Beautiful, scenic – and busy. One of Bali´s essential places to visit. Gives a spectacular view on a certain feature and foundation in Bali´s history.
Place: Tegallalang rice terraces
Area: Just north of Ubud
Distance from ARTI: 32 km – 1 hour drive
When you visit the Ubud area, you should pay a visit to the Tegallalang Rice Terrace.
Yes, it is increasingly popular among visitors. Parking isn´t easy at the busiest days and hours in the Tegallalang area.
However, it is still a beautiful, scenic and peaceful place to visit, once you get off the road and start walking down and up the terraces filling the valley on both sides.
In Tegallalang you´ll get a good impression of the clever irrigation system, developed over centuries and making it possible to grow rice in the “impossibly” steep hills.
When you stop for a bite or a drink, there are plenty of restaurants all the way from Ubud to Tegallalang.
If you´re into shopping, the entire road from Tegallalang down to Ubud is the Gentong road, entering into Andong street when you´re closing in on Ubud. This is one of the world´s longest shopping streets, with small shops and workshops all the way. Keep your eyes open!
