Discover the Serenity of Ubud’s Rice Fields

If you are seeking a day if serenity, breathtaking landscapes and a touch of Balinese culture, the rice terraces of Ubud should be at the top of you list. #bali #ubud 🌾 Start your yourney with an early morning visit to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, just a short drive from Ubud town. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers picture-perfect layers of terraces fields as far as the eye can see. Arrive early to beat the crowds and watch the sunrise cast a golden glow over the paddies - it’s pure magic! #tegalalang If you are feeling adventurous, give the iconic Tegalalang Swing a try, nothing compares to flying over the terraces with the wind in your hair! 🛕 Around midday, head to Tirta Empul Temple, just a short drive away. This sacred water temple is a spiritual experience where you can witness locals performing purification rituals in the holy springs. #culturalattractions 🍲For lunch, try a local warung. Treat yourself to traditional Balinese dishes like nasi campur or bebek betutu. Our hotel recommended to try Warung Makan Teges. #deliciousfood 🌅 As the day winds down, take a peaceful stroll along Campuhan Ridge Walk. Offers stunning views over the valley with the lush rice terraces on one side and the jungle on the other. #sunset #photography Travel Tips: - Arrive early to avoid crowds. Visit Campuhan Ridge Walk for sunrise if you want the path empty and have a coffee at Karsa Café. - Dress respectfully if visiting temples. - Stay hydrated in Bali’s tropical heat. - Wear comfortable shoes. If you want to experience an off-the-beaten-path, seek out a Balinese healer. Ubud is known for its deep connection to wellness and traditional healing. #localguides

#balionbudget Bali’s Hidden Gems for Budget Travelers 🏝️💸 Bali has far more to offer than its famous beaches! Dive into a wallet-friendly adventure that blends temples, rice fields, and authentic local experiences—all easy on your budget. Explore iconic spots and some lesser-known treasures, with simple ways to save. Start your day at the serene Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang; open daily 7 AM–6 PM). Wander lush green paddies, snap “insta-worthy” pics from the central ridge, and pop by nearby cafes for local bites. Early mornings mean softer light, fewer crowds, and cheaper transport options. Head south to Tirta Empul Temple (Jl. Tirta, Manukaya, Tampaksiring; open daily 7 AM–5 PM)—join locals in a traditional water purification ritual. The best photo spot is from the elevated walkway, overlooking the ritual pools; remember to wear respectful attire (sarong rental available at the entrance). Finish at Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave, Bedulu, Gianyar; open daily 8 AM–4 PM), an ancient sanctuary with historic carvings and a jungle vibe. Snap the moss-covered entrance for atmospheric shots and explore the tranquil bathing pools behind the cave. Local tip: Use bluebird taxis or Gojek, much cheaper than tourist drivers. Bring your own water and snacks—the stalls at tourist sites are pricier. Carry cash for entrance fees (usually 30–50k IDR per site) to avoid ATM withdrawal fees. Precautions: Watch your step on narrow rice field paths (slippery after rain!) and beware of monkeys at temples. Don’t flash valuables—keep your bag zipped. #Bali #BalionBudget #HiddenGems #RiceTerrace #TravelTips
