Ubud, the hidden gem of Bali, is an upland town brimming with rainforests, paddy fields, temples and shrines. If all you’ve got is a day in Ubud, here are a few things you could do to make the most of it.
Pick a Place to Stay
The make-or-break factor of how well your trip turns out is your accommodation. If you hope to make more frequent trips to Ubud, it would be helpful to check whether there might be a luxury Bali Villa for sale. For a private swimming pool and striking views of a lush green forest beneath the brink of a river valley, try looking into Anantara Ubud Bali Villas.
Delve into the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
Acting as a haven for over 1,260 monkeys, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a sanctified place where spirits dwell and the monkeys are regarded as spiritual creatures. If you are in the sanctuary on a Saturday or Sunday, you might be lucky enough to witness the Lubdhaka Dance and the Frog Dance, inspired by Balinese culture.
Traipse Along the Campuhan Ridge Walk
Immerse yourself in the scenic views of green hills and fields as you set foot on the paved pathway. For the best experience, start walking before sunrise to avoid the heat and take in the sunlight-adorned, picturesque landscape.
Make a Splash at Tegenungan Waterfall
At the bottom of a rugged ravine lies the Tegenungan Waterfall. Swim in its pool as the majestic falls slather down your skin.
