This is just a short article to introduce you to Bali, an island and also a province of Indonesia. Nicknamed the Island of the Gods, Bali is one of the most visited island in Indonesia and considered as one of the best tourist destination.
The pictures in this post are the iconic, beautiful and famous Tegallalang Rice Terrace about 30 minutes drive North of Ubud, a city known as Bali's art and culture capital.
The rice terrace elevation is about 600m above the sea level. It's also possible to climb down and explore the rice field and learn the ancient Bali irrigation system called Subak. There are many companies offer a guided tour, but the hike is easy enough to navigate on your own.
There are plenty of cafes and restaurants on the hill by the main road adjacent to the terrace where you could chill out enjoying the spectaculer view of the cascading rice field.
Plan your hike as there are many paths and entrances to the field. It'd take around 2 hrs to explore. Mind you that some paths are quite steep and most are made of dirt. During raining season could get a little slippery. Don't forget to bring water and put on some sunscreen if you decided to explore.
The best time to visit would be early in the morning or late in the afternoon. During the day it could get hot and humid.
