Top 23 things to do and attractions in Tegalalang

An absolutely stunning spot and definitely worth a visit! 🌾 The views over the rice terraces are breathtaking, and you can really feel the beauty and calm of Bali here. There are those famous swing experiences where you can rent a beautiful flowing dress and pay for a professional photo or video — they’re amazing if you want that classic Bali swing moment! 🎥💃 But there are also lovely free spots around the terraces where you can take great photos without spending extra. Just explore a little and you’ll find beautiful angles with fewer crowds. Highly recommend going early in the morning for the best light and a peaceful atmosphere. ✨

These terraces are located closest to Ubud and are by far the most popular with tourists. Admission is free, but you can pay a voluntary fee. They are beautifully maintained, with many spots and viewpoints for beautiful photos. It's worth sitting down at a nearby restaurant (there are many to choose from) for a drink or a meal and admiring the rice terraces from a different perspective. A phenomenal place. I won't say more. It's a must-see.

Absolutely stunning place! 🌾 The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are one of the most beautiful spots in Bali. You can walk along the narrow paths through the rice fields and enjoy the amazing view of the terraced hills. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a great way to connect with nature. Perfect for travelers, families with kids, or even teens who want to learn about local farming and Balinese culture. Don’t forget to stop by one of the small cafés around for a coconut or coffee while enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend visiting early morning or before sunset for the best experience! 🌅✨

Spectacular place to visit. I HIGHLY recommend going there around sunrise. I was let in at 6:30am and i was the only one there for a good 30 mins. To be left to your own devices in a UNESCO World Heritage Site is out of this world. Stunning scenery every way you look. Great for photographers

The best time to visit is just before sunset, when the atmosphere is calm, traffic is lighter, and the area is pleasantly cool. The entrance fee is very affordable and already includes parking. Along the trail, several small local vendors offer refreshments — a simple yet meaningful way to support the community during your visit. What makes this destination truly special is its commitment to preserving the natural landscape while empowering the local residents. A serene and sustainable experience that reflects the authentic beauty of Bali.

Absolutely breathtaking! Tegallalang Rice Terrace is one of the most stunning places in Bali — the layered green fields, fresh air, and peaceful atmosphere make it unforgettable. The views are picture-perfect from every angle, and walking through the terraces feels like stepping into a postcard. A must-visit spot that truly captures the beauty of Bali!

This was a beautiful experience. I was so excited to explore rice fields and this didn't disappoint. The green colors were vibrant and the many layers of the terrace were beautiful. They have the option to do zip line, swing, Aladin carpet ride, and superman. All great options to explore the beauty of the fields.

Most of the prices are 3x the selling price we see at stores in Sanur Harbor. Even if you haggle, you will just be able to haggle it to the original selling price. So don’t buy unless you don’t have time to look elsewhere or want a challenge to haggle until you deem the price is worth the item. We were able to buy some items that I didn’t see in other places like the patched up pants.

A vibrant place full of handicrafts, souvenirs, and Balinese art. Prices can be quite expensive, so make sure you have good bargaining skills. Parking is a bit difficult, but aside from that, it’s a great spot to explore and experience the local atmosphere.

A large market with many similar stalls—it can feel a bit repetitive, as most shops sell the same items. Prices are inflated for tourists, so bargaining is expected, and you can often bring the price down by half or more, which makes it hard to know the real value. While the setting is lively and picturesque, giving you a nice spot to wander if you’re already in the area, it feels more tourist-oriented than authentic. We noticed the same goods being sold in many other parts of Bali, so don’t expect unique local craftsmanship here. Do check out the second floor if you visit, but overall, I wouldn’t return as it lacked originality.

Ubud Art Market is a vibrant and colorful place that truly reflects the artistic soul of Bali. Located right in the heart of Ubud, this market is packed with beautiful handmade items — from wooden carvings and rattan bags to batik clothes, paintings, and jewelry. Every corner is filled with creativity and craftsmanship, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves local art and culture. One of the best parts of shopping here is the bargaining experience. The initial price that vendors quote is usually much higher than the actual selling value, so don’t hesitate to negotiate — it’s part of the fun! In many cases, you can get items for half or even one-third of the first price if you bargain politely and with a smile. For example, if something starts at 300,000 IDR, you can often get it for around 100,000 IDR or even less. It’s a great feeling when you walk away with a good deal while supporting local artisans. Just take your time, explore the different stalls, and enjoy the friendly conversations with the sellers. Overall, Ubud Art Market is not just a shopping stop — it’s a cultural experience where your bargaining skills can truly shine!

Products are costly here because tourists place. Shop owners know this. But you can get products in cheap prices after bargain. You can easily bargain 50% less price and shop owners will agree. I purchased the similar products outside the market with less price and same quality. Rest, Street Style Market, you have to walk a lot between the shops. Must Visit but do not buy anything unless you really liked it. Check out the images for more information.

Pretty big market full of souvenirs and clothes. Everyone is happy to bargain, basically the price they tell you at first is always highly overpriced. If the say something cost 300k you can buy it at 150k easily or start bargaining and get it down to 50-100k rupees. Never ever accept initial pricing. We bought a bunch of souvenirs and clothes here. Pricing for the magnets is about +-20k, most of the clothes (tshirts, shorts, etc) you can get at 50-100k.

Lovely place to get all your bits and pieces to take back home. Shop owners didnt really push you to buy like I've experienced at Kuta market.

This was my 4th time visiting the monkey forest and I loved it. Despite what you hear about monkey aggression, you just have to follow the rules and signs. I did make eye contact with a monkey by accident and it grabbed me which I found quite funny to be honest. It didn’t hurt me, and it was my mistake lol. To add to that, I have never been attacked or seen anyone badly injured here. Honestly, it was heartwarming to see the local Balinese bonding and feeding the monkeys, you can tell they are trained and know what they are doing. I really enjoy the fact that these monkeys are able to free roam. It may be scary for humans, but it is great that they are not chained or caged. It is so nice to see the Balinese genuinely care for these gorgeous animals. At the end of the day, you are in the monkeys home. Treat them with respect and they shall leave you be. It’s a really beautiful and breezy area. The natural landscape of this place is breathtaking.

A nice casual walk in the park. There are a lot of monkeys but they are not aggressive. There are conservation staff around to park to ensure that the interactions between the guests and monkeys are safe and ethical. The monkeys are not particularly afraid of humans and may climb onto a person, although no feeding is allowed. Most part of the park is shaded and in forest area. Bring bug spray. There’s a nice and easy walking trail through the forest and lots of relics to look at.

Such a magical and unforgettable experience! The Monkey Forest Sanctuary is absolutely beautiful, lush, peaceful, and filled with nature’s charm. The monkeys are playful and fun to watch (just keep your belongings safe!). I loved how well-maintained and organized the place is, with helpful staff and clear paths through the forest and temples. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and nature all in one spot. A must-visit when in Ubud!

Surpassed any expectations I have had about the sanctuary. I was a bit scared and nervous coming to the place. However, if you follow the rules, monkey will leave you alone and do they own things and they're very useo to human. It was an amazing experience to observe the monkeys in their habitat. The place was very well maintained and reasonable price for entry tickets.

Great place to visit! I had a really nice time walking through this tropical forest filled with monkeys. There are plenty of them everywhere, and watching them was a lot of fun. The whole walk was relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop when you’re in Ubud.

This place is absolutely beautiful, magical, and full of wanderlust energy! Monkeys are everywhere swinging from trees, lounging on railings, and living their best lives. The forest itself feels like stepping into another world, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient temples covered in moss. It’s incredible to watch these monkeys up close (just hold onto your belongings!). I had such a fun and unforgettable experience here. The monkeys truly seem to be living great lives in their sacred jungle home.

Be careful >< I had some Keychain on my bag, Litteraly at the exit, one monkey took 2 of them.. I was able to grab one back. Anyways don't have anything outside the bag, water, Keychain ecc, no sunglasses and I would be careful also with earrings. We needed like an hour to see everything inside, it's nice and the monkey are mostly doing their things, eating, running ecc. I did not pay for have my photo taken, if I remember correctly was 50k for the service. Just be respectful, I took photo of the monkey but didn't get to near, just walk and leave them alone. When there's a lot of people can be stressful for them.

Nice place to walk not far from the city. You have a good walking trail, but most of it expose to the sun. You can't go of the walking way to gind you a nice quit place in the wood. On start from south you can reach the river. On the north point you have some galeres and coffee shoe. If you need to get by walk to your entry point, start from south because there is a hilll to go, and it will be nicer to go down after you finish you walking.

Beautiful walk. Lots of up and down and stairs. If someone has trouble walking won't be too good for them. It is very hot as well. This Campuhan Ridge Walk can be a leisurely hike and takes around 30 to 45 minutes each way. Ofcourse depending on your pace and how often you stop for photos. I didn't go too far as it was very hot and humid but the entire round trip can be completed in about 1.5 hours. I also recommend wearing comfortable sneakers or walking shoes because the path is uneven in some places. If you plan to explore the nearby villages or stop at one of the cafés along the way, you might want to allow a bit more time. I stopped at a beautiful temple to visit just before starting the trail, so I would probably dedicate half a day to this visit. Lush greenery everywhere. It's free to enter the place.

Very pretty walk, totally mapped out so you won’t get lost. I wish there was more of a loop but I basically stop at a cute cafe called Draniki get a juice and go back the way I came. It’s a good, relaxing way to get your steps in away from the town. But it’s not really a hike for anyone looking for a challenge.

I was interested in visiting Campuhan Ridge Walk because many of my friends recommended it. As someone who loves hiking and walking, the Campuhan Ridge Walk was definitely something I didn’t want to miss during my stay in Ubud. I started my walk at 7 AM, and I think it was the perfect time. The trail is about 2 km long with beautiful scenery along the way. It wasn’t crowded in the morning, though I still passed a few people walking or jogging. Some brought their kids, and I also saw several people walking with their dogs. I loved walking slowly along the neatly paved path. It took me around one hour to reach Pura Gunung Lebah. There are no restaurants or convenience stores along the trail, so it’s important to bring your own water. There are also no public toilets along the way, but once you reach the village area, you’ll find restaurants and small shops. In the village, you can also see art galleries, villas, and more places to explore. Historically, the Campuhan Ridge was originally a meditation path used by the priest who built Pura Gunung Lebah. With time, the temple and the trail became an important spiritual center in the Ubud area. As the local community grew, the surroundings developed into residential areas. And with the growth of tourism in Ubud, the ridge walk eventually became one of the must-visit spots. Even so, I can still feel the spiritual atmosphere when walking slowly along the trail—enjoying the beautiful scenery, the fresh air, and the calm environment.

The pavement/walkway was so clean and serene. Come early to avoid the heat. I didn't go all the way to the other side but you can enjoy the calm village view and had smoothie, fruits or coffee on your way.

Amazing trek but the walk is not suitable for children and prams. The hills are steep and the steps are crooked and easy to trip over. I saw a local trip and fall on my visit here. Be careful, wear good shoes. I would recommend not going on a hot day as there aren’t any air conditioned areas at the end point.

The Campuhan Ridge Walk in Ubud is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Ubud itself — the path is easy winding along the top of the ridge through green hills, tall grasses, and endless views. The walk starts near the bridge and river at the bottom and winds up past the beautiful old temple and opens up into a most scenic walk We used the Voicemap app for a self-guided tour, and it made the walk even more interesting. It pointed out things we might’ve missed — the different grasses swaying along the ridge, the birds and insect life, the history of the path, and even the story of how those two famous palm trees ended up there! Toward the end, it also mentions that you can keep going down into the rice fields if you want to explore further. The app explores the history of Ubud too and lots of other interesting stories. We went early in the morning before the heat and humidity of the day, if youre going later take a hat or umbrella and was amazed at the amount of people talking their morning walk along there. The views are lovely and it’s a calm, refreshing way to start the day in Ubud. The Ridge is not far from the main road and easy to wander back ready for the day ahead.

If you’re already in Ubud, the palace is worth a quick stop, but honestly, there isn’t much to see inside. From a religious and cultural aspect it holds value for the Balinese people, but for tourists it can feel underwhelming—just a few closed doors and crowded pathways in the middle of Ubud’s busy center. You can walk through the grounds in about 3–5 minutes, and the admission during the day is free, which is a plus. The gardens are well maintained, the carvings are beautiful, and the atmosphere carries historic charm. It’s also right in the city center, so convenient if you’re already out shopping or exploring nearby attractions. That said, the real highlight here is in the evening. The palace transforms into a venue for nightly traditional Balinese dance performances such as Legong and Barong. The show costs 100,000 IDR per person (cash only) and is absolutely worth it. The music of the gamelan orchestra, the elaborate costumes, and the graceful movements of the dancers create an enchanting cultural experience. Arrive early—people gather as early as 6:30 pm for good seats, with the performance starting at 7:30. Sitting closer to the front gives the best view, but if you prefer comfort, choose a chair instead of the carpet. Be careful of monkeys in the area—they can be aggressive and snatch belongings if you’re not cautious. Also note, the daytime visit alone isn’t particularly memorable, but the evening performance is where Ubud Palace truly shines. Overall, it’s a well-maintained landmark with historical and cultural importance, but the dance show is the part that makes it worth recommending.

This was our first stop on our Bali trip. We visited the palace and purchased tickets for the Legong of Mahabharata Epic dance show. The palace itself isn’t very big—the part open to visitors is quite small—but it does offer some beautiful photo opportunities and gives you those old Balinese vibes. We came back later in the evening for the show. Outside, you’ll find old ladies selling beers, chips, rain covers, and more. Prices are quoted high, so a little negotiation helps. The show was fantastic. They provide a pamphlet explaining the different dance performances, which is worth reading to better understand what’s happening on stage. The dancers, musicians, and overall performance were excellent. While the show runs for about 1–1.5 hours and might feel a bit long for some, I personally found it really engaging. All in all, Ubud Palace is a must-stop when in Ubud!

We visited Ubud Palace, Bali in November 2024 and loved the experience. The traditional Balinese architectures are stunning, and there are great photo spots throughout. Outside, you’ll find small shops selling local crafts and souvenirs. We were lucky to catch a Balinese festival at that time - with music, offerings, and traditional dress, which made the visit even more special. A beautiful place to explore Balinese culture and heritage. Can add it to your itinerary if you are visiting Ubud.

We paid about $6.00 to get in, and overall, this was a pretty cool first stop to experience some Balinese history and temple architecture. The palace grounds give you a quick glimpse into traditional Balinese culture, but it’s definitely more of a short visit — About 15 minutes is enough to see most of it. The location is convenient, right across from the Ubud Marketplace and Starbucks, so it’s easy to pair the two experiences together and get some shopping done. The palace itself has beautiful details and feels like a calm pocket of history in the middle of Ubud’s busy center. That said, there are a lot of people visiting, so if you want to take photos, be prepared to wait 15 minutes or more just for a clear shot. Outside, you’ll also find plenty of taxi drivers asking if you need a ride, which can be a little overwhelming. The biggest downside is that there aren’t any public restrooms on-site, since the palace is still someone’s private home — So plan ahead before visiting. For the price, it’s still worth checking out, especially if you’re already exploring central Ubud, but it’s definitely more of a quick stop than an in-depth experience. Pro Tips - Go early in the morning to avoid heavy crowds and get better photo opportunities. - Be prepared for lots of taxi drivers outside offering rides—politely decline if you’re not interested. - No public restrooms are available since it’s still a private residence, so plan bathroom breaks before or after. - Pair your visit with Ubud Market right across the street for a fuller experience.

Very vibrant modern surroundings with ancient energy inside. Place is very small but is full with Dharmic signs and energy. Many statues were covered so it was bit disappointing , it would have been great if all statues were shown to visitors. But full marks to people of Bali for only preserving their Hindu heritage but also living it. Bali has so many things to cover, so it’s not possible in 5 days cover to even cover 25% of places.

Ubud Palace, also known as Puri Saren Agung, is one of the most beautiful and historically rich landmarks in the heart of Ubud. My visit here was truly enchanting — the palace beautifully showcases traditional Balinese architecture with its intricate carvings, golden details, and serene courtyards filled with tropical plants. It’s a perfect place to feel the essence of Balinese culture and royalty. The palace is not very large, but every corner tells a story of heritage and spirituality. The preserved buildings and stone sculptures reflect the traditional craftsmanship of Bali’s golden age. It’s located right in the center of Ubud, close to the art market, making it convenient to explore both in a single visit. I also enjoyed the evening traditional dance performance held in the palace courtyard — it was mesmerizing, with graceful dancers, colorful costumes, and live gamelan music creating an unforgettable experience. Entry to the palace during the day is free, and it’s well maintained with friendly staff who are happy to share information about its history. Visiting at sunset adds a magical glow to the atmosphere. Overall, Ubud Palace is a must-visit cultural gem in Bali — a place that connects you deeply to the island’s artistic soul and royal heritage.

Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung) lies in the heart of Ubud, Bali’s cultural capital. It serves both as a historical landmark and a living symbol of Balinese royal heritage. The palace dates mainly from the early 19th century, when it was expanded under Tjokorda Putu Kandel, although parts of it are older. A devastating earthquake in 1917 led to major reconstruction, but its original layout and sacred geometry were preserved. The architecture features traditional Balinese elements such as intricately carved gateways, open courtyards, stone shrines, and ornamental gardens arranged according to mandala principles. The royal family of Ubud still occupies part of the complex, while the front sections are open to the public. Visitors can stroll through the courtyards, admire carvings and shrines, and experience an atmosphere steeped in both history and spirituality. In the evenings, Ubud Palace transforms into an open-air stage for nightly traditional dance performances. Among these, the Tuesday show stands out: it typically presents the Ramayana Ballet or a Legong and Ramayana combination starting around 7:30 PM. The performance dramatizes episodes from the Hindu epic Ramayana through expressive movement, colorful costumes, and precise gestures accompanied by a live gamelan orchestra. Though the story may be difficult to follow without background knowledge, programs and leaflets usually summarize the scenes. The show lasts about an hour to ninety minutes and costs around IDR 100,000. Seats fill quickly, so arriving early or purchasing tickets in advance is recommended. The event’s setting—under the evening sky, surrounded by palace stonework and flickering lamps—creates a uniquely atmospheric experience that merges myth, art, and history. In my opinion it definitely deserves a stop.

A beautiful and culturally rich place to visit. The temple is peaceful, with sacred water pools and colorful koi fish everywhere, which makes the atmosphere very unique. It’s a great opportunity to discover Balinese traditions and spiritual rituals. It can be a bit crowded, but it’s definitely worth experiencing another culture. الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام ☪️

The Tirta empul temple is really a mistary. We actually didn't know about the temple. After we notice something new in the temple, then I browse the information about the temple and I was very happy to visit this place. There is a mistarious secret behind the water generating 365 days and 24 hrs all the time from the temple primises. They don't allow to drop the coins and stars a notice that dropping is a dangerous. Many people are taking holy bath and doing Pooja. I surprised that there is no entry ticket for this place. A traditional cloth has to wear everyone who wants to enter in to temple. I loved this place and wanted to visit again. After coming out of this temple, there is a big shopping area where some how cheaper than Ubud main center. I strongly recommend to visit this place in Bali.

Pura Tirta Empul (translated as “Holy Spring Temple”) is a Hindu Temple famous for its “Pertitaan”, the pool with the holy spring water where Balinese people perform the “Melukat”, a purification ritual, but also tourists can do it after receiving permission. In the inner courtyard there’s another pool where the water has a beautiful colour and you can see it gushing from the underground. Overall this is one the finest temples in Bali, although very crowded.

A Divine Experience at Pura Tirta Empul: I'm still reeling from my visit to Pura Tirta Empul, one of Bali's most sacred Hindu temples. As I stepped into the temple grounds, I felt a palpable sense of spirituality and connection to the divine. The highlight of my visit was the sacred dip in the natural spring fountains, where I was blessed to experience a profound sense of purification and renewal. The water, believed to be holy and healing, washed away my worries and left me feeling light, refreshed, and rejuvenated. As I immersed myself in the cool waters, I felt a deep sense of connection to the universe and the infinite possibilities within me. The tranquil atmosphere, the chanting of mantras, and the gentle flow of the springs all combined to create an experience that transcended the physical realm. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have experienced this sacred ritual, and I leave Pura Tirta Empul feeling blessed, peaceful, and forever changed. My Rating: 5/5 stars* Would I return? In a heartbeat!

A beautiful temple and a must visit when in Bali. We foudn the experience over commercial and crowded with little information on how to go about the different ceremonies. You will need to buy entry tickets, approx R75k each. Nice photo opportunity and some crazy spiders (be warned for those who are arachnophobia). Good luck.

The sacred water from around 18 falls are considered to be the healing one. Out of 18 one has to take dip of 11+2+1. Others are for worship. There is tour guide who charges IDR 100000 and an entry charge of IDR 75000 for foreigners and IDR 50000 for locals. A sarung (Lower cloth) is needed to enter the temple which is for free and can get at the main entrance door. There is a parking area which does not charge to park your vehicle. If you want to take the dip in the holy water, you need to change the Sarung and rent a blue sarung which is specially for the dip at IDR 10000. A small locker facility is also there which costs IDR 20000. The place is really a divine one and highly recommended to every tourist.

One of the most unforgettable moments in Bali was visiting Pura Tirta Empul, the famous temple of holy spring water. Surrounded by mountains and mist, the air here feels different — calm, sacred, and ancient, as if time itself slows down in respect. Locals and travelers alike come here to purify themselves in the crystal-clear spring water that flows through the stone fountains. Each stream represents a prayer — for health, peace, forgiveness, and blessings. Watching people line up to step into the cold water, one by one, reminded me how universal hope and faith can be, no matter where we come from. Sometimes, travel isn’t just about seeing new places, it’s about cleansing your heart in silence and rediscovering a sense of balance within yourself.

This place is amazing! I highly recommend going, especially if you want to get away from the Ubud crowds. There was barely anyone there. Not only are the gallerys beatiful, the scenery is too.

Beautiful museums of traditional and contemporary Balinese paintings, set inside absolutely gorgeous gardens. For the art and nature lover, not to be missed.

Agung Rai is more than an art museum. It’s a living cultural experience set in beautiful gardens with tall trees. It was wonderful to see young boys learning dance snd gamelan. Not sure where the girls were. Hopefully they get to learn too.

Great museum which includes private collection of mr and mrs Agung Rai. The ticket was a little pricey but includes a great guide book about the paintings

This is a really cool space, nice to spend a few hours. Some lovely balenease art in beautiful buildings, set out in a shady gardens. It was interesting to learn about the life of Walter Spies who was a pivotal figure in art of Bali and making Bali known to European tourists. There is also a cafe, and they have evening dance shows and various workshops ( we have not tried them though)

Great way to spend a couple of hours, especially on a rainy day (but bring a coat so you can stroll the water garden). They also host performances in the evenings.

Interesting contemporary collection of paintings and traditional Balinese paintings. This was my favorite on this visit, very large portrait, photo print image by Dutch artist Ted Van der Hulst. Galleries set in a lovely garden. Complimentary tea/ coffee in the cafe included in ticket. Recommend a visit if you are in Ubud

Used to be a UNESCO SITE, this temple is well preserved and should continue to be. Entrance fee includes temporary sarong rent which makes sense for tourists and doesn't feel rip off. There are guides at sites but they are not pushy for business. Used as a sanctuary for both Hinduism and Buddhism, you could see two religions in one. There's also a Buddha temple right at the end but it seems neglected. Overall, worth a visit especially if you are interested in cultural understanding.

This is temple in bali where Pooja is still carried out in a temple. Nice temple of Lord Ganesha and Shiva . It also has an idol of lord Buddha. The place has a nice spring and whole temple seems to be in the midst of a forest. Temple can be better maintained as there are entrance fees for the same .

This was the highlight and a great location to end out day. We arrived approx. 17:30 (closure at 18:00). It was empty and peaceful, which made it all the more special and a great location to see. One to recommend however be warned, there is a fait bit to decend and climb, all worth it though. There is also a smallish waterfall, secluded and covered by massive forest. Entry cost is R50k pp. Must see.

A very spiritual temple in Bali. Worth visiting while in Ubud. We went there during a local ceremony and saw the place decked up in traditional decorations. People were offering puja in ceremonial attire. The compound is huge with its own water fall and garden. The inside of the temple is sacred and the atmosphere feels divine. There are quite a few steps to be climbed up and down. Take your time and explore the surroundings.

It's not big cave. Inside cave there are statues of God. If in hurry one can skip this place. Architecture of entrance is different. However, road to buddha temple from their is beautiful. Nature lover will find it worth visiting.

Goa Gajah temple is one of the visiting places in Bali. The temple has entrance fee of 50000 rupai per person and temple closes by 6 pm. There is a big center with shopping stalls around. I strongly recommend to visit Goa Gajah. If you dont have enough time, just see from the top of the temple before the entry.

Cool locking cave. Some nice small temple structures. Wasn't very crowded when we got there but a lot of people want to sell you stuff or be your guide. You feel the place is made for a lot of tourists. The waterfall isn't that impressive and also very dirty.

It was ok, but be aware that visitors are not allowed inside the temple at all, so all you get to see for the entrance fee is the gardens and ponds at the front. They're pretty, for sure, but it's not quite what we were expecting. I understand it's culturally important and they don't want to be overrun with tourists, but it's disappointing to get there and find out you can't actually see the best bits. The front also houses a Starbucks (!!!) and big restaurant, so it's not exactly capturing the authentic temple feel.

A very beautiful landmark in the heart of central Ubud. Very close to the Ubud Palace and is a must visit place. There is of course entrance fees to be paid. All visitors are provided traditional attire and it looks really nice. There are cultural performances every evening. A lot of restaurants and cafes are there within the compound and nearby.

Pura Taman Kemuda (Saraswati Temple) is absolutely magical. The moment you walk in, you feel the calm energy of the place. The lotus pond is stunning — peaceful, dreamy, and perfect for photos — and the temple’s carvings and architecture are incredibly detailed and full of soul. It’s one of those spots in Ubud where you can slow down, breathe, and really feel Bali’s spiritual side. Even with visitors around, the atmosphere stays serene. I loved every minute here. A must-visit if you’re in Ubud. ✨🌺

Disappointing After seeing this online, I was very keen to visit. However, after I was left disappointed. It appears they have made some renovations/changes this year and not for the most positive. The stepping stones have been added to the lily pad ponds but I’m not sure if that’s to the detriment of the lily pads…. Didn’t look as healthy as previous photos. The main area of the temple is no longer public accessible so you’re really just seeing the front garden. Which you could just look at from the road without paying the entrance fee. The traditional Balinese dress is required to be worn, but is just passed onto the next person and on a hot day is very sweaty and grubby. Also just comes in one size. So if you are a bit taller or wider it doesn’t fit correctly and just probs make a bit of a mockery of it all rather than being culturally sensitive

Pura Taman Saraswati is one of the most beautiful Hindu temples that I visited during my stay in Bali. It's known also as the Water Palace of Ubud because of its lotus ponds: you can walk on them thanks to round decorated stones that create a path. All the visitors are given the same purple coat that matches the colour of the ornaments of the temple.

If you buy tickets online they will be cheaper than at the entrance. Dress in traditional clothes. Honestly, I think you need to come here early in the morning, as we were there at 12 noon and there were a lot of people, it was hard to take photos. The temple itself, the architecture and the decor are very cool.

60000 IDR for entrance fee you must wear the sarong and shirt, its free for rental beautiful temple with lotus pond, got a restaurant inside

This museum houses the paintings of Antonio Blanco a Spaniard who was born in the Philippines then moved to Bali and settled here. It’s a beautiful quiet place. The parrots were my favourite part I got to hold them and take photos they are lovely and have such a calming energy. There were very few people and my mom and I enjoyed strolling around together. We enjoyed the quiet garden with the fountain and fishes 🐟 also the beautiful friendly parrots 🦜 there’s a plant based restaurant next door as well with some nice gelato and great service and views! I would totally recommend this place and the gelato next door to cool down after a long day of walking

An absolute gem in Ubud and a must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, and Balinese culture. 🎨✨ The Blanco Renaissance Museum was once the home and studio of the famous Spanish-Filipino artist Don Antonio Blanco, often called “the Dali of Bali.” He settled here in the 1950s after falling in love with a Balinese dancer — and with Bali itself. The museum beautifully preserves his legacy, displaying his passionate and sometimes whimsical artworks, mostly celebrating women, nature, and the spirit of life. The museum building itself is stunning, perched on a hill overlooking lush green valleys, and designed in a mix of Balinese and Spanish architectural styles. Every corner feels alive with creativity — from the grand entrance gates to the spiral staircase and private studio. You can even see Blanco’s old workspace just as he left it, filled with brushes, paints, and personal memorabilia. The gardens are peaceful and full of charm, with colorful flowers, sculptures, and even a few peacocks wandering freely — they really add to the fairytale atmosphere! 🦚 There’s also a small café where you can relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the views after your visit. If you love art, history, or just discovering the soul of Bali through its artists, you’ll definitely appreciate this place. It’s both inspiring and serene — a glimpse into the life of a man who truly embodied creativity. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ubud! 🌺

Put this on your list of Top 100 things to do in Ubud. In other words there are 99 better things to do in Ubud than set foot in this badly-lit, dusty, self-Indulgent museum to a mediocre artist. The building and its grounds are impressive but that’s where it ends. Save your 100 IDR entrance fee and use it instead for a couple of patisserie at one of Ubuds best restaurants right next door at Plant Bistro. Here’s a picture of one of the displays at the museum to give you a taste of what you’re missing!

An interesting walk around Blanco's house and studio. There is a lovely outside area with, surprisingly, a few macaws and parrots on perches. Also a some mynah birds in a cage, which seemed a bit sad. The main ballroom building was very impressive. Tourist tickets cost Rp 100,000 which seemed a bit steep. If ticket price were halved, that would perhaps be most appropriate.

The museum was wonderful and the staff were very friendly. They even helped me take photos. However, during my visit I kept hearing a white parrot crying very loudly in a way that sounded distressed. When I walked closer, the parrot suddenly looked cheerful and seemed eager to interact with people, which made me feel it might be a bit anxious. I hope the parrots here can receive proper care and attention.🙏

I came expecting a nice relaxing art viewing but I was disappointed. The place was beautiful but my god it's so HOT inside, I was sweating like crazy and it makes me not comfortable to be in the museum for too long. The birds were cute though, and the staff was nice and would offer to take your pics. But honestly for the ticket price of 55k it wasn't worth it overall

We had a lovey morning at the museum. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable and the grounds were as beautiful as the art inside. A morning well spent.

Worth a visit if you’re into art. 🎨 They’ve got some nice gardens and ponds outside, and four buildings showcasing works from old to modern. You can even buy paintings. Personally, I found it a bit boring — was expecting more than just art.

The museum is a must go to see a piece of the history of Balinese art. It’s not well conserved, but has a great overview of how art has evolved over the centuries. In oct 2025, tickets were 95k IDR with a bottle of water :-). The museum is split into 4 galleries with the south one dedicated to very recent artwork - the least interesting one. The gardens of the museum are beautiful.

A well curated museum. Alot of Balinese history through art. If you want to take it all in across each building of which there are four, be prepared to spend 90 minutes minimum.

This is probably among the better art museums in Indonesia. More importantly, it provides a narrative about the development of painting in Bali. The grounds are very beautiful, and given that most tourists won’t bother with a serious museum about art in a place such as Bali, it’s incredibly peaceful.

Good museum with many interesting paintings. Nicely located in 4 buildings around a garden.

Absolutely loved this little art museum - the grounds are serene and picturesque, I learned about the artistic culture in Bali over time, and the special exhibition was very eye-catching. Visiting on a Sunday morning in late July had very few other people around.

The museum is plain and simple, without any modern technological distractions. It's a great place to relax and take a break from Ubud's noisy atmosphere and heavy traffic. There are four separate buildings, each representing a different period in the development of Indonesian art. Definitely worth a visit. Obviously, I didn't take pictures inside the museum.

We just visited the rice fields. The entrance fee is 50K per person. It’s very beautiful and not too crowded. There are also extra activities you can try, like ziplining, swings, and biking—I found them quite entertaining and fun to experience. The staff were very friendly. Even if you don’t do any of the activities, they’ll still help you take pictures at the free photo spots (like the nests). The only possible danger I noticed was one staircase that needs repair. The ground in that area was also very slippery. Other than that, I can totally recommend this place!

After having a disappointing rice field experience we came here to have a coffee and some munchies. We have ordered a cappuccino and a Balinese spring roll, both of which were nice, tasty and good. The rates were very reasonable and pocket-friendly. The service was a little slow and they don't take orders post 7pm.

We came to the restaurant for lunch. I ordered a chicken parmigiana, which was good. My wife ordered a chicken stay. The chicken was dry and spicy. I ordered a coconut water, which was good, but warm. They have free WiFi and a beautiful rice terrace view

So so so touristy (of course). The terrace is split into different sections which each has their own swing and zip line so it really doesn’t matter so much where you enter - the offer is the same. People come to take pictures and leave. Sure you can get some good angles but if you‘re expecting to be walking around the rice fields on a nice litter promenade you‘re mistaken. If the swings and photo ops don’t interest you - there‘s a donation based entry to the rice fields further up the road.

We visited Uma Ceking Resto & Swing while exploring the Tegalalang rice terraces. The view is absolutely stunning and the swings are a fun experience, perfect for photos and enjoying the Bali vibe. The restaurant is clean and offers good local food at reasonable prices, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. That said, it’s definitely a very touristy spot, so don’t expect an off-the-beaten-path experience. Overall, it’s worth a stop for the scenery and the swing, but more of a “must-try once” than a hidden gem. Solid 4/5. 🌾✨

Very crowded and filled with tourists, and we were brought here by our driver. Initially we wanted to go to other rice fields but this could not be arranged due to company policy. Therefore it’s not surprising that there were many people. Luckily we already tried out the Bali swing at other places and were able to avoid the crowd that was queuing for the dresses and swings. Only paid the 50k entrance fee to see the rice fields, but that could also be seen from the balcony for free. Would not suggest this place at all unless you go early and wanted to combine swings, rice fields and lunch all at a single location. Prices are not cheap. We paid less than 350k for swings including dress rental at other places. And there was no crowd, so it was very relaxing unlike Uma Ceking.

Uma Restaurant at the Swing offers a beautiful blend of delicious food and breathtaking views. The setting is relaxing and scenic, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal after exploring the swings😍

The place is quiet and peaceful, compared to others like it in the area. You can feel the spirituality. Beautiful, with few tourists. You can do the water purification ritual.

Saw this place while exploring google maps. Didn’t do the purification ritual but watched others, there was a guide explaining the whole process and was not busy like the other place. Had a nice to exploring this place. You need to cover your legs while here, they provide a sarong which was good.

This is my favourite temple in Bali. It was not in my to do list, but I accidentally found it on Google Maps. It is not a popular place among tourists. Tranquility and the beautiful nature. I recommend to feed koi fish there, it is an amazing experience.

Majestic, Peaceful, and Full of Ancient Soul Pura Gunung Kawi is truly breathtaking — a place where history, nature, and spirituality come together in the most powerful way. As soon as you walk down through the lush rice terraces and hear the sound of the river below, you feel transported into another world. There is something deeply peaceful about this temple, almost as if time slows down. The ancient rock-cut shrines are incredible to see in person. Standing in front of them, you can really feel the weight of centuries of devotion and sacred energy. The atmosphere is calm and grounding, with the gentle sound of flowing water adding to the serenity. This temple has a quiet strength — not overwhelming, but deeply moving. It’s a place for reflection, stillness, and connection. Walking through the pathways surrounded by jungle, water, and stone felt like stepping back into a piece of Bali’s soul. Pura Gunung Kawi is absolutely worth visiting if you want a peaceful, spiritual experience wrapped in nature and ancient history. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you leave.

A really lovely little temple, not overcrowded, quiet and calm. You could also do a purification ritual here if you’d like or just spent hours sitting by the beautiful pond feeding the fish. I real spot of calm.

Most of the Bali temples seems to be okay. However at every temple there is an entry fee. For this temple 50000 rupai entry ticket and every body must wore the traditional bottom wear on our dress to enter into the temple primises. There is a new construction and the theme is expanding. There is water around close to the exit gate, many different varieties of fish are there. Toilets also available in the primises.

A bit far from the Ubud center, went there like 4PM, less crowded. Entrance is 50,000 IDR with balinese sarong included (you need to return after) lots of Koi fish. You can feed them by buying 5,000 worth of fish food. Maybe best to come here on a sunny weather.

The best time to visit is just before sunset, when the atmosphere is calm, traffic is lighter, and the area is pleasantly cool. The entrance fee is very affordable and already includes parking. Along the trail, several small local vendors offer refreshments — a simple yet meaningful way to support the community during your visit. What makes this destination truly special is its commitment to preserving the natural landscape while empowering the local residents. A serene and sustainable experience that reflects the authentic beauty of Bali.

An absolutely stunning spot and definitely worth a visit! 🌾 The views over the rice terraces are breathtaking, and you can really feel the beauty and calm of Bali here. There are those famous swing experiences where you can rent a beautiful flowing dress and pay for a professional photo or video — they’re amazing if you want that classic Bali swing moment! 🎥💃 But there are also lovely free spots around the terraces where you can take great photos without spending extra. Just explore a little and you’ll find beautiful angles with fewer crowds. Highly recommend going early in the morning for the best light and a peaceful atmosphere. ✨

These terraces are located closest to Ubud and are by far the most popular with tourists. Admission is free, but you can pay a voluntary fee. They are beautifully maintained, with many spots and viewpoints for beautiful photos. It's worth sitting down at a nearby restaurant (there are many to choose from) for a drink or a meal and admiring the rice terraces from a different perspective. A phenomenal place. I won't say more. It's a must-see.

Absolutely stunning place! 🌾 The Tegallalang Rice Terraces are one of the most beautiful spots in Bali. You can walk along the narrow paths through the rice fields and enjoy the amazing view of the terraced hills. It’s peaceful, refreshing, and a great way to connect with nature. Perfect for travelers, families with kids, or even teens who want to learn about local farming and Balinese culture. Don’t forget to stop by one of the small cafés around for a coconut or coffee while enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend visiting early morning or before sunset for the best experience! 🌅✨

We arrived in the early morning, almost at opening time, and we didn't regret it. It was very quiet, beautiful, and deserted! Nature had just woken up, and the terraces looked stunning on all sides! We stopped along the way to refresh ourselves with coconuts while admiring the stunning views. I definitely recommend it.

10/10 worth the stop or a detour to visit !! The terrace is absolutely breathtaking and there’s plenty of beautiful spots for photos along the way. Theres also Balinese swings, and zip lining opportunities which I did not participate in but looked awesome. Could definitely spend a few hours here if the weather is nice and you wanted to walk/hike throughout the terrace

Spectacular place to visit. I HIGHLY recommend going there around sunrise. I was let in at 6:30am and i was the only one there for a good 30 mins. To be left to your own devices in a UNESCO World Heritage Site is out of this world. Stunning scenery every way you look. Great for photographers

Great Views and Photos, But Staff Attitude Needs Work Visited Real Bali Swing in Ubud and overall, it’s a good place if you’re looking for some iconic photo moments with a lush, scenic backdrop of greenery and water. The location itself is beautiful and natural, with about 8–10 different swings designed for that perfect Instagram shot. However, it’s on the expensive side — 650K IDR per person for access to all swings and lunch, plus 200K per person if you want professional photography, and another 250K for dress rental (plus 50K for a floral crown). Also, do note they prefer cash over card, which can be a hassle if you’re not carrying enough. Some swings were genuinely fun and made for amazing photos, while others felt more like filler rides just there to increase the count. The major downside was the staff, especially the male crew members managing the swings. The reception ladies were friendly and helpful, but the swing assistants were rude, impatient, and lacking basic manners. Despite paying for photography, we had to call them multiple times just to get their attention for photos, and they acted like they were doing us a favor. Another thing I found unfair is that even if you want to use just one or two swings, you still have to pay the full 650K — no option for individual access. Toilets are also very limited and not well-maintained, which was disappointing for a place charging premium prices. Overall, worth a visit for the natural setting and memorable pictures, but the experience could be so much better if the staff were more courteous and the pricing model was a bit more flexible.

Obviously very touristy but such a gorgeous place showcasing the beauty of Bali. Had so much fun taking photos even with just the general entry, which also came with the lunch buffet. It was just a nice bonus but you could even just sit there with some tea and soak in the views. I recommend going super early before it gets packed and if you're lucky you might get one of the local photographers to help you but make sure you tip them!!!

It looks dreamy and adventurous in photos, but in reality, it’s more of a well-managed photo spot than an actual thrill ride. The queues can be long, and everything feels a bit commercialized, from the setup to the pricing. That said, once you’re up there swinging against the backdrop of Bali’s lush greenery, you can’t deny the view is breathtaking. The staff are friendly, they guide you well for safety and also help you get those perfect Insta-worthy shots. It might not live up to the overhype, but it’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience — one of those iconic memories and photo proofs that mark your visit to Bali 🇮🇩🌴📸✨

We had an amazing experience at Bali Swing! The staff gave us all the time we needed to take beautiful photos — no rushing or waiting lines stressing everyone out, even though it was Saturday. A big thank you to the whole team for being so kind and for preparing a lovely surprise for my birthday. It made the day even more special!

The guys at the couple's swing are so nice and supportive, they try to take the best pics and videos, and they try until you get beautiful memories. My husband and I were a bit scared of the heights but they were very understanding and encouraged us. :)

We came to Bali Swing for the first time 🥰 the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We did not have to book and managed to get in pretty quick. The prices are affordable. Definitely recommend.

Superb photos Please carry your camera There pic are not so good Many different place to take photo

Amazing experience! All the staff was very good at explaining everything. Made us do great poses and took beautiful photos. Mr. Ketut is a really nice person! ❤️❤️❤️

I loved the Bali Swing experience! The staff was incredibly helpful; they picked us up from the villa and drove us for three hours to the location. Once we arrived, the team assisted us in choosing dresses that best suited our body types and helped us with posing for photos.

I absolutely loved my experience at the Bali Swing! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The views over the jungle were breathtaking, the swings were both exciting and safe. The team was amazing — so friendly, professional, and helpful. They made sure I felt comfortable the whole time and even helped with taking great pictures. Their positive energy really added to the experience. It was one of the highlights of my trip, and I can honestly say it’s worth every moment. I’d give it a solid 5/5 and highly recommend it to anyone!

Visiting the Bali Swing was definitely one of those “only in Bali” moments — and it truly lived up to its reputation as a bucket-list photo experience. This is very much an attraction designed for the photos and aesthetics, and if you go in knowing that, you’ll enjoy it. We chose to wear the traditional satin, flowy dresses that you see all over social media, and it added so much to the overall feel of the shoot — dramatic, elegant, and perfectly suited for the jungle backdrop. The swings themselves are gorgeous and set up to frame you against the lush Bali greenery and valley view. We did four different swings, plus several additional photo setups around the grounds, and each one offered a slightly different vibe and perspective. Just be prepared: while it’s fun, the process takes time. It’s essentially a mini production — waiting for your turn, getting the dress draped just right, climbing onto each swing, and capturing multiple poses. If you’re expecting to breeze through in 20 minutes, it’s not that kind of activity. The staff deserves a huge shout-out. Everyone was super friendly, patient, and helpful. Even though we hired a professional photographer, there was always a staff member ready to grab extra shots on our personal phones at every swing. They clearly understand that content is the goal here and are very supportive in making sure you walk away with plenty of amazing footage. As an overall experience, the Bali Swing is exciting, playful, and very Instagram-forward. You’re not here for adventure or nature immersion — you’re here for beautiful visuals, dress-flowing drama, and a once-in-a-lifetime photoshoot in the jungle. And for that, it absolutely delivers. If you’re coming to Bali and want those iconic cinematic shots floating over the treetops, this is the place. Just bring your patience, your camera (or photographer!), and your best posing energy — because the content you’ll walk away with is worth it.

🌺 A Magical Bali Swing Experience – Pure Bliss Above the Jungle! 🌺 Our visit to the Bali Swing was nothing short of breathtaking — a perfect blend of adventure, serenity, and sheer beauty. As we soared high above the lush green valleys and winding rivers, the world seemed to pause. The gentle rush of wind, the sound of nature, and the panoramic views of Bali’s tropical landscape made it feel like I was flying in paradise. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring everything felt both safe and magical. The attention to detail — from the harness to the picture-perfect setups — made the entire experience unforgettable. The photographers captured every moment beautifully, turning each swing into a memory that feels like a scene from a dream. Beyond the adrenaline rush, there was a deep sense of peace up there. Looking out over the emerald forests and feeling the sunlight on our face, we understood why Bali is called the Island of the Gods. Great Bali , Great people. God bless you all - From an Indian

They really care for you that you look good on the pictures. They support with dress, pose, smile EVERYTHING 😍 I recommend a million times.

Had a great experience at sidan Bali swing. The event manager updated me on time and made our whole time so peaceful and the staff were all fo friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Place where you can buy most of the souvenirs (Bali coffee, tea, some spices like vanilla and curry, wooden statues, bags, clothes and much more). However, you have to negotiate a lot, usually the sellers tell you first a price, which is three times higher than a real value.

Ubud Market – A Lively Hub of Culture and Craftsmanship Ubud Market is a must-visit spot in the heart of Ubud, perfect for those looking to soak in local culture and shop for authentic Balinese souvenirs. The market is filled with stalls offering a wide range of items — from wooden carvings, woven bags, and sarongs, to handmade jewelry and traditional Balinese costumes. It’s a great place to wander and explore, with narrow paths lined by colorful, traditional shops. Bargaining is expected — and part of the fun — so don’t hesitate to negotiate for the best price 🤭. While it can get busy during the day, the lively atmosphere adds to its charm. It’s conveniently located near the Ubud Palace and Water Palace, making it easy to include in your walking tour of central Ubud. Tip: Come early for fewer crowds and better deals!

Ubud Market is one of those places where I could spend an entire day and still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. It’s vibrant, busy, and full of hidden treasures tucked away in little alleys, the kind of place that makes you want to wander endlessly. One thing to know: there are no fixed prices. Bargaining here isn’t just allowed, it’s expected. The owner usually start high and it’s up to your bargaining skills to bring it down.😎😎😎

Street market with many authentic products but also "made in China". Prices... so-so! You can get a good price if you negotiate.

This place especially stands out for its wide variety of glassware, wooden items, rattan products, and shirts compared to other cities. However, vendors tend to start with high prices, so it seems reasonable to negotiate about 60–70% off the initial price. There’s no need to haggle too aggressively, but there’s also no reason to overpay. It’s best when both sides are satisfied — the seller makes a fair profit, and I get a good deal. If we can maintain good manners and be respectful while bargaining, I believe it helps create a more pleasant atmosphere. Some sellers may be pushy or show disappointment if you don’t buy, but even then, leaving with a smile and a polite “sorry” makes me feel better.

A must-visit spot in Ubud! This street market is full of local charm, with a wide variety of handmade crafts, traditional souvenirs, and Balinese textiles. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, and the sellers are generally friendly and open to bargaining. It’s a great place to support local artisans and find unique gifts. Don’t forget to try some local snacks from the nearby food stalls!

This is a "must-not-miss" place when you're in Ubud, especially if it's your first time here. The Ubud Street Market is about 500 metres long and connects to the main Ubud Market by the road. Honestly, this market is much more interesting to visit compared to the other main one. There's more character here while the things look more interesting. Vendors can be a little pushy to sell their things. Great place to get some Balinese souvenirs.

This place is more like a tracking place like an adventure sightseeing you need to climb above all the way to the Rice Terrace place to see the exact view. Also while coming back is also a pain, elderly people and infants and kids. I would recommend a big note for them because while booking it was not told to us that it would be so like a roller coaster one

Even if this is a tourist trap, it is beautiful. If you go to Bali, you should visit a rice terrace: eiter this one or the one at Alas Harum (there the entrance fee is more expensive cuz the place is bigger and has more bridges, statues and decorations for photos). We had a driver who explained to us about rice terrace. You can take here pictures in the swing, rent a dress with a train for those instagram photos, do a zip line ( normal or superman), they all have different prices, not incuded in the entrance fee. You can walk around in the rice field and see the rice. On the way, you can even see some locals renting traditional baskets in which they carry the rice (the ones similar to a libra) or traditional hats. The entrance fee was about 25k (less than 1.5€) per person, if i remember correctly.

Was nice and peaceful just come here early morning when it open to enjoy the vibes and do the trekking, so not too crowded because after 9am it will be full. I would say they must be more clearly put guidance for the trekking area somehow you'll find it confusing where to start and keep up with the trekking but Overall was good to see when you are in Ubud

It is an amazing site to have a good time. There are enteranc tickets and other tickets, including photos shot for swing and lovely spots if you want. The green landscape is wonderful. There are restaurants and coffee shops. This is a must seen place.

🌾 Tegallalang Rice Terraces – A Peaceful Slice of Bali’s Heartland If you're visiting Ubud, Tegallalang Rice Terraces is an absolute must-see. These stunning, emerald-green rice paddies are carved into the hillside in dramatic steps, creating a breathtaking landscape that looks like it's straight out of a postcard. 🌿⛰️ Located just 20 minutes north of Ubud, this UNESCO-recognized cultural landscape is more than just beautiful—it's a living example of Bali’s ancient Subak irrigation system, passed down for generations. 💧🌾 Walking through the terraces is a peaceful experience. You’ll follow narrow paths through the fields, cross little bamboo bridges, and be surrounded by tropical nature, birdsong, and farmers tending to their crops. Many locals offer guided walks, and small donations are appreciated if you go deeper into private parts of the terraces.

An over rated place far from being original and preserved. Surrounded by cafe bars and one being built INSIDE the valley. This place as many in Bali will be a garbage dump in not too much time.

great experience. really beautiful garden and they have swings, zipline, all types of activities. they also have cafes and eateries, the food was great there. they also have vegetarian options. avoid going during sun, it gets very hot and tiring.

Hello, my experience was super (especcially when you can appreciate fine arts “Bali sculpter type”) people were very open and kind. Thank you for this experience. :))

I just passed this place over during a bike tour, but I felt overwhelmed by the magnificent sculptures(it must be the Vishnu riding Garuda) at the entrance of this gallery. It was so vividly colored, at the time I visited, but reviews here seem to have only has uncolored version of it. I would appreciate someone who visit here and leave a review of colored version of the entrance. Thanks in advance!

It's open and amazing!

Amazing art works

(Translated by Google) A truly enchanting place where you can breathe art in all its nuances. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Bali to visit this one of a kind museum. (Original) Un posto davvero incantevole dove si respira l'arte in tutte le sue sfumature. Consiglio vivamente a chiunque si rechi a Bali di visitare questo museo unico nel suo genere.

We stayed for two nights in a Park View Room, and it was absolutely sensational. Waking up to the sight and sounds of the elephants in the early morning — and watching them wander peacefully at night — was a truly magical experience. The park is beautifully maintained, and it’s clear how well the elephants are cared for by their dedicated mahouts. The Mammoths Head Bar is a lovely spot for breakfast with a relaxing atmosphere and great views. We also enjoyed the Treetop Cocktail Bar, which is perfect for an afternoon drink or evening snacks — great cocktails and friendly service. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be the main restaurant menu, which feels a little limited and not particularly inspired by local Balinese cuisine. Also, food and drinks across the property are quite pricey — roughly double what you’d pay at nearby local spots. That said, the overall experience was magnificent — peaceful, memorable, and deeply moving. Mason Elephant Lodge is a truly special place where you can see genuine care for the animals and enjoy an unforgettable stay surrounded by nature.

We had the most amazing time at Mason Elephant Safari Park & Lodge. The elephants are clearly well taken care of & loved by the staff & owners. There is no sign of stress and if they weren’t recused many decades ago they would have zero change of survival. It was a beautiful experience interacting and watching these magnificent elephants! The park also works to educate people about their endangerment & loss of habitat! The gardens are spectacular & life has been restored by all the tress and flowers that have been hand planted over the years to create a thriving habitat!

absolutely loved this place! The park is super green, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. You can even stay in small houses inside the park and live close to the elephants — such a unique experience. We got to feed them fruits and also chose the activity to wash the elephants, which was amazing! The elephants clearly enjoyed the care and attention. You can also ride or swim with them for an extra fee. Visiting this park feels meaningful because it’s all about giving the elephants love and care, not harm. Truly unforgettable experience!

We stayed one night at the lodge and it was an amazing experience. The room was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly. All the experiences with the elephants were very well organized and we created wonderful memories. The elephants were well treated and you could see the love and dedication that the staff had for them. The only negative point for us was the food. For such a wonderful place, the food quality was really underwhelming at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are still giving 5 stars but this point needs urgent attention. Thank you

Such an amazing first day to our honeymoon in Bali. The elephants are well looked after here and the guides are very kind and helpful, they help you get some amazing photos and videos to remember your experience. We washed and fed elephants and also did a ride. We would recommend doing some of the extra activities, as if you came just for entrance only you might feel a little underwhelmed, many of the elephants were either being used for activities or behind the scenes (which you can see from the ride). The ride was much longer than we expected, about 30 minutes through the jungle and was such an amazing experience.

Visited and stayed at the park twice and can’t wait to visit again. Elephants are so well cared for, but I have seen people say elephants are chained, they give rides etc, please please please take time to find out more information. The are only chained for food and sleeping for safety, yes they have rides but take time to learn about the paths around the park, specially designed for their feet, the chairs on their backs are also specially designed. It is a truly magical place, I can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s a very special place

I did a bit of research before going and read some reviews that didn’t convince me, but I decided to visit anyway to see things for myself. I didn’t like it at all. It was beautiful to see those majestic animals up close and even more amazing to touch them, but seeing the “keepers” who take the elephants for the “safari ride” using spikes on their heads was really upsetting. I also don’t agree with the safari ride itself. The place felt quite small considering the number of elephants they have. You can also see the chains in the areas where each elephant stays. In short, I don’t recommend it — I’d rather support a place where animals are freer and, if possible, can return to their natural habitat.

Dont expect fast and adrenaline inducing ride, its a slow and take it in kind of thing. Would be very good for the kids. The staff were super fun and made it more exciting. Good facilities to wash and lock you stuff away. Food was also decent and some really nice views/places to take some photos.

Had a wonderful experience lazy river tubing with the most entertaining guides Wayan and Made, the tunnels were brilliant, built by the Japanese in WWII. We were so very well looked after, entertained and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique (no rapids) experience. They supply a waterproof phone cover and take photos and videos for you. The Pandawa Cafe is lovely with a beautiful outlook and a very nice meal and drink included. Booked direct through whats app. Would definitely do again. Thank you Wayan and Made, we can't wipe the smile off our face!

1st visit: Thank you so much Ketut and Wyan for our rafting adventure today. We had the best time. You guys were the funniest!! 2nd visit: Today we done bike riding through the rice fields with Ketut. What a gentleman. Great guide, shared lots of information about the local traditions and how communities live. Thank you uncle Ketut.

My husband's 71 and I'm 69 and we did this tour today and it was great. There are lots of steps down and up but we managed just fine. The staff are very safety conscious but also add so much fun to the experience. Our lunch was delicious and served in the most beautiful surroundings. It was a truly memorable experience.

Good hour or so here. There are a lot of steps down and then back up again! Unfortunately they don't offer hand rails, after navigating the varying steps I reached the bottom and bosh down I went (the paving was slimy and flip flops have no grip!) Queue the staff helping get me up and a nasty graze to my hand, some iodine and a plaster later and we were shown to the changing areas (there is male and female changing but there is no private changing). Then back up some slimy steps , jump in a golf cart to the point where you hop in your tubes. The staff gave a full briefing and in we popped to our "tubes" - the water is like a dirty brown river water so don't wear anything decent and it's very silty on the bottom. You trundle along with the flow of the water and go through 15 tunnels some are open to daylight and some are dark and the cave roofs are only about 2-3 inches from the end of your nose (you have to lay back flat). During the "ride" one of the team are with you but at the end they let you go 1 by 1 down two small drops and hey presto you are back to the changing area. A quick shower (I would advise you wear your flip flops at all times) with fresh laundered towels supplied by the company and we were good to go. Before we left the the team were collecting our towels and he went down (having removed his aqua socks), so these would also be a recommendation. Only one downside, they don't really know the reason for the tunnels in that they were constructed by Japanese prisoners during WWII but why?? Thanks to the team.

very nice get reservation before your visit bring extra clothes with you and towel

Love this place. We go every time we are in Bali. Booki makes the experience well worth it and we just laugh the whole the time. and the scenery is amazing. Definitely a must.

I joined this Keliki painting class as a beginner and had a great time. Nanoe explained each step clearly and made it easy to follow. I was able to finish my own piece and learn useful techniques. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming. A good experience for anyone interested in Keliki painting.

We had such a great time at Nani’s Keliki Painting class! From start to finish we were so well looked after. They guided us through every step and were so patient and helpful. They were also really friendly great people who enjoyed getting to know and learning about Balinese life from them. Our paintings turned out more beautiful than we could ever imagine and we are so happy with them. We also loved their cute puppies! We also bought some beautiful art from Nano’s gallery as it’s just too amazing not to! We would not hesitate to take another class here, Suksma! 🙏

As an art student, I was very interested in attending a workshop. It was a great experience to learn more about the Balinese art of drawing. I was guided with a lot of patience until my own "artwork" was finished. A beautiful studio surrounded by original historical houses and a lovely garden. Definitely worth a visit!

I had the most incredible time at Nano Keliki Painting Class with Wayan. He is not only an incredibly skilled artist, but also a generous, patient, and truly inspiring teacher. As an art teacher myself, I can honestly say his method of building skill and confidence is among the best I’ve ever experienced. Wayan went above and beyond — he even took me to visit the local art school where talented Balinese children study traditional painting. I had the chance to meet one of the young artists and purchase a few extraordinary pieces from the school, which I will treasure forever. Even when my class ran late into the evening and no Gojek drivers were available, Wayan personally called around and found someone trustworthy to take me safely back to Ubud at a very reasonable price. I felt completely safe and warmly welcomed the entire time. His wife even brought me a thoughtful little treat of tofu and coffee while I painted — just one more example of the kindness and care they show their guests. If you’re looking for an authentic, skillful, and deeply meaningful art experience in Bali, do not miss this class. It was truly the highlight of my trip.

Loved my experience of learning keliki paitinig with Nanoe. He is such a patient and helpful teacher. It takes patience to complete the painting. We are really happy about our results!

The best place to learn Keliki Art! I really enjoyed the class and learned patience. If you are interested in Keliki paintings I can also highly recommend this place, because 80% of the money goes to the artists and 20% to the painting school that offers free painting classes for kids to keep the tradition alive!:) better go here than to Ubud market🙏

Such a great experience learning about the Keliki art style! Such friendly and patient people, especially when I'm not the best artist! We left with two paintings that look amazing and that's down to the teachers! Definitely recommend this class!
