This scenic walk follows hidden trails along riverbanks  and through rice paddies and coconut plantations. Along the way, discover the centuries-old Balinese  Subak irrigation system, a method that ensures even water distribution among farmers. This region in  Tabanan, often called Bali’s granary, is famed for vast rice fields that that supply much of the island’s  rice.
