Private Besakih Temple and Mahagiri Rice Terrace in Ubud
Full description
This is a 6-hour experience from Ubud, built around Mother Temple of Besakih and Mahagiri Panoramic Resort & Restaurant. It is run by CV MUTIARA BALI TOURS, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
The Tegallalang terraces are twenty minutes north of Ubud on the road to Kintamani, and they are working paddies fed by the subak irrigation system that UNESCO listed in 2012. Before about 8:30 in the morning the valley belongs to the farmers, the paddies are still wet from the night, and it is cool enough to walk down through the terraces and up the far side. By ten the coaches from the south arrive and the road above the terraces becomes a line of cafes, swings and photo platforms. There is a small entry fee at the viewpoint, and farmers along the paths through the fields ask for a few thousand rupiah to cross their land, which is normal. The swings are separate businesses with their own prices.
Pickup is offered from Ubud and Badung Regency; the exact spot and time are agreed with CV MUTIARA BALI TOURS once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.
The price covers Private air-conditioned transport with hotel pick-up and, driver as your private guide throughout the day, licenced tourist guide, Bottled mineral water to keep you refreshed and Sarong rental for temple visits. It does not cover Personal expenses and souvenirs, Tips and gratuities, Additional food and drinks beyond bottled water and Breakfast or Lunch, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Traveler Reviews
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If you’re thinking about an excursion in Sidemen, choose this one! (Even if it doesn't seems like the cheapest option at first glance, so much is included...) With AGUS, you get an incredibly likable guide who explains everything about Balinese culture—whether it’s temples, religion, or plants—with fantastic humor and vast knowledge. Plus, he’s a great photographer! The excursion was so diverse (Temple, Riceterrasse, Café, lokal Farm, Swing) and packed with information and fun that it felt like two days rolled into one. Thanks a Million to Agus for this wonderful day!
