"Amazing hidden gem, probably the fastest and closest way to experience walking through rice paddies in the center of Ubud. The small narrow path leading through a magical, green rice fields. It offers calmness, relaxation of your mind and soul. It's a nice walk and a quick taste of the more traditional countryside of Ubud. Just follow the sign and it will loop back into the center of town."
