Enjoy The Unrivalled Views
Sekinchan is indeed famous for its wide expanse of rice fields, as far as the eye can see. For city dwellers especially, the soothing sight of paddy fields will definitely make you feel excited.
This is the time to let the children know what a paddy plant looks like that produces rice. It is recommended to come in the season of ripe rice. At that time, the whole paddy field looked yellow like gold glittering in the sunlight. Definitely a different experience than others.
Paddy fields in Sekinchan is grown twice a year, from March to June, and from September to December. Therefore, the paddy fields are empty from January to February and from July to August, so it is important to come at the right time so as not to go home feeling empty.

Rice terrace hike
Bali is known for its rice terraces or padi fields, where tiered levels of rice fields form that iconic wave-like facade along the sides of the mountains. This rice terrace had easily walkable stairs and paths that had a fairly smooth terrain. Many photo-worthy spots here with beautiful nature and greenery, worth a trip down!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bit of fancy with a touch of Indonesian food
Lesung Restaurant
Address - Desa Visesa, Jl. Suweta, Bentuyung Sakti, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia. Inside Visesa Rasort.
Ambiance/Facilities - The restaurant is very open and you feel part of nature here. If you sit on the one side you look into their beautiful pool and on the other side you have an even better view where you look over their green rice fields. You will treated with top class waiters that takes their time to know you while serving you. I was fortunate enough to be able to eat at the restaurant a few times. It is not a very large menu but they have a good variety of choices that will definitely exceed the expectations of your taste buds. I would recommended this restaurant for lunch or dinner if you are close by. The food doesn’t only taste good but their presentation of the food makes you feel so part of Bali.
Highlights - The spectacular views with the delicious food will be the highlight of this restaurant
Avg. Price per Person - With a drink and food around 180 000 Indonesian Rupees
Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Banaue Rice Terraces… WOW!!!!!
The Banaue Rice Terraces in the Philippines was famous enough as it is… but it got even more popular when it was included in a blockbuster American movie.
I got to visit this place in 2019. Banaue is accessible by land travel. Our family paid for a private tour which enabled us to have exclusive use of the van (with driver & tour guide) and unrestricted time in visiting Banaue and Sagada. This is the way to go when travelling with a senior citizen and with people who are into photography. If you are in a tour group, normally, time to explore the places visited are restricted since there are a lot of places to cover during the tour. You also cannot just stop the vehicle when you want a toilet break! 😂
If you want to visit this place, it is best to travel at dawn then wait for the sun to rise over the rice terraces. This would’ve been a spectacular sight but we missed it since we came late :( After taking in the view and taking photos around the area, you can enjoy breakfast in nearby eateries or restaurants. Normally, places there who offer a spot to view or take photos of the rice terraces include outdoor dining.

Sa Pa Sisters
Situated at the Northwest of Hanoi is Sa Pa, a popular trekking site which oversees the rice field. You can go on the trek yourself or join a group led by the tribes. We took the SaPa sisters group trek where a portion of the money you paid goes to the SaPa sisters to help with their daily expenses. They really do not earn a lot 🥲 but they lead with such passion. Beautiful scenery as you trek, but be careful what you buy or you would attract a village of kids 🤪
PS. you do need a certain physical level to join the trek as some are quite difficult to get to. For the adventurous, you can choose to join the most difficult level!

beautiful Sapa
If you are in Hanoi, highly recommend visiting Sapa for 2 nights, one of those nights a Homestay with the local Hmong people would make your trip unforgettable.
Our guide @trekkingsapatomtom can be found on Instagram and her family was so welcoming. All meals were provided for, and she accompanied us through a few villages over our 4hour hike through the famous Sapa rice fields.
Tomtom was so kind and her story is inspiring!
Be sure to bring bug spray, adequate sun protection and an open mind for the best cultural experience.
You can reach Sapa from Hanoi via overnight train or a 6 hour bus ride from Hanoi city or 5.5h bus from Noi Bai Airport.
