Sidemen is charming little area where you'll get to experience the authentic Bali, as it used to be before the trendy coffee shops, swarms of tourists and traffic jams. Just imagine to yourself green fields as far as the eyes can see, dotted by the occasional colourful flower field, strolling around this rural area you’ll see farmers working in the fields, women will greet you on their way to the local temple with the daily offerings, children wearing their school uniform will wave and laugh as they pass you by on their motorbikes and the majestic Mount Agung can be seen from afar covered by the morning mists. There’s a relaxed atmosphere in the air and friendliness that is hard to find in our modern world. If there is one place we’d like to go back to during our next Balinese adventure, it’s Sidemen Valley.
