At Bali Local Tour Guide, we believe the best way to explore Jatiluwih is with someone who truly knows the land. That is exactly what you get with Untung, our local Jatiluwih trekking specialist.
Untung joined our team in 2014. He is originally from Jatiluwih Village, where he still lives and works as a local farmer. Growing up and living in this area has given him an incredible knowledge of the rice terraces, small paths, villages, farming areas, and countryside surrounding Jatiluwih.
Untung speaks English and specializes in Jatiluwih rice field trekking. He knows the area very well, not only the famous viewpoints but also the smaller trails and quieter parts of the rice terraces that many visitors would never discover on their own.
A Local Farmer Who Knows Jatiluwih from the Inside
What makes Untung special is that Jatiluwih is not simply a place where he works as a guide. It is his home.
As a local farmer, he understands the daily life of the people who work in the rice fields. He can explain how the rice is planted and harvested, how the traditional irrigation system works, and how farming is connected to Balinese culture and local traditions.
Walking with Untung gives guests the opportunity to see Jatiluwih from a local perspective rather than simply visiting a tourist attraction.
He Knows the Trails of Jatiluwih
Jatiluwih is a very large area, and there is much more to explore than the main viewpoint.
Because Untung has lived in the area for many years, he knows the different trails and routes through the rice terraces. He can choose a route based on the time, weather, and fitness level of the guests.
Instead of simply walking into the rice fields and returning to the same place, Untung can take you through different parts of the landscape, allowing you to experience more of what Jatiluwih has to offer.
More Than Just a Rice Field Walk
For Untung, guiding is not simply about taking guests for a walk.
He enjoys sharing stories about his village, farming, local traditions, and everyday life in Jatiluwih. Along the way, guests can see farmers working in the fields, traditional irrigation channels, small temples, village paths, and different stages of rice cultivation.
His experience as a farmer makes these explanations especially personal because he is familiar with the work and traditions he is talking about.
A Genuine Local Experience
One of the best things about exploring Jatiluwih with Untung is the feeling that you are walking with a local friend rather than simply following a tour guide.
He knows the surroundings because he lives there, works there, and has spent many years exploring the area. His local knowledge helps guests discover a side of Jatiluwih that can easily be missed when visiting independently.
For travelers who want to understand why Jatiluwih is more than just beautiful rice terraces, Untung can bring the landscape and local culture to life.
