Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Bali may be famous for its beaches, but its gorgeous rice terraces are also a major draw for tourists. The neat arrangement of rice fields on the terraces create a beautiful view of nature that is serene and breathtaking. These attractive rice terraces can be found all over Bali but here some of the best rice terraces we’ve discovered.

1. Best rice fields in Ubud and Bali

Rice fields are a common feature in the Island of Gods with Jatiluwih Rice Terrace located in Tabanan and Antosari Rice Field just outside of Bali.

Ubud’s most popular rice terrace is the Tegallalang Rice Terrace, which was featured in the Hollywood movie ‘Eat Pray Love’. A charming natural landscape located 600 metres above sea level, visitors enjoy the refreshing cool air and the rustic vibe that is truly Balinese. The outskirts of the area is also littered with hotels and cafes which give a panoramic view of the rice fields—a great way to relax and take in the natural landscape.

The rice fields near Campuhan Ridge and Subak Sok Wayah can also attract a crowd, especially in the evening when the sunset casts a warm glow on the fields.
