More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A thin mist lifts from the jungle as your driver steers out of central Ubud and into the island’s green spine. The first steps through the Sacred Monkey Forest place you under tall banyan and fig branches where long-tailed macaques move with confident curiosity, inspecting backpacks and posing for photos. Later, narrow lanes open to the stepped geometry of Tegalalang—rice paddies arranged on carved terraces that follow the slope like staircases shaped by generations of farmers.
