By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Rice terraces are Bali's most iconic view, shaped by the centuries-old subak irrigation system. By scooter you can stop at viewpoints tour buses never reach. Here are five of the best.
Five rice terraces
| Terraces | Regency | From | Approx. time | Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tegallalang | Gianyar | Ubud | ± 20 min | Most popular, cafés and swings |
| Jatiluwih | Tabanan | Canggu | ± 1.5 hours | Vast fields with Mount Batukaru behind |
| Sidemen | Karangasem | Ubud | ± 1 hour | Rice valley and Mount Agung |
| Belimbing | Tabanan | Tabanan town | ± 1 hour | Quiet, winding hill roads |
| Pupuan | Tabanan | Tabanan town | ± 1.5 hours | Green west-Bali route |
Travel times and tickets are estimates and can change. Don't walk on the paddy walls without the farmers' permission.
Visiting tips
- Go early before the crowds and heat.
- Wear comfortable shoes; paths through the fields are slippery after rain.
- Respect the farmers and subak channels — don't damage the paddy walls.
- Combine with traditional villages or Tanah Lot & Jatiluwih.
Harvest and planting change the colours. The fields are usually greenest a few weeks after planting.
