The building of the rice terraces (most likely done by hand) entails constructing retaining walls with stones and rammed earth which are designed to draw water from a main irrigation canal above the terrace clusters.

The best time for a visit is between February and March when the cleaning and planting time occurs and between June and July when the harvest occurs.
