Attractions, Guide & Ticket for Teletubbies Hill Nusa Penida

Imagine a part of Bali that looks like it belongs in a childrens cartoon. That is what is waiting at Teletubbies Hill, a highland area in Nusa Penida known for its rolling green mounds. Locals and visitors gave it the name after the grassy hills that look like the setting of a popular kids television series and the similarity is really surprising. For travelers ready to leave behind Nusa Penidas beach focused plans this peaceful area of hills offers a change of scene.

Charm and Character of the Rolling Hills

When you arrive at the place you will immediately notice dome shaped hills spread across the horizon. Their similar shape gives the area a dreamlike feel as if a page from a storybook had been put in the middle of Bali. Because each view shows the hills differently most people end up taking more photos than they intended.

There is also a calmness to the place. Cool mountain air moves through bringing with it the faint smell of grass still wet from morning dew, a difference from the busy crowds found at Kelingking or Broken Beach.

Farmland and terraced areas owned by families surround much of the hillside adding another aspect of interest. Seeing people working their fields between the mounds gives the area a rural feel that is not common at Nusa Penidas more famous spots.

Instagrammable Spots and Things to Do

Photographers often go to a special viewpoints spread across the hills. From the mound the green area opens up with nothing blocking the view making it a perfect spot for a wide clear photo.

Walking through the valleys between the hills is also very nice. Some people just. Enjoy the views while others follow paths made by earlier visitors but either way the pace here is usually relaxed.

It is important to note that this landscape depends on how people handle it. Not littering and not walking on the grass unnecessarily helps keep the hills looking the way they're now.

Best Season and Time to Visit

Teletubbies Hill actually changes a lot depending on the time of year which surprises first time visitors. The rainy season brings a strong green across the whole hillside making the area look like a lush tropical rainforest.

Once the dry months start, that green changes to a yellow, similar to a savanna. The two seasons create different looks that some travelers plan two trips just to see both.

The time of day is just as important as the season. Sunrise and afternoon golden hour offer the softest light since the hilltop has almost no shade and visiting during midday can get very hot quickly.

How to Get to Teletubbies Hill

The drive from Nusa Penidas harbor takes between 45 minutes and an hour. The roads leading there pass through small villages so it is helpful to check your vehicle before starting out.

Travelers coming from mainland Bali will first need to go to Nusa Penida. A fast boat from Padangbai Harbor to the islands port is the common way mainly because it takes less time than other routes.

From the Nusa Penida harbor the last part can be covered by rented scooter or by car with a driver. Those not familiar with the part of the island often find it easier and faster to use a driver who already knows the area.

Entrance Fee and Basic Facilities

To get into the Teletubbies Hill area, tourists need to pay a 10,000 IDR entrance ticket or village donation (this price might change at any time) and parking for vehicles is charged separately. Neither cost is an issue for most travelers.

The facilities on site are very simple. A few small warungs run by people sell cold drinks and snacks enough to keep visitors going during a walk around the fields.

Public restrooms are near the entrance though they are not very fancy compared to tourist spots. If anything that simplicity is part of what keeps the hill feeling natural and not too commercial.

Final Thoughts and Recommendation

Teletubbies Hill is good for travelers looking for a place and a landscape that looks different from the rest of Nusa Penida. Rolling hills, cooler air and a real rural setting make it a nice place to visit for anyone tired of the usual beach activities.

Booking the East Nusa Penida One Day Tour Package through Trip on Penida makes most of the trip easier. Of trying to figure out the winding roads on your own everything from transport to timing is arranged in advance.

Including Teletubbies Hill in a Trip on Penida plan turns what could be a side trip, into a smooth well planned part of the day giving more time to actually enjoy the views.
