Wandering the roads of East Bali is one of Bali’s great pleasures. Rice terraces spill down hillsides under swaying palms, wild volcanic beaches are washed by pounding surf, and age-old villages soldier on with barely a trace of modernity.

Watching over it all is Gunung Agung, the 3142m volcano known as the ‘navel of the world’ and ‘Mother Mountain’, which has a perfect conical shape when revealed by its curtain of clouds. Trekkers witness sunrises that stretch to Java.

You can find Bali’s past amid evocative ruins in the former royal city of Semarapura. Follow the rivers coursing down the slopes on the Sidemen Road to find vistas and valleys that could have inspired Shangri La. Down at the coast, Padangbai is a funky and lively port town with a good travellers’ scene, while Candidasa caters to those who want a quieter time contemplating the ever-shifting Lombok Channel.

Resorts and hidden beaches dot the entire length of the coast and await your discovery. The Amed area has a collection of highly characterful inns, many geared for self-exploration and contemplation. Just up the coast, Tulamben is all about external exploration: the entire town is geared for diving.

And once you are off the roads, your wandering can continue. Start at the aquatic fantasyland of Tirta Gangga and see where the paths take you among fields of rice that ripple up and down the hills. Green, surprising and tinged with the smell of the sea, that’s East Bali.
