Description
Get off the beaten tourist track for a glimpse into real local life on a guided hike through the rice terraces of Kerobokan. Marvel at the stunning emerald terraces first planted by Hindu priests when they arrived in Bali in the 9th century, then enjoy some refreshing coconut water or coffee after. Choose between a shared tour with other travelers or a private tour for just you and your group. Whichever you select, begin your tour at the meeting point, then set off to the serene rice fields, far removed from the bustling beaches of Bali's tourist zones. Upon arrival, your guide will explain how the ancient 'subak' irrigation system works, first introduced to Bali over 1,200 years ago but still in use today. More than simply watering plants, the subak system is central to the local culture and creates ecosystems for new life. Get a greater understanding of the importance of subak to the local community by visiting a local subak temple, a gathering place for farmers. Find out about water priests that honor the relationship between humans, the Earth, and the gods at these community temples. Next, walk from here into the expansive rice fields of Kerobokan and begin a trek of about two to three kilometers through the terraces, using the tops of the walls as a pathway. Cross over rivers, carefully treading over the farmers’ bamboo bridges from one rice field to the next. Hear how the local farmers don’t just grow rice, but also tomatoes, beans, bananas, eggplant, chilies, corn, sugar cane, and water snails. Find out about the aquatic species — including frogs, fish, crabs, and snails — that call the rice fields home, and learn how this ecosystem all works together. After the trek, stop off at a small café and drink some fresh coconut water or coffee with some light snacks. Also enjoy a gift of an udeng for men or sash for women during the tour. The tour concludes with a return to the starting point.Includes
