Beautiful views of the rice terraces for miles and miles. As this is a higher elevation it is also considerably cooler that in the jungle. The walks are well signposted and easy under foot. Only thing worth knowing is take food and drink with you as once you’re in the fields on the paths, there isn’t much. Occasional local selling over priced coconuts and Coca Cola, but that’s it. There are cafes and restaurants in the car park areas though! Thoroughly recommend for a more relaxing day!

Visiting Jatiluwih was one of the highlights of our trip to Bali. Thank god for UNESCO protection as this location is so beautifully preserved, unlike some of the overrun temple sites on the island. It was such a pleasure to hike through the stunning rice fields in peace and tranquility. Highly recommend.

Stunning! You pay as you drive in to the town to access it. At the centre is a small strip with a few restaurants (amazing meal with a view) , after we had a lovely walk, we’ll signposted, through the fields. So beautiful, well worth the drive.

Tegallalang is no competition to Jatiluwih, a UNESCO heritage site. Visited both and find the former a tad too touristy. there are balinese swings and other furnishing that have nothing to do with paddy fields but all about creating the perfect instagram shots. the latter still have the buffalos stationed at various sites, to work the fields. the irrigation system is also more obvious for those interested the Jatiluwih location is also more scenic. the fields are framed by volcanic mountains. it is beautiful even on a cloudy afternoon i was there. the paddy fields are mostly in seedlings stage during my visit (january). therefore, if you are looking for the perfect green carpet, my recommendation is to visit in march-april.

Accessing the Jatiluwih rice fields area requires a fee. Despite commercialization since our last visit, the rice fields remain stunning. A walking path winds through, providing easy access. It's a bit of a trek from Nusa Dua, but the scenery is worth it. Grab a meal or drink at one of the nearby restaurants overlooking the valley, then stroll through the paddies. The landscape, shaped over centuries, is still tended today, often with cows. Jatiluwih rice terrace is a must-visit spot in Bali, with its fairy tale-like beauty. Enjoy the view over a drink or meal at a nearby restaurant. If possible, consider staying nearby for a couple of days for a more immersive experience.

This was an absolute highlight of my rural trip in Bali. As a Unesco site, it is peaceful with little traffice and many walking tracks through the paddy fields. There are refreshment stops available every now and then too. Loved it and highly recommend. Far more natural than other tourist spots advertised.

Stayed in Ubud for a week to hike some of the mountains in the north. Went to these rice fields one day for a break from the big hikes, and was impressed. Well worth a visit though it’s a bit of a journey to get there. Took about 1 hour 45 mins from Ubud by car, but no doubt if you use a driver he will suggest other places to visit on the trip as well as the rice fields, if you want to see more sights. Minimum entry fee for tourists, I think it was 50000 IDR. The money from the entry fee apparently goes for upkeep of the site and access road to it. It is very well maintained and hassle free. Plenty of eateries around the entrance area, with some smaller (and cheaper) warungs on the walk around. Lovely views from the trails, including the local mountains such as Batakuru etc. Different trails to follow of varying distance, I did a two hour trail. The trails are well signposted and marked, and pathways almost all concreted or paved. Easy to walk around. There were some people cycling, but I don’t know if you can actually hire bikes on-site. All in all, a half day well spent. 👍

Nyoman, our guide, was prompt in picking us up at our resort and leading us on a wonderful trek to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and Belulang Hot Springs. He is a very safe driver with a clean, comfortable van. Friendly, conversive, humorous and spiritual, he is not only a pleasant tour guide, but also very knowledgable about Bali's history. If you are in the Ubud region of Bali, we highly recommend that your hire Nyoman for your touring plans. Safe travels! IG: @nyoman_driver_guide

Dropped by for a visit and did not expect the hikes to take at least an hour each. Ended up walking around taking pictures before heading back to the entrance. Even through the short walk, we found it to be very enjoyable with manageable crowds for good photos and there were also refreshments available long the trail. We would definitely come back in the future if we return to Bali.

Less crowded than the "other" rice terraces and miles of paved trails to hike in. Very enjoyable and highly recommend. Lots of road signs and refreshments along walk-- pick a route 1-5 miles and enjoy.
