The Experience

Before You Go

Start before 8 a.m.

Begin early to avoid peak traffic in Denpasar and Seminyak and get softer light for photos at temples and terraces.

Carry small change

Pack cash for parking fees, temple donations, and small purchases at roadside stalls where cards aren’t accepted.

Confirm inclusions ahead

Clarify whether tolls, parking, and extra hours incur additional charges to avoid surprises at the end of the day.

Request accessibility needs in advance

If you need an infant seat or wheelchair access, confirm availability before your pickup time to ensure the right vehicle.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sidemen Valley for quieter terraces and local weaving villages
  • Early-morning viewpoint at Tegallalang before tour buses arrive

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (near temple forests)
  • Egret and heron species along rice paddies and wetlands

Conservation Note

Bali faces overtourism and plastic pollution; support local guides, use refillable bottles, and respect rice-terrace irrigation rules and temple protocols.

Ubud evolved as a center for arts and royal courts; rice-irrigation subak systems date back centuries and shape the island’s landscape and community rhythms.
