The terraced ricefields in Bali are unique landscapes that show combination of the nature and human beings. Terracing on steep slopes is aimed to maximize the land usage for rice planting, and to protect the land from erosion. Water from the river gorges (below rice terraces) is used for irrigating the ricefields.


Jatiluwih
Rice terraces in Jatiluwih are some of the oldest on the Bali island and stretching down to the sea in the far distance. You will see fabulous panorama scene of rice terraces here.

Entrance fees was charged by the local people since recent years.

















Tegallalang
Another nice place for seeing rice terraces. No charges here, but beware of those local hawkers who peddling their goods to tourists. They tried to get your attention by offering prices as low as 1dollar. Don't be tricked.
