Start at a viewpoint on the ridge for the classic view down the valley. Then follow the paths down through the terraces, crossing small bridges and irrigation channels, and climb the far side for a different angle. Watch farmers at work in the paddies when the crops are growing. Optional extras such as swings and photo nests are offered along the paths for a fee.
No rail or metro on Bali; arrive by road. Public parking on Jalan I Wayan Lunga, near the terraces (mapped on OpenStreetMap) As of Oct 2026
The terraces are in Tegallalang village, a drive north of Ubud; come by car, taxi or scooter and use the nearby public parking.
Step-free accessThe operator does not state step-free access; guides describe stairs and narrow paths along and down the terraces and say they are not stroller-friendly.
Several entrances are run by local landowners, each with its own small booth, as of Oct 2026. Guides say cash is needed for entry, path donations and parking, so carry small notes. The Book box on this page shows partner day tours and current prices.
The terraces are usually open in daylight, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM every day, as of Oct 2026. Early morning tends to be cooler and calmer, with soft light over the paddies, while crowds and heat usually build towards midday. Each entrance booth is run by local landowners, so carry small notes.
In our plans: Day 2, “Tegallalang Rice Terraces & Tirta Empul”. The terraces lie north of central Ubud, so many visitors pair them with a morning in Ubud or the water temple at Tirta Empul. An early start beats the heat and the midday crowds.
There is no rail or metro on Bali, so visitors arrive by road, usually by car, taxi or scooter from central Ubud, as of Oct 2026. Public parking sits on Jalan I Wayan Lunga near the terraces, and the map on this page shows where it is.
Next stop: Taxi · about 11–22 min
