Another highlight of Ubud is the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, which showcase the traditional Balinese subak irrigation system. Visitors can take a leisurely walk through the terraces, enjoying the stunning views and serene atmosphere. This area is also a great spot for photography, as the vibrant green of the rice paddies contrasts beautifully with the sky.
