The beautiful picture shows only a tiny fraction of the natural beauty you can find in the Pantunan valley at Bangbang village, Tembuku, Bangli.

The name means 'valley of rice fields' and originates from the Balinese words pantun, meaning rice. This green carpet of rice fields with hills at the background is very easy to get from other tourist destinations, being about 30 km from Penelokan Kintamani, and about 15 km from Besakih Temple.

Tourists who come to Bali, especially those visiting the island for the first time, generally love to see the rice fields set out in shimmering green. You should definitely take the chance to witness this natural beauty, while you will also come across temples scattered here and there among the villages and hills.

The road to Pantunan Valley is in good condition, so you shouldn't have any problems in viewing this astonishing scenery on a day trip to Batur Lake and Besakih Temple.
