About this experience
Discover the charm of Sidemen village through an immersive trekking adventure that offers scenic viewpoints and a close-up experience of Bali’s iconic rice terraces. Starting from the traditional market and village center, the trek leads you through lush rice paddies toward the majestic Mount Agung, following irrigation channels and crossing a wooden bridge shared by locals and motorbikes. Along the way, you'll pass by temples and witness daily village life, from farmers plowing and planting to harvesting in the fields. This journey is perfect for those seeking a deeper connection with nature, culture, and the traditional Subak irrigation system, especially as you pass through the Subak of Ogang.

Absolutely incredible!
Our trekking tour in Sidemen was absolutely incredible! The scenery was breathtaking, with beautiful rice terraces and stunning mountain views. Our guide took so much time for us, never rushed, and explained everything in a friendly and personal way. On top of that, the tour was unbelievably affordable for what we experienced. Highly recommended - we would definitely do it again!!

Really nice!
We stayed in Bukit Luah Guesthouse and they aranged a ricefieldtrekking for us with Wayan. Wayan was really nice and teached us a lot about the ricefields of Sidemen. We were really happy. Thank you Wayan!

Disappointing visit – not as expected
Sidemen Village was a very disappointing experience for me. Unfortunately, there were no rice fields to see as most of them were already harvested, which took away from the main reason for visiting this place. Overall, the experience did not match the expectations or the hype around it and felt like a waste of money. I would not recommend visiting unless you specifically check the season beforehand.

Great tour guide :)
Most excellent tour of the rice terraces in Sidemen and around! Don't hesitate to book with Wayan. He is fun, has great knowledge that he loves to share, and is super interesting to talk to. I spent a wonderful morning with him and even had the chance to eat at his family's warung for a late lunch... delicious :)

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 9. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sidemen Trekking Through Rice Terraces and Villages start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Best of Ubud Full-Day Tour with Jungle Swing, Full-Day Tour to Water Temples and UNESCO Rice Terraces in Bali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
