The Tegallalang Rice Terraces’ steep, cascading green tiers just outside Ubud are one of Bali’s most photographed landscapes, farmed using the traditional Balinese subak irrigation system.

Self-Guided Visit

A self-guided visit lets you walk the terraces at your own pace, paying a small donation at the entrance to access viewing paths through the fields.

Guided Half-Day Tour

A guided half-day tour combines the terraces with other Ubud sights like the Sacred Monkey Forest or a coffee plantation, with a driver handling transport between stops.

Is the Guided Half-Day Tour Worth It?

Since Ubud’s attractions are spread out, a guided tour with transport is more efficient for covering multiple sights in one day; a self-guided visit works fine if the terraces are your only stop.
