Ubud where is. Ubud, Bali

How to get there

Taxi... Ubud is 35 km from Denpasar and about an hour's drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. The easiest way to get to the city from the airport is by taxi. It is best to use an official airport taxi. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete immigration, collect your luggage and take a taxi. Prepare the hotel address and phone number in advance, taxi drivers may not know the exact location of small hotels.

Minibuses... Minibuses "bemo" to Ubud depart from Batubulan terminal in Denpasar, the trip will take about an hour. Most of the bemo minibuses leave early in the morning and there are no flights after 4:00 pm. In the opposite direction, "bemo" are sent from the stop next to Central Market Ubud on Jalan Raya Ubud Street (near Jalan Monkey Forest). Bemo minibuses leave for the surrounding villages and all major Bali cities throughout the day, but most often in the morning. The "bemo" minibus leaves only when passengers fill all the seats in the cabin.

By bus... One of the easiest and safest ways to travel around Bali is to use the services of Perama Tour. Their network of routes covers the most popular cities on the island of Bali, and although the buses are far from executive class, tickets are not expensive. Perama Tour Bus Terminal is located on Jalan Hanoman Street in Padangtegal Village, near the intersection with Jalan Monkey Forest Street.

Many travel agencies also offer rides with either Perama buses or other similar companies, but the prices will sometimes be twice as high as dealing with Perama directly. The advantage of Peram is that they are one of the most reliable companies, they leave and arrive on time, they do not cancel flights even when there is only one passenger.

How to find out the cost of the trip and the departure time of the Perama bus from a particular city.

On the page that opens, you will see Select Departure, Select Destination and Search Schedule at the bottom. Select Departure, Select Destanation, then click the Search Schedule button. The page will open information about the time of departure and the cost of travel on the Perama Tour bus.

Taxi... PT. Ubud Taxi is the only official taxi company licensed to carry passengers in Ubud. Website http://www.ubudtaxi.com/

Hotel car... Many hotels are located on the outskirts or in the countryside, in which case they offer their customers free trips to and from Ubud city center. You can go to the hotel's transport anywhere, but this service is paid and in this case will cost more than negotiating with private drivers.

By car or scooter... As elsewhere in Bali, there are car, scooter and bicycle rental shops in the city. But driving on the island is not for the faint of heart, the roads are not very good, and few people follow the rules of the road on the island. If you opted for a bike, keep in mind that the landscape of Ubud and the surrounding area is quite hilly. Major car, scooter and bike rental agencies are located on Jalan Hanoman and Jalan Monkey Forest; you can also ask the receptionist of the hotel where you are staying.

What to see in the city and the immediate vicinity

Pura Desa Ubud(Pura Desa Ubud) - one of the main temples of Ubud, located on Jalan Raya Ubud, a short walk from the market and the Royal Palace.

Pura Taman Saraswati(Pura Taman Saraswati). Another beautiful temple, Pura Taman Saraswati, is a two-minute walk from Pura Desa Ubud. The temple is dedicated to Devi Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, patroness of literature and art. The temple is located on Jalan Raya Ubud Street, 5 minutes from Ubud Market and close to Pura Desa Ubud. But it is hidden from the side of the road by the buildings of the Starbucks and Cafe Lotus.

Gunung Kawi(Gunung Kawi). Gunug Kawi is an ancient rocky temple located near the Pakerisan River. The complex consists of 10 stone candi (shrines) carved into the rock. The shrines are located in 7-meter sheltered niches, also carved into sheer cliffs. These monuments are believed to be dedicated to King Anak Wungsu of the Udayana dynasty and his beloved wives. To reach the temple complex, visitors must walk about 600 meters from the parking lot to the ticket booth, then descend approximately 315 stone steps. Before crossing the bridge over the irrigation canal, you can see the first stone monument. Another group of stone monuments is carved on the left side of the main temple across the river. The complex is located in a valley surrounded by rice fields. Going down the steps to the river, you will pass stalls where craftsmen sell souvenirs and handicrafts. Open daily from 07:00 to 17:00. Gunung Kawi is located in Tampaksiring Village, 16 km from Ubud and 2 km from Tirta Empul Temple. You can get from Ubud by bike, but keep in mind that you will have to climb a significant part of the path.

Pura Tirta Empul(Pura Tirta Empul). “Pura Tirta Empul” in translation means “Temple of the Sacred Water”, in fact, this is the name of a spring that originates on the territory of the temple. The spring feeds the baths and pools, and the excess water flows into the Pakerisan River. Built around 960 AD, it is one of the most revered temples in Bali. Legend has it that an evil demon poisoned the water in the source from which the warriors of the light forces drank and died. But the god Indra created a spring with living water next to it, which brought the dead back to life and granted them immortality. The Tirta Empul temple complex was completely reconstructed in 1969, that is, almost everything that you see is a modern copy of the famous temple. For over a thousand years, Balinese believers have made pilgrimages to the holy sources of the temple, which are said to have been created by Indra (the king of the gods and the ruler of the heavenly kingdom in Hindu mythology) and therefore have magical healing powers. The millennial tradition remains almost unchanged to this day. People come here to swim in three rectangular pools, into which water flows from fountains. Each of these fountains has a name and ritual purpose: healing from poisoning, from the evil eye, spiritual cleansing, from various diseases, evil, bad thoughts, etc.

Located in the midst of a forest, the temple should definitely appeal to lovers of photography. Bring a towel in advance if you want to go swimming. They have a changing room with lockers. On the way, visitors are forced to pass through rows of market stalls with their assertive merchants. There are also several "Warungs" (traditional Indonesian eateries). Most people visit Tirta Empul and Gunung Kawi at the same time, they are located 2 km apart. The impressive temple and pools of Tirta Empul are included in the itinerary for almost every tourist group in Central Bali. Open to the public from 08:00 to 17:00. Pura Tirta Empul is located 1 km from the village of Tampaksiring, 14 km north of Ubud, on the road to the mountainous region of Kintamani.

Pura Gunung Lebah(Pura Gunung Lebah). "Gnung Lebah" translated from Indonesian means "small hill". Legend has it that in the 8th century the priest and saint sage Rishi Markandia arrived from Java to build the Besakih temple. Attracted by the picturesque area at the confluence of two rivers, he prayed, meditated, and then built a temple. This is how Ubud came into being. Pura Gunung Lebah is 1.5 km from the Main Market and Ubud Royal Palace. Address: Jalan Raya Campuhan, Ubud.

House of Lempada(Lempad House). This residence was once the home of the renowned painter Gusti Nyoman Lempada. Now the house belongs to the artist's children, which displays some of the master's works (many of the paintings are also in the ARMA museum). Lempada's works include paintings, wood carvings, stone sculptures and reliefs (depiction on a plane in the form of molding, carving or embossing). There are many tropical birds on the territory of the estate (some even call it a “mini bird park”). The Lempada House is located on Jalan Raya Ubud, the main street of the city.

Ubud Royal Palace is one of the most famous landmarks and the main landmark of the city. From the moment of construction in the early 19th century until the mid-1940s, the Palace was the seat of the local ruler. Nowadays, for the most part, it consists of the private estates of the heirs of the former ruler of Ubud, some of them are private properties closed to public access, some of the buildings have been turned into hotels and restaurants. So you can dine in one of the restaurants on the territory of the Royal Palace, or rent a comfortable room to stay. The remainder of the royal palace complex is free to enter. The main palace is Puri Saren Agung. On its territory, Balinese dancers perform to traditional gamelan music, starting at 19:30, the duration of the performance is almost 2 hours. A visit to the palace is included in most local travel companies. Ubud Royal Palace is located in the city center opposite the market. Address: Jalan Raya Ubud, Ubud.

Goa Gajah("Goa Gajah" means "Elephant Cave"). Goa Gajah is believed to have been dug by Hindu wanderers or priests in the 11th century. A demon's face is engraved around the entrance. For such a popular tourist attraction, the cave is actually quite small. Inside there is a small niche with a statue of Ganesh - a Hindu deity resembling an elephant - as well as a small sanctuary with several stone images of lingam and yoni (male and female reproductive organs) in honor of the god Shiva. When visiting Goa Gajah remember:

Goa Gajah is open seven days a week from 08:00 to 16:30;
admission fee is about 60 US cents;
Appropriate clothing is required; knees should be covered for both men and women. Sarongs are available on lease at the entrance;
be prepared to plunge into almost total darkness - there is no artificial light inside the cave.

A few minutes is enough to explore the cave, then we recommend a look at the rice fields and gardens located south of the archaeological site. Walk down the steps to the valley where there is a small waterfall and the remains of a ruined Buddhist temple. Goa Gajah is located in the village of Bedulu, 6 km southeast of the center of Ubud. Address: Jalan Raya Goa Gajah, Bedulu Village.

Pura Kehen(Pura Kehen). Pura Kehen is often referred to as a miniature version of the Besakih Temple (it also has 8 terraces). It is the main temple of the Kingdom of Bangli, built during the reign of Sri Bhatar Guru Adikunti Ketan in the 11th century. Perched on a high hill surrounded by tropical trees, it is one of the most impressive and beautiful temples in Bali. Men and women are required to wear a sarong and belt, which you can borrow from the kiosk across the street. Due to its location, Pura Kehen is not overrun with tourists like other popular temples in Bali. Several souvenir shops are located nearby. The Kehen Temple is located in the village of Cempaga, a few kilometers north of Bangli. Kehen Temple is easily accessible from Ubud, with a journey time of about 40 minutes. The temple is open to the public from 08:00 to 17:00 daily.

Rock bas-reliefs of Ex Pulu(Relief Yeh Pulu). This complex of rock carvings is located 2 km from Goa Gajah but is much less famous. The bas-reliefs are carved on a limestone rock about 25 meters long and 2 meters high. The images tell about real scenes of rural life during the old Kingdom of Bali. The Yeh Pulu bas-reliefs are the largest in Bali, dating from the 14th or 15th century, and are located in a very attractive location in the middle of rice fields. For a long period of time, the bas-reliefs were buried under volcanic ash and vegetation, discovered only in 1925 by the Dutch artist Nieuwenkamp. Visitors will typically spend a few minutes at this monument and then head towards the surrounding rice fields. You can reach Yeh Pulu on foot through the rice fields from Goa Gajah in 40 minutes, but this requires a guide as there is no clear path through the farmland. The Yeh Pulu reliefs are located in Bedulu Village, 2 km from the famous Gowa Gajah Cave.

Monkey Forest Ubud(Ubud Monkey Forest) is a famous nature reserve and temple complex of the city. Several hundred crab-eating macaques live in a forest of about 10 hectares. Here is the temple of Pura Dalem Agung Padangtega ("Pura Dalem Agung Padangtega"), and several other smaller temples. Located in the heart of Ubud, Ubud Monkey Forest is owned and operated by the villagers of Padangtegal. Beware of contact with monkeys. Cynomolgus macaques approach inquisitive tourists in large groups and then grab bags of food or other items. The villagers of Padangtegal feed the monkeys daily, but this does not stop the animals from attacking. Macaques are very aggressive and try to steal anything that looks shiny or edible. Therefore, do not provoke wild animals, keep sunglasses, cameras, jewelry and shiny objects out of the reach or sight of animals. And don't smile - for macaques, teeth are indicative of human aggression. Don't buy food or feed the monkeys, they get enough food from the villagers. How to get there. Ubud Monkey Forest is located 1 km from Ubud Royal Palace. Going down Jalan Monkey Forest Street from the Royal Palace, the road turns left. The entrance to the territory is at this bend. Pay a ticket (about $ 2) at the entrance and go down the path. Address: Jalan Monkey Forest, Padangtegal, Ubud, website http://www.monkeyforestubud.com/

The waterfall can be observed from above from the observation deck, but it is better to go down the steps to the river. You can swim if you like, but the currents are fast during the rainy season, so swimming is a little dangerous.

Petulu village(Petulu). Every evening around 6:00 pm, thousands of egrets arrive at Petulu village, perching in the trees by the road. The villagers believe that birds bring good luck. Herons first appeared in Petulu village in 1965 for no apparent reason. Several traditional Warung-style cafes have been built in rice paddies for drinks and food while enjoying the spectacle (sometimes hundreds of birds per tree). Petulu village is located about 2.5 km north of the center of Ubud. It is easy to get here by bike, but keep in mind that birds only arrive in the evening, and then you will have to return in the dark. Also, do not walk under trees where herons are sitting, otherwise you risk exposing your head to bird droppings.

Tegallalang rice terraces. It is impossible to visit the island of Bali and not visit the rice terraces. The land is divided into plots or terraces, water is collected in certain places and it flows naturally from the top to the bottom, irrigating a culture valuable to the Balinese. This irrigation system for rice terraces was called "Subak" and began to be used from the 8th century. The most spectacular rice terraces in the Ubud region are found in Tegallalang Village.

The beautiful slopes of the Tegallalang rice terraces, descending into a vast valley, are the main reason why many tourists come here. Spectacular landscapes open directly from the road and this popular place stops for a memorable photo. Shops are dotted along the small curb and are inundated with merchants of all stripes. Peasants walk back and forth with their simple tools and offer tourists to take pictures with them for a memorable photo (for money, of course). You can go down and wander among the rice fields (for a small entrance fee). How to get there: Tegallalang village is located 9 km north of Ubud. Rice terraces will be located on the right side of the road.

This hotel is about 15 minutes' walk along Jalan Raya Ubud (walking from the city's main market located near the Ubud Royal Palace). If you find Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas & Spa, you will definitely find the beginning of the trail. The path goes down, crosses the bridge over the river, then slowly climbs up until you reach the top of the ridge of Campuhan hill. After a while, the path laid out with stones will be replaced by an ordinary dirt path.
