ATV Adventure
Mud, throttle and a forest track.
About the experience
Mud, throttle and a forest track.
Payangan sits north of Ubud, where the rice terraces stop and the forested valley begins. The track runs through that valley: narrow dirt paths, lanes between plantations and a few stream crossings.
You start with a short briefing — throttle, brake, cornering and convoy order. The quads are automatic, so never having ridden one is not a problem. A guide leads and a second rides at the back; the group never splits in two.
Two-seater quads are available, so someone who would rather not drive can still come along. There are stops for photographs at the most open points on the route. Hot showers and a place to change are waiting at the end.
“Bali’s back garden starts where the tarmac ends.”
Highlights
Three things that set this track apart
This is not a manicured circuit; puddles, stream crossings and forest lanes are the route itself. Getting wet and muddy is part of the plan.
A guide in front, a second rider at the back. The slowest rider sets the pace and nobody gets left behind.
Two stops — the valley overlook and the tunnel entrance. The shots taken with the helmet still on are usually the best ones.
