Discover the breathtaking panorama Of Jatiluwih

If you are a nature lover don’t
miss Jatiluwih, it is a breathtaking panorama of fertile rice
terrace’s that stretch from the foothills of Batukaru volcano to
the south coast. It is located at the western district of
Tabanan at a height of height of 800 meters above sea level.
This western uplands of Batukaru are famed for magnificent
landscapes. The view from the mountain village, Jatiluwih, takes
in the whole of South Bali. Perched on a high terraced slope,
Jatiluwih deserves its name, which means “Truly Marvelous”. A
wonder of the world. It’s worth a venture.
After passing the town of Tabanan the road takes you to the
north through the villages of Wanasari, Jegu, Buruan and Wangaya
Gede. On the route you will be amazed by the wonderful rural
ambience; farmhouses, a little shrine to place offerings
dedicated to Dewi Sri the Goddess of rice, flocks of ducks that
are brought to bathe and feed all day in the flooded paddies,
and farmers harvesting or ploughing. Observe many kinds of
tropical vegetation; coffee, coconuts, cacaos, cloves, jack
fruits, bananas, papayas, sirsaks, an extremely juicy fruit,
rambutans, mangoes, durians the smelly fruit.

At Wanasari stop to enter the world of the butterflies and
experience the beauty, variety and delicate wonder of nature's
amazing creations. Covering 3,500 square meters, the enclosed
gardens of the park create an ecosystem for study, breeding and
protection of butterflies. This is the largest park of its kind
in Southeast Asia. And it contains a myriad of species from all
over Indonesia, including the rare Bird Wing Butterfly. This is
a wonderful and unique educational outing and experience for all
ages. You will need to pay an entry fee if you wish to make this
stop.
And then nearby the temple Pura Luhur is the holy spring of Air
Panas, where hot water surges from the river bank.
Then, the last destination (the goal of the journey) is the
mountain village Jatiluwih, a breathtaking panorama of the most
fertile rice fields/terraces on the island for as far as the eye
can see. These rice terraces are undoubtedly the most beautiful
in Bali and it's easy to see why. It is said to be the granary
of the whole Bali. Perched on a high terraced slope, Jatiluwih
deserves its name, “Truly Marvelous”. The cascading terraces of
rice fields are the most striking features of the landscape,
stretching from the foothill of Batukaru volcano to the south
coast. The cool western uplands, overlooking half the island,
offer magnificent views. It's hard to imagine that these rice
fields are made by hand. They were created in this way because
land became scarce and the Balinese were urged to divide land
into several patches of land leading into a close organization
among the farmers called the "subak". Arrive at lunchtime and
enjoy a meal in the restaurant while soaking up the view, cool
climate and fresh air.
So keep this in mind for your holiday, it is not the typical
tourist outing here in Bali but its an adventure that you will
I’m your will thoroughly enjoy and remember for a long time
after.
