Admire the iconic terraced rice fields of Tegalalang, one of the most photographed landscapes in Ubud. Enjoy the panoramic views and take memorable photos.
Visit one of Bali’s oldest traditional Hindu temples, known for its classic Balinese architecture and intricate stone carvings. Learn about local culture, traditions, and spiritual life from your guide.
Stop at Tegenungan Waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery and tropical scenery. Take photos or simply enjoy the refreshing atmosphere. Please note: access involves stairs; comfortable footwear is recommended.
Optional visit to local art villages such as silver jewelry, wood carving, or painting villages, based on your interests and available time.
Traditional Batik Painting with tallented people.
Located right in the center of Ubud, this market consists of multiple buildings and one long street where vendors have set up shop for the day.
The palace has beautifully crafted buildings with high aesthetic value. This place is the home of Ubud's royal family since the late 19th century.
A water garden temple with a lotus pond at the center. This temple is decorated with so many fine carvings, giant masks, statues of Goddes Saraswati, and many more.
Witness the Balinese relationship with nature and spirituality while walking among most-covered sculptures and through a sacred meditation cave. Outside the cave is a bathing pool with fountains.
Campuhan Ridge Walk tours typically introduce Bali’s “subak” shared irrigation system, which has earned UNESCO World Heritage status, and the island’s highly individual brand of Hinduism. Some guides will also share information about on the abundant bird life amid the rice fields and in the valleys of Wos Barat and Wos Timor.
Set in central Ubud, the Don Antonio Blanco Museum is easy to explore independently and advance tickets are not necessary. Besides the gardens and the small aviary of parakeets, which are happy to pose for photos, the gallery includes Balinese sculptures and an elaborate rotunda lined with Don Antonio Blanco’s paintings, many of them nudes and semi-nudes. The artist’s studio is preserved as he left it, complete with an unfinished painting.

About Ubud
Ubud is Bali's cultural heart, a town of temples, craft villages and dance set among rice terraces and river gorges in the island's green uplands.
The town centres on the Ubud Palace and the busy market opposite, with traditional dance performed in temple courtyards in the evenings. Saraswati Temple's lotus ponds sit just off the main road, and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary shelters long-tailed macaques among moss-covered shrines and giant banyan trees.
Top-ranked sights in Ubud: Tegalalang Rice Terrace (Sawah Terasering Tegalalang), Tegenungan Waterfall (Air Terjun Tegenungan), Tirta Empul Temple (Pura Tirta Empul).
