Though the cooking takes a long time, but the food is pretty good. Always order early if you are in a hurry.

Walking around the paddy field near our hotel in Tangkup, Sidemen. Beautiful countryside scenery.

Start the hike from Natya River Sidemen, from paddy field to a river crossing via bamboo bridge. Passing through a farm, then into another river crossing without a bridge, to Bali Countryside Sidemen (a resort), passing through some canal and finally onto a main road. From here to Sidemen require 2h by foot, and we couldn't hail any Gojek and Grab. Finally a local help us to hail a passing by lorry to go to Sidemen town. The driver ask where would like to stop, and we said anywhere in town to have lunch. Then he drove us out of town, to a restaurant by the roadside which he claimed the food is good. Now we are out of the town again. An interesting journey.

Our free ride drop us at the restaurant, quite a distance from Sidemen town. This is definitely not a warung, but probably a favourite place for driver to bring there customers for lunch. You have a view of a big farm, but we can't see the mountains as it was cloudy. Food is nice, slightly expensive. Luckily we managed to hail a Gojek back to our hotel.

Soto Ayam and Nasi Goreng for dinner. The food is tasty.

Delicious breakfast with a great view.

Walking down the valley from Ayu Gumi Eco lodge, there is a yoga platform and a small stream. If you are adventurous enough to follow the stream for 5 minutes, you shall be rewarded with Tutub Waterfall. The water is really cold, as the sunshine hardly penetrate the valley. There is a water tube to float on the tiny pool.

We took the free transport from Arya Utama (our hotel) to this nearby restaurant (walking is hard due to the terrain and traffic). The food is delicious. We ordered Lawar Babi and Pepes Ikan. The dessert Dadar Guling is warm and tasty too.

This is the best hotel we stayed so far, also the most expensive. We stay in a special room, the waterfall cottage. It has a huge balcony with a outdoor sofas and sunbed. The room offer a 270 degrees all glass view of the surrounding, where you can see the valley, far away mountain and even the sea. The comes with a kitchen as well, a living room and a bathtub. You can order food from their restaurant and they will deliver it to your room. The comfort and the view of this room is really great.
