Tegallalang
The emerald-green rice terraces in the river gorge north of Tegallalang village in central Bali.
The Balinese rice terraces go back over 2,000 years when hard-working farmers with primitive hand tools began carving the stepped terraces out of steep hill sides. Generation after generation has extended and kept them in meticulous shape out of necessity - rice is the staple food of the islanders.
