Interact with macaques at Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest Built in the middle of 14th century, this renowned monkey habitat and conservation center is often highlighted as a mandatory visit for every traveler. Located precisely in the busiest part of Ubud, it serves as a demonstration of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature where spiritual and physical world collide.

Walk the famous Tegalalang Rice Terrace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site This famous paddy field was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being the embodiment of the Balinese irrigation system & agrarian societal code known as Subak. Take a walk on the slope across the valley and witness local farmers’ activities as they plant, monitor and harvest the rice fields, depending on time.

The first thing you pick up on is how nice the vibe is here. You are sitting above the rice field where the rice comes from that will be served on your plate. Awesome and great to reconnect with your food.

Purify your body & soul at Tirta Empul (Holy Spring) Temple Located at 700 meters above sea level, the holy spring complex of Tirta Empul Temple allows everyone to breathe cool air while purifying their body and soul. It is believed that Lord Indra, one of highest deities in Hinduism built this place with healing purpose when he waged a war against an evil king. We recommend you to spend some times strolling around the outside section before or after taking a dip in the pool.

This is the most popular waterfall in Ubud and definitely not one of Bali’s secret or secluded waterfalls, but that also has its perks of easy access and facilities. After getting through entrance you will take a 5-minute walk down the trail (about 100 steps) which is fairly easy thanks to the well-maintained pathway. Upon descending, you will be greeted by green valley panorama before reaching the cascade where you can swim, take pictures and do a lot fun on your own.
