Tabanan area has always been the top rice producer of Bali and it shows ! While Tabanan town has little noteworthy stop, the sights in the hinterland are awesome. Every village you pass by, bears signs of the subak, an ancestral organisation, which governs Bali's complex yet completeley unmechanised irrigation system - an immense network of tunnels, channels and tiny dams, perhaps dating back to the 7th century AD. Venture into the hills east of this medium-sized town, and you'll drive through some of the most beautiful ricefields the island has to offer to any visitor.
