TEGALALANG RICE TERRACES: IS IT REALLY WORTH YOUR TIME?

Categories

In the summer of 2016, Berty and I basically did a tour around Indonesia. We visited Berty’s family in Jakarta, had a mountain retreat in Malang, and beach-hopped on West Timor. In the end, we met up with our friends for a last hurrah in Bali. During our stay in Bali, Berty and I sat with our lovely host Polyn on her tropical porch and asked her all about what we should see. We wanted to know all the CLASSIC Bali stops, even the tourist-y ones. She gave us great suggestions: Kuta Beach, The Monkey Forest Sanctuary, and Tirta Gangga to name a few. However, our favorite suggestion was Tegalalang Rice Terraces located in Ubud, Bali. This was a brand new experience for us and we were eager to see it with our own eyes!

Must watch Kecak Dance!!!

Categories

Uluwatu Temple is located at the southernmost tip of Bali. We hopped on a cab who agreed to bring us to Uluwatu, dinner at Jimbaran and back to Kuta for Rp250, 000. Entering into the temple will cost you Rp15,000 and you will be given sarong and sash if you're wearing shorts. Anything below the knee is fine. In the temple you will find monkeys, monkeys and more monkeys. These are extremely aggressive monkeys who will grab anything even non food items like hats, towels, toys, camera. Hold on to your things very tight because once they get it, that's the end of it. The temple is breathtakingly located on a cliff plunging down to the sea. Very beautiful and very dangerous. Please don't go beyond the walls. The must do here is to watch the Kecak & Fire dance. Ticket is Rp 70, 000 and you will get the story outline in various languages (incl. English, Chinese, Japanese, etc). The best (and safest) place to sit is right at the top. There will be fire so being on ground level is quite dangerous.
