Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"The atmosphere here is peaceful and tranquil, with the vast, emerald-green landscape creating an almost mesmerizing effect. The cooler, fresher air at this higher elevation provides a welcome reprieve from Bali’s humidity. Thanks to its location away from Ubud, Jatiluwih remains blissfully free of large crowds, offering visitors a chance to experience Bali’s rural beauty in relative solitude. For those looking to explore Bali’s agricultural roots, capture stunning views, or enjoy some peace away from the crowds, Jatiluwih is an ideal spot. While it’s not as heavily visited as other areas, it’s a popular stop for those also exploring nearby waterfalls, hiking trails, and temples. With a relatively affordable entrance fee and the option to pair it with nearby natural attractions, it’s also a great choice for travelers wanting to make the most of their time and budget." - Travis Levius

"Bali's Iconic Rice Terraces Bali's rice terraces are a beautiful sight, and a great place to view them is Jatiluwih in Tabanan. There are pathways cut through the fields for tourists and small stalls at which to sit and have a cold drink, but groups are few and far between, so it's one of the few places in Bali where life seems to just carry on without too much regard for visitors. It's possible to go to Jatiluwih for half a day, but a full day or even two walking the rice terraces and surrounding hills is definitely recommended. There are a range of guesthouses and hotels in nearby Munduk, Baturiti, and Pupuan, which are all beautiful in their own right."

"As parts of Bali become increasingly developed, it takes more and more work to discover its truly special spots that'll make your jaw drop. Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a part of the traditional Balinese subak system of farming, is one such place. The UNESCO World Heritage site requires effort to get to—just hire a private driver—but once you're here, the hiking trails and scenery are amazing." - Anna Chittenden
