    6 Amazing Things To Do Ubud 

    Ubud is located at the center of the gorgeous island of Bali and is somewhere that has plenty of incredible activities for all sorts of people to enjoy, ranging from a stroll around artisan market stalls to gorgeous scenic walks.

    Many travel bloggers have written articles about how to spend one day in Ubud, with many enjoyable suggestions for you to choose from when considering how to structure your time in the glorious town.

    Explore Campuhan Ridge Walk

    If you want to embrace the delightful scenery of Ubud, you should take a stroll down the Campuhan Ridge Walk, the one place that provides an unbelievable escape from the bustling streets.

    This is a free activity popular with visitors and locals alike. The hilly area gives a beautiful view of the valley and is at its most serene during sunrise and sunset. 

    All you need to get the most enjoyment from this activity is a camera to capture some unbelievable nature shots and some water.

    Campuhan Ridge is just a short distance from the center of Ubud but may be somewhat difficult to find.

    Take a Trip to the Elephant Cave (Goa Gajah)

    Do you want to experience one of the island’s best archaeological wonders as part of your itinerary? Look no further than Goa Gajah!

    Also referred to as Bali's 'Elephant Cave', the enchanting temple complex can be found on the cool borders of Bedulu Village, around 5 km southeast of central Ubud.

    Outside, you can enjoy a glorious Hindu temple complete with a bathing pool and gushing fountains. Visitors then enter the cave through the cavernous mouth of what is said to be a demon to see paintings and a shrine used for meditation.

    Enter the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal

    You can’t visit Ubud and skip one of its signature attractions, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary!

    This tropical forest has been transformed into a delightful nature conservation area and is home to three temples dating back to the 14th century. 

    As you may expect, the forest is full of monkeys — all of which are said to be spiritual guards of the temples. At this incredible location, you can watch monkeys of all sizes interact with humans and play in their own groups, depending on the time of year you visit.

    Visit the Tegalalang Rice Terraces

    You should also visit Ubud’s most enchanting agricultural icon, the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. 

    The rice terrace landscape was created as a result of ‘subak,’ a clever irrigation system invented in the 8th century.

    Here, you can learn to plant and harvest rice or embark on a 1.5-mile looped walking trail that is suitable for everyone. During your visit, you’ll be surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery and stunning photo opportunities in the world.

    Try the Bali Swings

    While touring the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, you’ll see sights of some iconic Balinese swings. But none more so than the official Bali swing, consisting of several swings of varying heights.

    These are great locations for capturing those Instagram-worthy photographs of the nearby tree valleys and rivers, providing a true Balinese jungle look. It’s also great at getting your heart pumping.

    Even a short trip makes it easy to see why the swings have become so popular!

    Browse the Ubud Art Market

    Located in the heart of Ubud is the art market, arguably the best market in the entirety of Bali! So, if it’s a one-of-a-kind reminder of your trip to Ubud that you are after, this is a great place to do some shopping.

    You can find an array of beautiful artisan handmade goods such as silk scarves, hats, and even baskets. You’ll even see sculptures, paintings, and intricate wood carvings.

    The markets are open from early morning until late at night and create a vibrant atmosphere you won’t want to miss during your trip to Ubud.
