Best Things to do in Ubud (2026)

Ubud is a good base for gentle outdoor activities. The Campuhan Ridge Walk starts beside Pura Gunung Lebah and follows a paved path of about two kilometres along a grassy ridge, best walked early in the morning before the heat builds. In the centre, the Ubud Art Market opposite Ubud Palace sells woodcarvings, paintings, textiles and baskets from the surrounding craft villages, and bargaining is expected.

Yoga is part of daily life for many visitors, and The Yoga Barn in Peliatan runs more than 25 classes a day as well as teacher trainings and sound meditation. For waterfalls, Tegenungan in Kemenuh drops more than 40 metres, with swimming best in the dry season. The most demanding outing is the Mount Batur sunrise trek in Kintamani, which starts in darkness, needs a local guide and rewards walkers with views over the caldera lake and breakfast cooked in volcanic steam. Trips include transfers from Ubud, and an early night beforehand makes the pre-dawn start easier.
