Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Ubud, Indonesia
About This Activity
Tegallalang's terraced rice paddies are one of Bali's most iconic landscapes — steeply carved bowls of brilliant green descending along the Cebu River valley just 9km north of Ubud. The UNESCO-recognised subak irrigation system has shaped these fields for centuries, channelling mountain spring water through an intricate network of channels and bamboo pipes. Walk the narrow paths between the paddies, visit working rice farmers, and photograph the scene from the coconut palms that line the top ridge. Several cafes and swing platforms overlook the terraces — the famous Bali swings here are optional extras for a charge.
