the Gunung Mongkrang Loop Hike reaches about 2,200 m on the slopes of Mount Lawu near Tawangmangu. Sumatra adds long drives, from the Trans-Sumatra Highway in Lampung to the Padang to Alahan Panjang Highland Drive into the cool West Sumatra highlands.
- Best time to go
- The dry season, roughly May to October, is best for hiking and riding; the wet season from November to March brings heavy rain, slippery trails and occasional landslides.
- Terrain
- Mostly hard routes on steep volcanic slopes, rutted dirt roads and rice-field paths, reaching about 2,200 m.
- Permits & access
- Mountain hikes require registration and a fee at the basecamp, and volcano areas such as Mount Agung can be closed during periods of volcanic activity, so check current alerts.
