Visit the Monkey Forest

The next thing you must do while in the cultural capital of Bali is undoubtedly a visit to the Monkey Forest. There are three Hindu temples in this park that play an important role in the spiritual life of the local community. However, the main reason why many tourists visit this place every year is the group of macaques living here. It is estimated that the population of these animals in the Monkey Forest is approximately 680 individuals (!). Really very nice place to walk, just watch out for the monkeys!

Take a walk along the Campuhan Ridge

An interesting form of spending free time in Ubud is a walk in the wilderness of Campuhan Ridge, a picturesque hill above the valley with the Wos River. Due to its secluded location and captivating views, this trail is a favorite hiking destination for tourists and locals alike. The nearly 8.5-kilometer route passes along green hills covered with lush tropical vegetation and the surrounding rice fields, allowing you to discover a more natural side of the city.

Go for a Balinese massage

Last but not least point on our must-do list in Ubud is to go to one of the local spas for a traditional Balinese massage. There is nothing better than a relaxing massage after a busy day of sightseeing. In Ubud, you will find many interesting spas, located in beautiful, exotic gardens conducive to relaxation, which are in vain to look for, for example in Europe. Average prices for an hour massage are around 150,000. rupees. However, before you decide on a spa, it is always worth reading reviews on the Internet beforehand.

See the Saraswati Temple

Another must-see place in Ubud is the lovely 20th-century Pura Taman Saraswati temple. This facility is dedicated to the Hindu goddess of knowledge, art and words, and is located on a picturesque pond with lotus flowers. Admission to the temple is free, but you must remember to wear a sarong. The courtyard is decorated with beautiful architectural elements and numerous bas-reliefs. A kecak dance show is regularly held in the temple grounds.

See the traditional kecak dance

No visit to Ubud can take place without taking part in a traditional kecak dance show. This dance is a combination of Balinese Hindu dance with a musical drama. Although the performance dates back to antiquity, it was formally created only in the 1930s. From that moment, thanks to the German artist Walter Spies, it gained fame and publicity all over the world. Currently, it is played in almost all temples and villages around Bali (including Uluwatu and Tanah Lot). An interesting fact is that women can also appear in the play relatively recently.
