Explore Nature in Bali
Rice Terraces
Tegalalang Rice Terraces can be found just north outside of Ubud, with some awe-inspiring views of the cascading terraces sloping on the hillsides. The traditional irrigation system developed by the Balinese in the 9th century, called subak, feeds the verdant fields.
Explore the rice paddies by following the path from the road, where local farmers might ask you for a small donation to enter. Sometimes they may also ask for an extra IDR50,000 if you want to take a photo in their field.
Take a break or have a slow morning at one of the cafes located along the roadside, or visit the kiosks selling their wares. Snap a photo at the Love Bali sign near the entrance to the paddies and don’t forget to bring water and snacks if you’ll be exploring the fields.
Only a twenty-minute drive from Ubud, or a one to two-hour drive from south Bali, drive your rented motorbike or car hire to the roadside entrance of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces.

Waterfalls
Among the many natural wonders Bali has to offer, the Sekumpul Waterfalls rank among the most majestic attractions. Groups of narrow cascades lure visitors to their pools, where they drop up to 80 meters (263ft) to the valley below.
While the path from parking to waterfall is steep—comprised of dirt roads, rocky paths, hundreds of steep steps, and flowing rivers—visitors manage to finish the approximate half-hour hike to a wondrous and riveting reward.

One of the most photogenic waterfalls in Bali, this unique natural cascade is fast becoming one of the island’s most popular waterfalls due to its Instagram-worthy surrounds. The pools are hidden in a cavernous and maze-like rock formation about an hour’s drive northeast of Ubud.
Be prepared to trek through winding caves, wade through shallow waters, and snap the perfect photos. A particularly unique feature of the Tukad Cepung Waterfall are the rays of sunlight that shine through the rock formations, causing streaks of ‘heaven’s light’ as they are called, creating a magical and majestic backdrop.

Mountains
Nature enthusiasts who love hiking and want to immerse themselves in the tropical Bali landscape while absorbing local culture should head to the Kintamani and Mount Batur area. Found in north east Bali, the climate is notably cooler than in the lowlands of south Bali. Mount Batur holds significant spiritual importance to the Balinese, second only to Mount Agung. Plan a visit to the Pura Batur temple for an architectural feast. As a still-active volcano, trekkers should check conditions with their agency before heading up the mountain. A sunrise trek up Mount Batur can lead to breathtaking panoramas once up the volcano, best seen in the months from January to June. A more adrenaline-packed alternative to hiking is the Black Lava Jeep Tour that heads around Mount Batur.
Kintamani, at an elevation of 1,500m above sea level, offers up grand views of the majestic mountain range and lower lying areas. Kintamani holds a vibrant market every three days where you can take the chance to get cheap Indonesian food and freshly-caught fish from the lake. In nearby Penulisan, you can find the perfect spot to capture a viewpoint of Gunung Batur, Gunung Abang, and Gunung Agung. Pura Puncak Penulisan is also in this village, and it is considered the highest temple in Bali at 1,745m above sea level.
