This is because the incline is steep, and the trails are often wet from saturated fog. But if you reach the highest point, you can enjoy an amazing view especially when the sun is bright.


Traversing the route by bicycle

The stretch of subak, or terraced rice fields managed by the Balinese indigenous people, looks beautiful when you cross certain routes for cycling.
