History
Ubud grew as a center for arts and royal patronage; the subak irrigation system that shapes the rice terraces reflects a centuries-old communal water management tied to Balinese Hindu practice.
Conservation
The subak system and temple complexes face pressure from tourism; stick to marked paths, avoid littering, and don’t feed wildlife to limit human impact.
