It’s not a UNESCO World Heritage site for nothing. A must see in Bali. These are the most beautiful rice fields I’ve ever seen, felt endless. You can easily spend the whole day walking around and enjoying the views. Try to aim for sunny weather. We were unlucky that it started raining soon into our visit. The fields look way more beautiful when bathed in sunshine.

We parked our motorbikes and started the orange loop from the side closest to the parking. We hardly met an...

The traffic by car when we get there is very well managed to ensure walkers security. I d...

Highly recommend if you want to escape big crowds and enjoy amazing views of the largest rice terrace in the country. To avoid traffic, try to arrive around before lunch time between 8 am and 12 pm. Otherwise, I highly recommend coming to this place and enjoy serene environment! There is plenty of free parking and local restaurants with good views!
