In Tianyar, Kubu District, Karangasem, hides one of East Bali’s gems: Savana Tianyar, a sweep of rolling grassland that locals nickname the “Teletubbies Hills.” Its green mounds stretch out at the foot of Mount Agung, creating an open landscape rarely seen on this island.
Scenery That Changes Through the Year
The savanna’s main charm is how its colour shifts with the seasons. During the rainy season (December–April) the grass grows lush and the hills turn a fresh green, like a giant carpet. In the dry season the grass fades to gold and brown, giving Bali a mini-Africa feel.
- Photos & prewedding: the clean, bare hills make an iconic backdrop.
- Sunrise & sunset: a wide open sky with nothing to block the view.
- ATV: some operators offer rentals to explore the hills.
Getting There & Preparation
The savanna sits along Karangasem’s north coast route, near the Tulamben diving area, about 2–2.5 hours by road from Ubud or Denpasar. It’s best reached by car or motorbike. As a natural site with no facilities, come well prepared.
- Bring plenty of drinking water and sunscreen.
- Wear a hat and comfortable footwear.
- Arrive in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat.
- Take your rubbish home with you.
Plan your East Bali adventure in comfort — book nearby lodging with an AccessiaPass hotel voucher so you can enjoy sunrise over Savana Tianyar without rushing.
