Isn't Google wonderful? A search for "atv ubud" gives ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) Ride (Location in Payangan near Ubud) complete with photos. Maybe it looks like fun.

Yes..it is a real rush... when one takes on the bumps of a rough mountain terrain...through mountain streams and dense forests. I happened to do it on a day when it had rained....so had wet slimy mud all over me. But it was great fun. I went to a resort near Jakarta (LIDO LAKES RESORT) :: Lido Lakes Resort & Conference :: The resort has a Golf course, ATV, Aero club and Paintball

Also destrys the peace and tranquilty that is Ubud and takes away from its environment:icon_sad:

Sorry gals and guys We are talking about ATV rides :icon_mrgreen: So any more recommendations? Thank you.

gilbert de jong

ok ronb..will try and do so :icon_e_smile: @nemesis, another recommedation...buy your own ATV and go where-ever you want :icon_mrgreen:

Hey Gilbert - you need to explore Ubud a bit more. Maybe you are just thinking of Monkey Forest Road or the market. In the Campuan - Penestanan area, plenty of homestays are on paths where there are no cars or motorbikes, others are on paths with motorbikes, but no cars. Usually there is the sound of running water nearby - often from the irrigation channels that have small waterfalls built into them. Peace and tranquility - a perfect description. Even on Monkey Forest Road, a resort like Komaneka (Komaneka Resorts at Ubud Bali: Explore Hotels Resort, Honeymoon and Spa Accommodation) has bungalows with private terraces and plunge pools overlooking a river valley and rice fields - peaceful and tranquil and bloody expensive - but there you go.

I saw it few years ago, about 7-10km north of Payangan (20km from Ubud). It's on left side of the main road Payangan - Kintamani in a very nice village named Sidemen. I forgot the name of the ATV group that done regular ride there...it's on the start point of Ayung River Good luck
