Description
Tegallalang Rice Terrace is one of the most famous agricultural landscapes in Bali, located just north of Ubud in the lush central highlands of Indonesia. Known for its dramatic stepped layout, the rice terraces showcase the traditional Balinese irrigation system called subak, which has been used for centuries to manage water distribution across fields.
The terraces cascade down steep valley slopes in perfectly carved layers, creating a striking pattern of bright green paddies during the growing season. Narrow footpaths wind through the fields, allowing visitors to walk among the rice terraces and observe farmers working the land. Coconut trees and jungle-covered hills frame the landscape, adding depth and contrast to the vivid greens of the rice fields.
Today, Tegallalang Rice Terrace is both a working agricultural site and a major scenic attraction. Visitors come for its panoramic viewpoints, photography opportunities, and cultural insight into Bali’s farming traditions. Despite its popularity, it remains an active farming area, offering a living example of how agriculture, culture, and landscape blend together in Bali’s rural heartland.
