Loved this video! I felt like watching a Ghibli movie. Warm feeling and exceptional videography. Often, these travel vloggers focus more on themselves with revealing clothes and lip fillers😂. Your video has a warm touch and very well portrays the scenery of Bali.

[deekshanautiyal]

We are staying in Ubud next month and your journey through the less travelled rice terraces was a great insight into the real Ubud, Bali. Thank you

[okymahendra]

hy, my mother comes from banjar mancingan, When I was little I often played in the rice fields

[OurTinyAdventure]

Your videos are really good 👍 We're in Ubud now for the second time and you have really captured the essence of this place.

[jatmikaaditya]

You did the traditional tourist experience in Bali. Too many clubs in Bali now that spoil the essence of Bali: Peace, Tranquility, Kindness. I’ve visited BALI 9times since 2004. Each visit, becomes more bittersweet.

[MawangHujan-flzn]

There are many bigger and beautiful rice teraces in Indonesia. But People only know Bali.

There are many places also with similar natures like those in China.

I am from Sulawesi. I often watch videos or documentary about nature in China, then I realize that those looks a little bit similar as the place in Sulawesi. Even other Indonesian from other Islands don't know much about Sulawesi.

Thank you again for your amazing footage and commentary. I must be a bit slow as while I was admiring your fantastic footage, I missed the captions with the restaurant names etc so had to rewind a few times. It would be great for me if you could flash them up for a few seconds longer. Not sure if that would detract from the vlog for other people though, so it is just a small suggestion. I’ve been to Ubud a number of times and agree completely with your views. As stated in other comments, there are many more rice fields and terraces in Bali that are also in my opinion are far more beautiful in their natural state. The local people working the rice fields in my experience have always been so friendly and happy to share with you if you engage them. I’ve got some great photo’s with them while I thrashed the rice and pretended to help out.

Funny enough, they just repaired that exact road with the holes that you filmed. It was the worst one in Ubud.

Hi Jh, you can explore less touristy area such as Karangasem or Buleleng.
A little beat west of Bali is also a national park and resort and across is Menjangan island

[jonathanahmad]

Actually, the rice fields in Java are more beautiful and more natural than Bali. Rice fields in Java are more spacious and natural without tourism frills, pure local wisdom.
