Tegallalang Rice Terrace is one of Bali's most photographed landscapes, a sweeping cascade of emerald-green paddies carved into the hillsides north of Ubud. The terraces follow a centuries-old cooperative irrigation system called subak, a UNESCO-recognised tradition in which water temples and local farming communities coordinate the flow of water across the land. It's not just agriculture — it's a living expression of Balinese Hindu philosophy, where the health of the rice fields is understood as spiritually inseparable from the wellbeing of the community.
