By the siappergi.com team · Published · 7 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Ubud to Kintamani is one of the most beautiful scooter routes in Bali: terraced rice fields, holy water temples, then cool air with views of Mount Batur. You can enjoy the whole route in a single day.
Route overview
| Stop | Approx. distance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ubud (start) | — | Leave at 07:00–08:00 |
| Tegallalang rice terraces | ±10 km | Arrive early before the crowds |
| Tirta Empul Temple | ±10 km | Bring a sarong to enter the temple |
| Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring | ±2 km | Lots of steps |
| Penelokan, Kintamani | ±20 km | Panorama of Mount & Lake Batur |
| Back to Ubud | ±35 km | Long descent, brake gradually |
About 75–80 km in total, round trip. Pure riding time is around 2.5–3 hours; set aside a full day with stops.
Which scooter to ride
The road to Kintamani is a long climb. With a passenger, rent an NMAX or PCX. Riding solo, a Vario 125 is still comfortable. Avoid a 110 cc scooter with a passenger if you don't want to struggle on the hills.
Trip tips
- Kintamani can be much colder and foggier — bring a jacket.
- Fill up the tank in Ubud or Tampaksiring before the climb.
- On descents, alternate front and rear brakes and don't hold them on for too long.
- Head back before dark; mountain roads have little lighting and are often foggy in the afternoon.
- Carry small notes for entry tickets and parking.
