There is something soothingly scenic about rice paddies. The green that stretches of such paddies is deep yet soft and gives you an aching temptation to run your fingers along the grass and sail through it- of course the feeling is far different when you actually try stepping into it! But in terms of scenic appeal, it is certainly unmatched and in the outskirts of Ubud, you can find plenty of such experiences. Steps and steps of rolling rice paddies stretch for several kilometers creating the picture perfect scenery.
For the best of the rice paddy experience visit Tegallalang; a small town located on the Northeast of Ubud. Tegallalang is famous for Balis’s most exotic rice terraces. The entire village of Tegallang feels more like a tourists hit because anyone stepping in to this beauty finds it quite hard to step out. You will know you are in Tegallalang when you see the post cards stacked with ever green rice paddy pictures printed on them. The Rice Paddies dominate the entire village of Tegallalang. One good route to enjoy the best of scenic appeal is to visit Jalan Raya, head eastward up to the center of the town and then go up north once again. On the top of this route you will experience some of the most breathtaking scenery dominated by rice paddies and ornamented by every other piece of complementing natural wonder. The best way to experience this area is by bicycle. There are actually no steep hills here so cycling is actually comfortable. While you are on the ride take in the fresh un-spoilt breeze that gently caresses your face with a whiff of the typical paddy smell. This indulgence is by far the best way to experience nature’s blessings on Bali.
