What’s the cheapest way to explore Bali’s rice terraces without hiring a car?

Join organized group tours that use local scooters; they often bundle transport and a guide for less than hiring a vehicle yourself. Alternatively, hitchhike between villages—most locals are friendly and will give you a ride for a small tip. Purchase a day pass for the Tegallalang terrace if you plan to walk multiple paths, as it’s cheaper than paying each entrance.
