Jatiluwih village


Jatiluwih Tourist Village, located in Penebel District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, is a hidden gem nestled on the slopes of Mount Batukaru, standing approximately 685 meters above sea level. On June 29, 2012, Jatiluwih gained international recognition when its traditional irrigation system, Subak, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rooted in the Tri Hita Karana philosophy of Hinduism, the Subak system reflects harmony and balance between humans, nature, and spirituality. Established as early as the 11th century, Subak is not just an irrigation method, but a way of life that emphasizes sustainability and environmental harmony.

Surrounded by 24 hectares of protected forest, Jatiluwih is home to a variety of endemic flora and fauna, including rare bird species and animals such as the Javan slow loris. Visitors often spot these creatures while trekking or cycling along scenic trails that wind through the rice terraces and dense tropical forest.

It’s a destination where visitors can indulge in outdoor activities such as trekking and cycling on paths that seamlessly connect the rice fields with the surrounding forest, creating an unforgettable experience in Bali's natural beauty. The village also hosts traditional festivals and ceremonies, providing guests with a chance to immerse themselves in the rich local culture and traditions.
