Mancingan Rice Terrace in Manukaya, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, is a working rice terrace with free entry (not a paid swing park). A typical visit is 45-60 minutes. There is no mandatory ticket booth; a voluntary community donation box usually suggests about IDR 10,000-20,000 per person. Fields stay active farmland, most comfortable by daylight (mornings are cooler and quieter). It suits guests who want a calmer stop near the busy Tegallalang corridor.
Plan Your Visit
Hours: Daytime only; these paddies are still worked.
No formal closing time; avoid night and heavy rain.
Working farmland: no formal closing time, but visit in daylight (mornings are coolest). The ticket strip shows free entry (0/0); a voluntary donation about IDR 10,000-20,000 per person at the community box is not an official gate tariff. Parking is situational: sometimes free, sometimes a local asks a small contribution - bring Indonesian cash. Wear grippy shoes for dirt, thin mud, or wet paths after rain. Respect farmers: stay on allowed paths, do not step on rice, pick crops, or enter work zones. There are no Instagram swings or commercial photo parks - set expectations before you go. Drones: ask residents/farmers first; do not fly near homes or workers. Skip or shorten if heavy rain (slippery) or you need swing/warung facilities like Tegallalang. Confirm access with an agent the day before, especially if pairing with Tirta Empul.

A quieter morning alternative to Tegallalang on a Custom Ubud / Tampaksiring corridor day (about 60 minutes dwell), then continue to Tirta Empul or Gunung Kawi. Ask an agent for a morning slot for softer light and drier paths after rain. Order the day in the Bali Itinerary Planner (/bali-itinerary-planner) so Ubud-Tampaksiring drive time stays realistic before midday temple queues.
