Cycle or walk through the rice terraces of Ubud

The views of the Ubud’s famous UNESCO listed emerald green rice paddies and stunningly sculpted rice terraces are one of the must see sights in Bali. The majestic views over the rice terraces offer the perfect photo opportunity; but, for the more active and adventurous visitor, there is much more to do here than just click photos.

Ubud is cooler than most of Bali and so it’s a perfect spot to get active. You can explore the scenery in more detail by simply taking a walk, joining a rice field trek or a bicycle tour. Enjoy soaking up the amazing views of the vast expanses of stepped green rice paddies and see local Balinese villages and farming communities, coffee plantations, fruit orchards, craft workshops and traditional Balinese homes. The rice field treks and bike tours are mostly downhill, so it’s a wonderful and not too strenuous way to experience the stunning natural beauty of inland Bali.
