What to expect
You'll start from Ubud and head toward Keliki on foot, moving through forest cover and open paddy. The paths are real working routes used by farmers, not manicured tourist trails. Expect muddy patches, steep sections and uneven ground. Your guide will point out how the subak system distributes water across terraces, explain seasonal crops, and answer questions about village life. After 2–3 hours of walking, you'll reach a spot to rest and eat. The meal is simple, local food—nothing fancy, but honest and filling.
