Get Around Since Ubud is relatively small, you can explore the town on foot or hire a bicycle or motorbike. Get There Various modes of transport are available from all over Bali.

There are two of these bathing pools at the temple with a total of thirty water spouts. Devotees will start at the first spout in the pool on the left. You can visit Tirta Empul on a private car charter like we did, or you can go as part of a guided tour. Gunung Kawi is an ancient rock temple known for these large relief shrines carved into the cliff face. There are ten in all at the temple, each measuring about 7 meters 23 ft tall.
Legend has it that these shrines are the memorials for the Balinese King Udayana, his family, and concubines. But swing or no swing, these rice terraces offer some of the most beautiful inland views in Bali and really do make a terrific backdrop for photos.
You can descend into the valley and cross over to the other side. There are many great photo opportunities here, especially if you arrive early enough to catch sunrise and there are fewer people around. There are several giant swing operators here, each offering their own tourist packages. I checked on Klook and Get Your Guide and they both offer many tours that include a giant swing ride in Tegallalang and at other venues in Bali.
Tegallalang has become so popular with tourists that all along the road are restaurants and cafes offering valley views. Tegallalang rice terraces is located about half an hour north of Ubud town by car. Mount Batur is an active volcano about 40 km 25 miles north of Ubud. Tegenungan Waterfalls is one of the most visited waterfalls in Bali, not necessarily because its the most beautiful, but because its one of the most accessible.
This was our last stop en route to Seminyak but you can visit the falls on a guided tour as well. I made the trek to Tegenungan Waterfalls because I wanted to take this long exposure shot with my drone. Like many places in Bali, Tegenungan Waterfalls gets super crowded. I was there around PM and the place felt like a mirror ball away from being a waterfall disco. There are so many good restaurants in Bali.
They serve many traditional Indonesian dishes like nasi goreng and this beautiful platter of nasi campur, which is a classic Indonesian dish of white rice served with a variety of sides. Locavore is consistently ranked among the top 50 restaurants in Asia and the very best not just in Bali, but in all of Indonesia. Check out our article on Locavore for more pictures and information.
Babi guling is one of the best dishes you can have in Bali. It includes all the points of interest we visited in Seminyak and southern Bali as well. Click on the link for an interactive version of the map. You may have to do a lot of walking but major points of interest within Ubud town are accessible on foot.
Getting around Bali island is more difficult. A better option might be the newer Kura Kura shuttle buses. A fleet of air-conditioned minibuses ply set routes throughout the island, stopping at key locations like Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Ubud. You can get 1-day or 3-day passes on Klook that entitle you to unlimited rides for the duration of your pass.
For the most flexibility, you can get a private car charter like we did. We did it twice in Bali — the first time to get around central Bali and the second to explore the south. As described, you can get a private car charter with driver through Klook or Get Your Guide.
We used Grab Bike a couple of times and it was a lot of fun. You can also check out this useful article on how to travel around Bali for more tips and suggestions. Ubud is one those destinations that demands longer-term stays. People stay here for weeks, even months at a time. In fact, the Australian woman staying in the room next to us at Peacock Inn was in Ubud for her 17th time. But if you can stay longer, then definitely stay longer. Depending on what type of traveler you are, Ubud and Bali in general can be very expensive or very cheap.
Like Bandung and Yogyakarta, a good portion of our budget went to private car charters. This takes into account your accommodations, admission fees, a one-day private car charter, meals, drinks, and pocket wifi rental. It allows me to plot all points of interest on a map so I can see exactly where everything is in relation to one another.
That way I can group attractions by day so we waste as little time as possible going from one place to the next. It helps me build the most efficient itinerary. Check out my post on the Sygic Travel app for more information. It covers Bali, Yogyakarta , Jakarta , and Bandung. I would never go anywhere now without a reliable wifi connection. It just makes traveling so much easier, and safer too. That alone makes having a steady wifi connection a must.
