Sidemen is a village set in the beautiful countryside of East Bali. From here, you can get good views of Gunung Agung and the green expanses of ricefields.
There are a number of good homestays at Sidemen, some having rooms with a view. The cottage industry at Sidemen is the weaving of gold-thread fabric called songket. Songket weaving is traditionally the work of higher castes, and it still carries some social significance.
