About Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ubud

A Hindu temple complex in a forest inhabited by over 700 long-tailed Balinese macaques who interact fearlessly with visitors. Three ancient temples, a cool forest trail, and the occasional monkey-on-head encounter make the Monkey Forest Ubud's most visited attraction and genuinely memorable.

🏔️

Tegallalang Rice Terraces Ubud

The most famous rice terraces in Bali - dramatic green staircase paddies carved into the hillside using the traditional subak irrigation system, a UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape. Arrive before 8am to photograph the terraces in mist with almost no other visitors; the light at dawn is extraordinary.

🏔️

Campuhan Ridge Walk Ubud

Ubud's most beautiful free walk - a 2km ridge trail beginning at the Gunung Lebah Temple and winding through rice paddies, coconut groves, and jungle above the confluence of two rivers. Best walked at sunrise before the heat builds; the views of the surrounding volcanic mountains on clear mornings are spectacular.

🏔️

Mount Batur Sunrise Trek

An active volcano with a 2-hour pre-dawn hike to the 1,717m summit for one of the most spectacular sunrises in Southeast Asia - the sun emerging from behind Lombok's Rinjani volcano while Bali's highlands glow below. Guides are mandatory; tours leave from Ubud around midnight.
