A moment in step with an elderly farming couple heading home from another day in their fields, travelling along the same footpath, no doubt, for the last half-century.

This couple's whole life has been lived on this trail between Leuwigoong and Cigobang, two Sundanese villages in West Java's Sentul highlands. These traditional trails hold rich histories of Lives and loves and livelihoods, of family and folklore and heritage, of farms, fields and forests.

As we urbanites hike and run and rebalance in nature, we are efectively etching our own histories into these very trails. It can be a beautiful thing, the thread of history continuing through a footpath. Yet, let us ensure that our new histories add to, not eclipse, those who travelled before us.

This is what we at are all about. Enabling all to explore on foot responsibly, reconnect to landscape and write our own histories in our "discovery" of the outdoors.
Let us learn from locals, of their lives and livelihoods and help to record and preserve these traditional ways, in the story of these trails, before the warungs and the signs and the urbanisation of these areas is too far gone.

We have so little time left to do this, before the forests and farms painstakingly tilled by our grandfathers and grandmothers over generations are lost. To capture the histories and personal tales of our elders, before they, too, have gone.

I came across this couple in the final moments of an all-day trail run at speed, slowing to the natural grounded surefooted pace of a farmer's gait. I fell into step, following in the footsteps of this beautiful couple. In just a few moments, I was grounded, and yet stunned into the urgency and importance of safeguarding their history on foot into the trail destination development for the future.

Tales from a Day on Foot.

' Wild Camps are a special feature enabling trekkers to explore and support the more remote stages of The Great Bali Trail.

idGuides' unique wild camps service thus enables villages and communities in regions far from tourism to engage and benefit from the GBT, earning revenues from hikers overnighting in beautiful natural camps, without having to invest in and maintain expensive homestay infrastructure.

idGuides Wild Camps are established in partnership with GBT village partners, who host and support the camps in collaboration with idGuides' roving logistics and trail guides team, who ensure standardised set-up and quality-control.

Thus, village partners along The GBT generate green revenues from maintaining their land in a clear and natural state ideal for camping, providing permission, security, and access to water, electricity and village ecotourism services such as food, local visits and transport.

Through our network of village partnerships who own & maintain their stage and wild camps along The GBT, idGuides can set-up newrly any type of private camp ranging from a simple camp to a luxury GBT safari camp, depending on the level of service booked by the client.

It goes without saying that when idGuides decamps, we Leave. No. Trace. - this includes any rubbish extending to latrine waste. Advocating and practicing LNT continues to be core to idGuides since our founding in 2009.

idGuides GBT Wild Camps featured here are:
Tenganan Gumung Karangasem (GBT 21-22)
Sibetan Bukit Surga Karangasem (GBT 20-21)
Jatituhu Karangasem (GBT 16-17)
Sogra Sebudi Agung Karangasem (GBT 19-20)

Nothing truly grounds you like a good Camp ~ where the evening's agenda is an intimate dinner by lantern to surround-sound crickets, waiting for the perfect Moon-rise, and the waking to the perfect Sun-rise.

Morning routine is barefoot in the grass, coffee in hand, maybe a spot of yoga with a view as warm-up for the day's lounge, or if you're like us, hike or trail-run in any direction from camp, literally as far as your eye can see.

Glimpses from a Waisak Weekend, at Acacia Camp Sentul, idGuides' natural village trail base with the ideal essentials for a natural established private camp.

Natural beauty is everywhere, if you take time to slow down. By moving on foot, we immerse ourselves in the natural world.

Our senses are awakened by a cold splash of natural spring water on our faces, by the sweet note surprise of coffee-in-bloom.

On a walk, a hike, a run ~ we slow down from our normal urban lives, and enable us to truly feel that time is suspended. We can take a moment to breathe in....breathe out.....and reconnect to our natural rhythm.

Trails transform lives, in so many ways.
And this is what We at idGuides are all about.

In Sentul or in Bali, we've designed dozens of trails for you. Select just one, at whatever speed you like, and take a moment to...Just Breathe.

Welcome to Your Home Outdoors.

Acacia Camp is our hilltop natural camp for private camps, natural small group retreats and outdoor education, established 2010.

Acacia Camp is inspired by the famous East African safari camps, many of which are community-owned and managed, with the aim of blending in to the natural environment and having positive impact.

Situated on a 5000m2 hilltop, Acacia Camp boasts spectacular 360 degree views overlooking padi fields and the Ciherang river watershed all the way to its source at Cisadon in the Mega Mendung hills.

To preserve camp feel, Acacia Camp is situated where there is no vehicle access up to camp. Instead, all visitors need to walk 5-10 minutes along a good path which ascends through villages and padi fields.

Facilities are simple but comfortable, intended in design and function as an expedition outdoor education base and natural camp retreat without the boundaries or restrictions of walls, unnecessary noise or light pollution. In keeping with eco-camp principles and practice, the camp is designed to minimize water & energy use, waste and noise. Electricity is available for charging mobile devices, with traditional lanterns providing safari-camp lighting during the night.

Facilities include a covered dining area with tables and benches (sitting up to 30 people to dine comfortably), bathrooms with clean mandi wash facilities, sit-down toilets and loo paper. Our field kitchen is restricted to idGuides staff – however upon advance request – a BBQ can be made available to use by guests. Our camping area has space for up to 20 tents.

Ask our team about reserving Acacia Camp.
idGuides offers private camps for friends & family, Out-of-Office retreats for companies and organisations, and Social Gathering packages for social groups.
