What to prepare
- A jacket and raincoat: Bedugul can be much colder than Ubud.
- Good brakes: the Gitgit–Singaraja descent is long and winding.
- A full tank before climbing to Bedugul.
- Cash for entrance tickets and parking at the sights.
Which scooter suits it
Two-up with backpacks, an NMAX, PCX or Vario 160 is most comfortable on long climbs and descents. Destination info is at scooter rental in Lovina, and routes around Bedugul in the Bedugul–Munduk route.
On the descent to Singaraja, alternate the front and rear brakes and stop briefly if they start to feel hot.
Continue west with the Lovina–Pemuteran route. Scooter options at SiapPergi — Bali scooter rental.
