Carved like emerald steps into Ubud’s natural amphitheatres, locals say the spirit of the rice goddess still watches over the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terrace, blessing the fields with life and balance. Also known as Ceking, the terraces are a large collection of beautiful verdant rice paddies, carved into the hillside by generations of farmers and shaped by centuries of Balinese ingenuity.

Spanning approximately nine kilometres, the famous Campuhan Ridge walk is a narrow spine between the eastern and western branches of Ubud’s Wos Rivers. Literally meaning the ‘joining of the waters’, the Campuhan hamlet meanders through a lush valley hinterland. Dense river ravines quickly give way to an undulating sea of electric green rice fields and a mosaic of cascading terraces around the village of Bangkiang Sidem.
