Full description
This is a 4-hour experience in Ubud. It is run by Sidemen tour guide, 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.
The price covers Guided rice field trekking, Cooking experience, host and guide, All cooking ingredients and equipment and Welcome drink. It does not cover Personal expenses, Extra drinks outside the experience, Hotel transfer and Tips for the guide and local host, 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.
Sidemen tour guide sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sidemen tour guide before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Excellente excursion. Randonnée dans les rizières hors des sentiers battus. Cours de cuisine dans une adorable famille. Vraiment tout était parfait ! On recommande vivement ! Merci encore!
Must-do in Sidemen! Ontzettend leuke ervaring! We werden heel warm ontvangen door de lieve en gastvrije mensen. De kookworkshop was gezellig, leerzaam en we hebben veel geleerd over de Balinese keuken en de verschillende ingrediënten. Het eten was echt ontzettend lekker en er was meer dan genoeg. We hebben genoten van alle gerechten die we zelf mochten bereiden. Een absolute aanrader als je in Sidemen bent! Bedankt voor de geweldige middag en de gastvrijheid.
La trekking était incroyable nous avons vu des paysages luxuriant et notre guide a pris le temps de tout nous expliquer, elle était très sympathique. L’activité culinaire était top, nous avons pu préparer des plats balinais dans la joie et la bonne humeur
We had an absolutely wonderful time trekking with Yuli! The trek was very enriching and allowed us to discover places that we would never have been able to access on our own. Yuli took us through beautiful and authentic areas and shared interesting information about the rice fields, local life, and the surrounding nature. She was also happy to answer all our questions and give us more information whenever we asked. We highly recommend this experience! We also had an absolutely wonderful time learning traditional Balinese cooking! Juny and her friend Putu were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and
Paseo por los arrozales espectacular y clase de cocina super divertida. Recomendable 100%
Nous avons adoré notre expérience avec Juni et Kadek. Ils sont d’une grande gentillesse et la richesse de leur culture fut très agréable pour nous. Le repas était délicieux et quel plaisir de cuisiner avec des hôtes aussi gentils et attentionnés. Nous recommandons, même avec un enfant de 4 ans, notre fille a adoré.
