Just Alright - Tegalalang and Goa Raja

After trekking up Mt. Batur, your driver would usually try to bundle some locations to visit around that area of Ubud since it would be convenient. Goa Raja and Tegalalang are the popular places people choose to visit after the trek. Overall I would say it isn’t really worth it. And you’re much better off finding another private driver to take you around other locations in Ubud. Goa Raja is famous for the waterfall but there’s really nothing else there. Additionally, the waterfall isn’t as impressive you’d think. It’s rather small and the water was mostly brown. Tegalalang was much better but extremely commercialised. You had to pay to do anything. To take pictures, walk a trek or sit a swing. If you really want to you could get great shots here. But knowing that there are other padi fields around that are more untouched and free for you to explore, it just makes this place a hard sell for me. #bali #padifield #waterfall
