One of the most famous rice paddies in Bali.
Tegallalang rice terracesJalan Raya Tegallalang, Ceking, North Ubud. About 15 minutes drive from central Ubud.
One of the most spectacular rice field terraces is Tegallalang area, just about 15 minutes drive outside of Ubud. Surrounding gorge full of rice fields has over the years attracted many photographers who captured its images on film and photos. Overtime Tegallalang rice fields became an attraction in itself.
Even though a lot of rice fields surrounding Ubud have been converted, terrace rice fields still remain the most popular feature of Bali landscapes. Most of them have been created around 9th century and engineered by the Balinese themselves using water coming from the mountains. The result are step, garden like terraces designed on hillsides and mountain edges with irrigation channels that keep them wet all year round.
The drivers usually stop right across the street from the ridge. Be brave and learn to say NO, or bargain hard - the area is filled with sellers trying to strike the best price on their good.
There are two cafes where you can enjoy a meal and relax over a stunning rice field gorge.
If you liked the ridge in Tegallalang and would like to see some more stunning views, check rice fields in the same region (Petulu, Tegallalang). This area is completely untouched by the modern world and villages here are as they were hundred of years ago.
