Things to do in Ubud & Central Bali

Ubud is Bali's cultural heart: the Sacred Monkey Forest, the Tegallalang and Jatiluwih rice terraces, the water temple of Tirta Empul, Goa Gajah, the Campuhan Ridge walk, Ubud Palace dance evenings, art museums and cooking classes.

Good to knowKeep food and plastic bags away from the monkeys, as the forest asks. Rice terraces and temples are best early in the morning before tour buses arrive; Jatiluwih is a long drive west, so pair it with the Bedugul lakes.
