MUST-DO ACTIVITIES IN BALI: TEGALLALANG RICE TERRACE

IS IT WORTH IT TO VISIT TEGALLALANG RICE TERRACE UBUD?

Tegallalang Rice Terrace is part of the UNESCO World Heritage list. Because of its beauty and uniqueness, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bali. A surreal place where you can spend an entire day. They have an amazing restaurant where I ate the best vegetable soup.

Is it worth visiting? I would definitely say that you must visit it if you want to discover a place so well preserved by the locals that it will amaze you. You have enough activities to spend an entire day and a world-class restaurant with amazing Balinese food.

HOW TO GET TO TEGALLALANG RICE TERRACE UBUD

The Tegalalang Rice Terrace is located in the center of the island, a 20 minutes drive from Ubud. As you approach the main road you will see that there are multiple entrances to Tegalalang Rice Terrace. You pay the fee only once and have access to all the entrances. Just keep in mind not to throw the ticket.

You can book a personal driver for the day, that will walk you everywhere you need. I paid 400K IDR (27€ or 26 USD) and my driver was at all times with me, showing me around, entering with me everywhere I went, and, taking very nice pictures for me. They go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and deliver a bespoke service.
Take a taxi scooter. For instance, if you need to go for a relatively short distance and spend the day there, just look for locals that propose to drive you with their scooter. I usually paid between 50K and 80K IDR (3-6 €/USD), depending on the distance. They provide you with a helmet, as it is forbidden in Bali to ride without a helmet.
Use the Go-Jek or Grab app to book a taxi. There is a standard base fare for Bali taxis of around 0.44 €/USD (7K IDR), and an additional charge per km of around 0.47 €/USD (7.5K IDR).
Rent a bike and ride like Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love for total satisfaction.

What to see at tegallalang rice terrace

There are a lot of things to do in Tegallalang Rice Terrace. When I was there, I started with a good cappuccino and just enjoyed the view and the people that were enjoying the swing. I even witnessed a Romanian couple that got engaged in the swing nest. They were so sweet, loved their innocence and love.

After that, I enjoyed a nice Trekking in the Rice Fields

If you are here, you definitely need to walk the rice fields. Just make sure to have proper shoes, not something slippery. You will get to enjoy the real Balinese countryside.

While you do the trekking, you can also Interact With the Local Farmers

You might come across farmers plowing the wet paddies, preparing the seedlings, or harvesting the rice. The local farmers are hard-working people and very nice. They will be more than happy to show you how they work the rice fields and the traditional Subak irrigation system which has been in use for thousands of years.

Once you finished the trekking, you deserve a good Meal in the restaurant

There are several restaurants or bars where you can stop to refuel. My first stop was at the top of Tegallalang Rice Fields, close to a swing, where you can enjoy a nice coconut and take beautiful pictures with a Bali sign made of green leaves.
