Tegallalang Rice Terrace is a series of beautifully arranged paddies which follows the traditional Balinese irrigation system called “subak”.
The system is said to have been passed down by a sage named Rsi Markandeya in the 8th century.
Since it has been listed in UNESCO World Heritage site, this place has gained popularity among international travelers.
Nevertheless, it is still a great place to wind down and ease your mind as it offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
Tegallalang Rice Terrace is situated in a valley that offers extraordinarily scenic lookouts over the terraces and surrounding green landscape.
Along with the ones in the villages of Pejeng and Campuhan, Tegallalang Rice Fields form the three most stunning-looking terraced landscapes in Ubud region.

The area is only a short 20-minute drive north of Ubud Centre, but those who prefer walking can take a two-hour on foot journey there. It’s relatively easy to reach, especially if you decide to take your own rented car or motorcycle.
Once you arrive at Tegalalang Rice Fields, the first thing you can obviously do is to savor the view from the top of the elevation.
However, it’s also possible for you to cross a small stream and get to the rice fields on the other side.
We would suggest you climb down and explore the area further to find cool spots for you to take pictures. You will need approximately 30 minutes to 1.5 hours to explore every corner of the area.
It’s not that lengthy, considering what you’ll find along the exploration will make it worthwhile. Don’t forget to bring water and put on some sunscreen!
