Start from Ceking village parking area at 6am for a 3-5km loop through the terraces. Stone paths with moderate elevation but incredible views when you have the place to yourself.

Locals are already out working the fields - they always wave and smile. Much more peaceful than the selfie chaos that starts around 8am. Water available at small warungs every kilometer.

The stones can be slippery when wet so trail runners with grip are essential, not road shoes. Temperature difference between 6am and 10am is dramatic up there.
