Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

The Rice fields of Jatiluwih give a new meaning to the word green. They crawl up the sides of the hills like steps leading you towards the sky. And like so much of Bali, the terraces are as equally empty as they are beautiful. Jatiluwih was recently listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its preservation of traditional Balinese farming techniques. So you can imagine, we both were sweept away from its stunning beauty and the infinite freedom of peace as there was hardly any one up there and the temperature was quite pleasant seeing we were on 700 metres above sea level and approximately 48km away from Denpasar.
