One of the top ten things to see in Bali and front and center in every guidebook, these rice terraces are stunning. They give a new meaning to the word green. They crawl up the sides of the hills like steps leading you towards the sky. And like so much of Bali, the terraces are as equally empty as they are beautiful. Except for a few people from nearby resorts, you won’t see anybody here. Moreover, there’s even less people walking through the rice fields- it’s just you and nature.

The Jatiluwih rice terraces are located in the middle of Bali near Ganung Batukaru. The area is very rural with nothing but farming communities and a few high end mountain resorts . It’s rural Bali at its best.
