Escape the busy tourist areas and experience a full day Sidemen in East Bali, surrounded by nature, culture and spectacular scenery. Sidemen offers a glimpse of what Ubud was like 25 years ago.

Sidemen remains relatively untouched by mass tourism, where local Balinese communities continue to live a simple rural lifestyle.

What To Expect
Taman Wisata Kertha Gosa
Klungkung, Bali’s capital city from 17th to 19th century when Dutch invaded. The most visible memory of the Klungkung Kingdom is the remains of the palace with the most significant being Kerta Gosa, the court of the high king. At Kerta Gosa Pavilion, the focus: is karma, explained by Kamasan style paintings. These depict the consequences of actions and the punishments, depending on your misdeed: Under the tree of daggers for example, knives shall fall upon your lip if you were a liar. Also you can get your Balinese star sign based on birthdate, day and time here.
Klungkung Market
Klung Klung Market is a mix of old and new. The new section has stores with beautiful Balinese fabrics, Balinese traditional clothing and gold jewellery. There is also a food court selling local food for both eat in and take away. The old section has fruit, vegetables, daily needs, shoes and clothing. This spacious market is one of the best in Bali because it is not crowded and the sellers are not pushy.

Nice trip

5.00We had an amazing experience in Bali thanks to our wonderful trip guide, Darma. From the very first day, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. He explained the history, culture, and local traditions in a way that made every place we visited more meaningful. Darma was always punctual, patient, and flexible with our schedule. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and gave us great recommendations for food, attractions, and hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. His driving was safe, and he handled everything smoothly, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our holiday. What truly stood out was his positive attitude and warm personality. He treated us like friends rather than just tourists, and that made our trip even more special. If you are visiting Bali, I highly recommend Darma as your guide. He will make your trip unforgettable!

5.00Had a fantastic day trip, highlight was the water purification at Holy springs temple. Dharma was an amazing guide and we got to bypass the tourist line as he has local connections. Everything was easy & super organised as well as very informative. Loved it all.
