Build a Karangasem day around Warung Cepik Sidemen
Warung Cepik Sidemen sits in Karangasem, so start with hotel prices and pick a base at Amed for diving or Sidemen for rice valleys. Then look at activity packages, since the Tulamben wreck dive and the Tirta Gangga water palace are easy to add to the trip. Finally, price a car: the dive coast, the temples and the rice valleys are a fair drive apart. The three links below go straight to each.
Warung Cepik is exactly what people hope to find in Sidemen, an unpretentious bamboo warung where the view across the rice valley does most of the work, and the cooking is straightforward traditional Balinese rather than adapted for tourists.
Dishes are cooked after you order, so it's not a fast lunch, but that's part of the appeal in a valley where nothing moves quickly. The terrace seating is the spot to aim for, particularly in the late afternoon when the light comes across the terraces.
