Places to Visit in Ubud
Waterfalls to Visit
Leke Leke Bali waterfall
Probably the most beautiful waterfall in Bali. Best all day long, never too busy. 30,000pp entrance plus a little extra to the guys on the gate at the waterfall.
Nung Nung waterfall
The most powerful waterfall we visited. 10,000pp entrance fee. Just follow the steps down to lead you directly to the waterfall. The light is best here around 11am however it is a very popular waterfall, weddings too regularly take place here including one at 8am on the morning we arrived.
Tukad Cepung waterfall
Gaining in popularity, this waterfall and infamous rock in which the light rays shine on is a beauty spot for sure. 20,000pp entrance, best to head here around 9am to really catch the light beams streaming through however for the light in the waterfall you will need to wait til 12noon before any light hits inside.
Tibumana waterfall
One of the smaller waterfalls but equally as beautiful. Entry is 20,000pp and you can definitely enjoy a swim and shower!
Rice fields
Jatiluwih rice field
Further north than its more popular Tegalalang fields. Entrance is 40,000pp so not the cheapest however walking here in-between the rice fields is something not to be missed. Good all day long as the fields are endless you can always find a photo spot and just enjoy walking in the Bali countryside.
Telgalalng rice fields
Perhaps the most famous spot in all of Ubud, best to arrive here for sunrise as you get the best light and its quiet. Come 9am when the tourist spots (swings, sit-in baskets, cycling zip-lines…) open then it is a tourist trap. Entrance is FREE!
Other attractions
Water temple
There are three main water temples in Ubud; Ubud Water Palace, Saraswati Temple and perhaps the most famous for its holy water fountain you can bathe in, Tirta Empul Temple.
Monkey forest
Entrance is 80,000pp and includes free parking for bikes and cars. The monkey forest take around 1-2 hours to walk around depending on how quickly you do it. The monkeys are relatively friendly and keep themselves to themselves. Just make sure you don’t have any food on you or loose items such as sunglasses or water bottle as they will grab /these and you have no chance of getting them back! If they do jump on you they will quickly jump off again, just don’t jump or scream as they won’t hurt you.
