This is especially true during the rice harvest season, which typically occurs around October each year. Spanning just 10 hectares of intensively cultivated land on steep mountain slopes, the terraced rice fields of Ban Ten create a brilliant golden hue. Blending with the lush green of the surrounding mountains and forests, they form a magnificent, ethereal natural landscape that never fails to captivate visitors.
