History
The rice terraces here are shaped by the Subak irrigation system, a community-managed network that dates back centuries and underpins local agricultural and spiritual life.
Conservation
Staying on designated tracks reduces erosion and protects irrigation channels; operators typically avoid driving through active rice paddies to respect farmers and the Subak system.
