The Experience

Before You Go

Wear temple-appropriate clothing

Bring a sarong or wear clothing that covers knees and shoulders—some temples require modest dress for entry.

Start early for cooler light

Morning tours (08:30) avoid midday heat and deliver better light for photos on Campuhan Ridge.

Hydrate and carry small change

Bring a refillable water bottle and small bills for quick entry fees, local snacks or donations.

Watch your step on uneven sidewalks

Streets and temple grounds have steps and uneven paving—sturdy shoes help prevent slips.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Lempad House courtyard with traditional carvings and quieter atmosphere than central museums
  • Sari Organik footbridge and farm-to-table gardens reached from the Campuhan Ridge side trails

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (in public forest areas)
  • Tropical songbirds and kingfishers along the valley and stream edges

Conservation Note

High foot traffic affects temple precincts and ridge paths—respect signage, avoid single-use plastics and follow guide instructions to limit erosion and cultural wear.

Ubud’s cultural rise centered on mid-20th-century artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet; Puri Lukisan dates to 1956 and helped formalize Balinese modern art.
