Ubud sits inland among rice terraces and forested valleys, and it is known for crafts, dance and a quieter pace than Bali's coast. A few days here work best when you leave room for walking and rest.
ChapterStart with the landscape
Rice terraces, jungle paths and river valleys are best seen early, before the heat and crowds. Wear good shoes, since paths can be uneven and wet.
ChapterRespect temple customs
Many temples require a sarong and modest clothing. Follow the rules posted at each site, and be mindful of ceremonies that may be in progress.
ChapterSupport local craft
Galleries, workshops and markets sell carvings, textiles and paintings. Take time to talk to makers and ask about their process.
ChapterTake care with wildlife
If you visit the monkey forest, keep food and loose items out of sight and follow staff instructions.
