This is an easy trail to walk and scenic as well
Advisable to go early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the glaring sun. It gets really hot by late morning or noon
There are 2 points of entry. Either way works
Not a loop
So one needs to walk back to where the car is parked
Quite a few cafe at the end of the walk, incase need a refreshment or hungry

Beautiful place to walk around, the route is sign posted. Paid 10,000pp for entry and a wristband. Be warned if you go near Ceking Sari Luwark coffee the man there will try to convince you that the terrace walk is closed and to go into his coffee shop. There is a route to the terraces on the right that passes a different restaurant, there may be other routes in too.
Take small change to donate to the rice workers. We paid 3000 to a friendly farmer.

One of the famous tourist attractions of Bali is Tegallalang Rice Terrace. The rice fields were naturally located in the mountains in the form of mineral steps that had very beautiful views. And it is a good place for photography. I just recommend not to go there at noon because the weather is very hot. The best time to visit is at sunrise. There are many tours for cycling and watching the sunrise here. Many handicrafts are sold around this place. We bought our beautiful straw hats that you see in the picture from here.

Only worth it if you want the staged photos, you can make only one prearranged rice stop, or you want to hit Bali Pulina plantation, really. As you approach you already get the touts trying to wave you in to their (pay) parking. Keep going till you see an open spot. Your next battle is the guys trying to charge entrance fee. Pick the entrance you can battle into or one with a cafe and argue that you're going to get something in there. It's a small amount but it's a scam 🙄. If you don't want to do the photos or swing, i think there's only one more "donation" spot for "other farmers property" and he's fine if you just put like 2k in. We stopped for a drink at the ladies' cafe on the opposite side and they let us use the toilet for free since we bought something. The steps aren't really all that breathtaking or exciting, in MY opinion, unless you don't have time to see any other rice fields... There are at least 2 you can walk to in downtown Ubud.

If you are into nature kind of traveller, make sure to visit this place.
TOP TIPS!
* if you are coming by car, you can only park at nearby parking area and if they offer you to buy tickets, opt not to but because there is big possibility you will not be asked for the tickets to get in, unless you get into the rice terrace through access from a restaurant.
* Get down to the rice terrace using the stairs that has no people (not from restaurant or cafe), so it will be free access.
* Inside the terrace, if there is some locals offer to quick access (through a closed fench), please be ready to pay.
Overall a great experience, the pathway are random and get to the top and you can see almost all the rice terrace view. If you want extraordinary experience try their swing for only IDR 100,000 (including 5 mins swing and photos & videos on your phone).
However don't rush to get one, there are plenty swings around. chose the one that has the background view you want.

The rice terraces are beautiful. But you get pestered by all kinds of vendors to buy their wares or use the jungle swing. Our guide paid for entrance fee, still another local tried to tell us that we had to make a donation. And remember, when you go down , you also have to come back up again.

Nice trek and wonderful views. Beautiful pictures. I advise to go early in the morning to better deal with the hot clima and enjoy it peacefully without too many visitors. It is not a difficult trek but you should use appropriate shoes. Easy to flip in the mud... i just lost my sun glasses there. There are some beautiful terraces where you can enjoy the views. There's also entertainment with some swings in some terraces - not my thing!, i would prefer it without it.

The first stop that you should make is at Tegalalang Rice Terraces. Most of the local Balinese people makes a living as a farmer, specializing as a rice farmer. Hence, there are many rice terraces in Bali. In Ubud, the most photogenic one is Tegalalang Rice Terraces. The entrance fee is Rp 15,000 IDR per person. Tegalalang rice terraces during sunrise brighten the surroundings and crank up the photo’s saturation

I’m sure this would have been a memorable place to visit, had it not been for the many tourist traps that lined the entrance of the terrace. There are different entrances leading to the rice field, some of them going through cafes and shops. At other entrances, there are people waiting for you to take pictures by their swings. They walk down with you and lead you down the wrong way towards their businesses. We did get some nice shots on the swings (which are supposed to be cheaper than Bali Swing), but realised later on that we were supposed to enter from elsewhere. The bridge was broken so we couldn’t go all the way down either.

Harvesting takes place from April to May and October to November. It is during these times that you can observe some activities in the fields. If you are looking for the iconic lush emerald rice terrace, it's best to go during the wet season from October to March.

You have the entrance fee of 10,000 rupiah but make sure you have some small notes as you will be stopped a number of times at small shelters along the path asking for a "donation" if you want to continue through.
Hi. Where did you park your bicycles when visiting Tegallalang Rice Terrace? Is it safe to park your bicycles and how much does it cost to park your bicycles?

there are restaurants along the terraces. behind them (rear) there are parking where you can leave the bicycles. The exit road is hardly visible and steep. Be careful.I didn't see that you had to pay.

Hi, can we visit this place with a 5 month old whom we will be carrying in a baby carrier? Is the walk simple enough or will it be tricky with baby? Thanks a lot for your time.

I think you will be ok with the baby in a carrier, especially if you are tall or at least average height - as some of the concrete steps are quite big. There are side paths to stop on.

Parto il 27 per Bali con 2 bimbi piccoli. Ci sono per caso tantissime zanzare? C’è davvero l’allarme Dengue? Ho sempre girato tranquilla e spensierata dappertutto e adesso ho un po’ di paura. Grazie a chi risponderà.

Ciao!!ormai sarete arrivati...ma noi ad Agosto non abbiamo avuto problemi di zanzare...neppure in hotel che era in mezzo alle risaie (forse dobbiamo ringraziare i numerosi gechi).
Abbiano preso l’autan tropicale ma sinceramente ce lo siamo messo una volta e poi l’abbiamo abbandonato...Buona vacanza!

Didn’t do the Sky Bike however saw someone going over on it. Looked interesting and fairly secure. Maybe someone else has used it.

My family and I are hoping to visit the rice terraces around 7:30-8:00am to have a quick look around, not our first time, and to have breakfast there before we move onto our next stop on our private tour. Any good places for breakfast with a view serving smoothie bowls etc?

I’m not sure who serves smoothie bowls. We only visited the Dewi Cafe which is at the furthest point however if your driver stopped along the main road you could easily view the menus of a couple of places and find one that suits. Enjoy.
