Nestled in the central highlands of Bali, Ubud is a must-visit destination not only for its majestic waterfalls and vast rice fields, but also for its rich and diverse culture. From sacred water temples to thrilling cave tubing experiences, Ubud offers countless exciting activities waiting for you to explore. Let Mytour help you pack your bags and embark on your Ubud adventure now!
1. 'Eat, Pray, Love' - Healing at Mengening Temple
Just like Julia Roberts in the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love', you can experience the process of soul healing in Ubud. Mengening Temple is a sacred spot where both locals and travelers come to participate in cleansing rituals, washing away negativity. During this sacred ceremony, #teamMytour will be wrapped in a sarong, and a Hindu priest will guide you through the refreshing stream.
Tip: When booking a temple tour on Mytour, you'll also get the chance to marvel at the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tegallalang Rice Terraces. The tour includes round-trip transportation, saving you time and effort on travel.
2. Immerse Yourself in History at Pura Gunung Kawi
Take a 'time travel' back to 11th-century Bali, where intricately carved temples and grand structures create a nostalgic, artistic atmosphere. Pura Gunung Kawi is an archaeological site surrounded by lush green rice fields. Here, you’ll explore the 'Valley of the Kings' with its 12-meter tall statues of ancient kings and numerous other amazing hidden paths.
3. 'Date' the Mischievous Residents of Ubud Monkey Forest
One of the most entertaining activities when visiting Ubud is meeting the cheekiest monkeys on the island. In the Ubud Monkey Forest, over 700 long-tailed macaques roam freely, swinging around, eating, and pulling off antics that will leave you laughing uncontrollably.
Tip: Ubud monkeys are known for their intelligence, but they can also be quite mischievous. They might 'steal' your sunglasses, drinks, and other belongings, so be sure to keep your valuables safe!
4. Thrill Seekers: Cave Tubing Adventure
Experience the ultimate thrill by rafting down the river in the most daring way possible: cave tubing! Perfect for adventure seekers, cave tubing is an exciting way to enjoy the scenery as you navigate the rapids of the Pakerisan River and float through caves until you reach the picturesque Tegallalang Village. You can join in a group of five or take on the challenge solo, if you’re brave enough. This is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
5. 'Fly' High at Alas Harum
#teamMytour, don’t forget to try the 'sky swing' experience when you visit Bali! In the heart of Ubud, you can soar high above the ground while sitting on the Alas Harum swing. Choose from the Super Extreme Swing (dare to fly at 25 meters!), Couple Swing (the classic duo swing), or the Romantic Bed Swing (a dreamy bed swing for two). Each ride offers stunning views and the perfect opportunity for those envy-inducing Instagram shots!
6. Hunt for Bali's Beautiful Waterfalls in Ubud
Ubud is home to 24 of Bali's most beautiful waterfalls. From the iconic Tibumana Waterfall to hidden gems like Goa Rang Rang, this town is full of must-see sights. You can visit them with an exclusive Mytour tour! Embark on a full-day journey to discover Ubud's best-kept secrets: Kato Lampo with its refreshing but small waterfall, and Goa Rang Rang, a stone waterfall where locals perform sacred purification rituals.
7. Enjoy Afternoon Tea at Chedi Club
After a long day exploring temples, do you want to slow down a bit and relax while recharging your energy? Spend an afternoon enjoying afternoon tea at Chedi Club – one of the most luxurious resorts in Ubud, nestled among lush green rice fields. Here, you’ll immerse yourself in the fragrance of local teas and indulge in a feast of spicy Balinese dishes, including tuna, chicken curry pastries, and much more!
8. 'Shop 'Til You Drop' at Ubud Market
Dive into the vibrant atmosphere of Bali’s artistic culture by visiting Ubud Market! Unlike typical markets, Ubud Market is full of life, with fresh meats and produce available from 3 AM to 8 AM, and transforming into a bustling arts and crafts market by 9 AM! #teamMytour can find traditional clothing, unique souvenirs, and even pick up a handcrafted bag as a memorable gift.
9. Admire the Beautiful Lotus Pond at Saraswati Temple
Perhaps the most beautiful temple you can visit in Bali is Saraswati Temple. Surrounded by water, lotus flowers, and traditional Balinese architecture, this is the perfect place to cool off and marvel at the temple’s stunning beauty. As the sun sets, you can enjoy a traditional dance performance, offering a deeper understanding of Bali’s unique cultural artistry.
10. Watch the Sunset at Campuhan Ridge Walk
Good news for #teamMytour: You don't have to spend a fortune on your Ubud trip!

This lush and picturesque path is famous for its stunning views over the hills and gentle trails, perfect for cycling, relaxing walks, and capturing beautiful sunset photos.
11. Relax and Recharge with Authentic Balinese Massage Therapy
Indulge yourself with a relaxing experience at Chapung Wellness Spa, why not? This famous Balinese spa offers traditional Balinese massage therapy, helping you recharge your mind, body, and soul after a day of endless exploration. As you immerse yourself in Ayurvedic oils and healing herbs, you’ll feel all your worries melt away, blending into the serene tropical environment of the rainforest.
12. Become a Yoga Master in Ubud
