Tegalalang is quintessential Indonesia. It is exactly what many Westerners picture out this beautiful country to be with endless rice paddies and charming rural bungalows. It cannot be stressed enough how important rice is to the history and culture of Tegalalang. Rice terraces–layers of rice cascading one over the other–are not only beautiful and Instagrammable but also functional. Terraces make use of an irrigation system called subak which allows the water to flow naturally on to the next layer below it, lessening the load for many rice farmers to fetch water for its water-dependent rice stalks. Go to Tegalalang’s rice terraces in the morning to avoid the drove of tourists trying to take that breathtaking photo. And when you’re done, relax back in bed. Have a little breakfast and plan for the rest of the day. Speaking of beds, here are a couple of bed options in Tegalalang, Indonesia. Try some of Indonesia’s famous charming accommodations.
