Welcome, Ubud Indonesia. Best attraction this place

Ubud

Indonesia

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, then Ubud is the place to be. Steeped in culture and enhanced by magnificent vistas, Ubud offers a respite from the humdrum of your busy life. In the past, Ubud was just a small village, but now it has grown into a thriving yet laid back cosmopolitan community. Ubud pampers visitors in body and soul. Fine dining restaurants and spas here will delight and relax the senses. A walk through the lush paddy fields,
watching colourful processions of women gracefully balancing piles of fruit offerings on their way to the temple, are lasting impressions and simply breathtaking. Ubud is a perfect place for you to experience spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Bali's coasts are great for sand and sunsets, but Ubud is arguably the cultural, artistic, and holistic heart of Bali. You could spend weeks taking advantage of the many health-improving options before starting

on all the sights and activities. For first-timers, the premier of all things to do in Ubud is to visit - and possibly get robbed in -the Monkey Forest. The green sanctuary occupies the southwest corner of Ubud, but the resident macaques roam freely, sometimes bullying passerby and making raids on nearby shops. Opportunities for up-close photos abound, just watch out for your camera! Along with visiting the Monkey Forest, seeing a traditional Balinese dance performance is almost compulsory. Yes,the shows are touristy; regardless, they're entertaining and memorable. The nightly shows are easy to find and feature talented performers in colorful costumes. Ubud's central location makes it the perfect base for visiting nearby attractions. The green cascades of the

Tegalalang rice terraces are just a 25-minute drive north. Goa Ganjah, the Elephant Cave temple , is only 15 minutes to the east. If the Tegalalang terraces are too busy, they often are, continue 20 more minutes to the lesser-known Pura Gunung Kawi for a very unique experience at the 11th-century temples. The Betel Nut on Jalan Raya Ubud to the west of town center is a beautiful venue that often hosts cultural events. Check their schedule for documentary screenings, poetry readings, and special events. Despite the tranquil reputation of Ubud, simply walking around town is often frustrating. You can quickly lose that Zen mindset minutes after leaving yoga class. Jammed traffic - vehicles and pedestrians - and severely broken sidewalks require a bit of energy to navigate. You may find yourself wishing you had packed combat boots rather than flip-flops. The sidewalks around Ubud are notoriously uneven and damaged; broken drainage holes with jagged metal bars pose hazards that injure travelers every year.

Drivers often congregate on sidewalks to offer transportation. Sidewalk vendors and shop displays take up the rest of the space. The twice-daily Hindu offerings in small baskets collect in front of businesses and have to be stepped around. Before stepping off the sidewalk to avoid an obstacle, cast a quick glance over your shoulder to ensure that an impatient motorbike driver isn’t zipping along the curb in your direction. People often drive the wrong way on Ubud's one-way streets. Ubud is blessed with an abundance of good eateries, vegetarian cafes, juice shops, and European-style restaurants. You won’t have any trouble finding healthy food, although menus are a little pricey compared to the

rest of Indonesia. For a cheap, authentic Indonesian meal, consider eating in the local warungs or find a Padang rumah makan. You can enjoy a plate of rice, piece of fish or chicken, vegetables, boiled egg, and fried tempeh for around 25,000 rupiah or less! Look for eateries with food displayed in the window; 

simply point at what you want to put on your plate of rice.

#Padang Food: Warung Masakan Minang Halal is a simple-but-excellent Padang eatery on the north end of Jalan Hanoman (left side when facing Jalan Raya Ubud, the main road).

 
#Traditional Roast Pig: To sample babi guling (roast pig) prepared deliciously the Balinese way, get to Warung Ibu Oka. The simple restaurant was made famous by the late Anthony Bourdain. It's only open four hours a day; pigs are stuffed with herbs and roasted off site. Don't expect to eat anything else there other than babi guling and the sides that accompany!

#Balinese Food: For a healthy, very affordable meal of local tempeh and nasi campur (mixed vegetables on rice), check out Warung Biah Biah on Jalan Goutama. If it's too busy, which it often is, try any of the nearby eateries on the same street — competition is fierce.

#Vegan Food: For the healthiest vegan options and medicinal teas in town, Seeds of Life

(also on Jalan Goutama) is the most unique of Ubud's many places to eat healing food.

#Western Food: The Italian-run Buonasera just down the street from Seeds of Life serves the best brick-oven pizza in town with a glass of red wine

Unlike Gili Trawangan in nearby Lombok's Gili Islands, Ubud isn’t exactly a “party” place. Regardless, you’ll find a handful of fun options for socializing. Restaurants throughout town advertise evening happy hours with a set list of cocktails on offer. Bands and guitarists 
entertain at some places in early evenings during happy hour. After dinner, things get a little

more interesting, particularly at the string of bars around the soccer field located at the north end of Jalan Monkey Forest, at the intersection with Jalan Dewista. CP Lounge is a large, popular, late-night place with hookah pipes, live entertainment, pool tables, open-air hangouts, and an enclosed dance floor with DJ. Prices for drinks are about what you would expect at home. For a more sophisticated setting, check out Cafe du Monyet for wine and cocktails in a comfy atmosphere. Haggle, negotiate, and haggle some more! Ubud is overflowing with boutique shops and galleries, however, asking prices start several times the value of the actual item. 
Don’t stress: negotiating prices is a part of the culture and can be a fun interaction when done correctly. The Ubud Market is a chaotic tourist market of real, fake, cheap, expensive, and everything between. You’ll definitely need to negotiate to score good deals. Begin by following these tips:
 
#Arrive early; merchants are sometimes more inclined to meet your price if it’s the first sale

of the day.

#Shop around; you’ll often find the same items for less deeper inside the market.
 
#Negotiate hard but always give a little on the final price to help vendors save face.

#Buy as many of your souvenirs as possible in the same place for more bargaining leverage.

Other Tips for Saving Money
 
#Unlike in other parts of Southeast Asia, minimarts along Jalan Monkey Forest don't have consistent pricing. A Coke or bottle of water in "tourist" minimarts may cost as much as three times more than regular price at a shop literally two doors down.

 
#undle of lessons rather than paying each time. You'll often receive a discount for committing to several classes; sometimes accommodation is discounted with yoga bundles at places such as Yoga Barn.
 
#Many homestays and guesthouses in Ubud offer free breakfast - choose a place that does and take advantage! 

A large community of artists and craftsmen call Ubud home. Numerous galleries are situated around town. On the fringes of Ubud, hand-carved goods are literally piled outside of workshops; many will offer you discounts on sizable works. The Ubud Art Market, at the corner of Jalan Ubud Raya and Jalan Monkey Forest, is an outdoor art clearinghouse. It opens early (6 a.m). Get there in the morning and be prepared to negotiate for inexpensive gifts, souvenirs, and handmade goods. But don't believe for a minute that every wooden

object on display was made by an artist in Bali; much of it is imported from elsewhere in Asia. Ubud is also home to many talented metalsmiths and jewelers. If you own a stone and have considered commissioning someone to create a custom piece of jewelery, Ubud is a good place to do so. Yoga is ubiquitous in Ubud. Whether you're a pro or just curious, there are endless opportunities for taking advantage of cheap sessions in beautiful settings. A single yoga class is usually US $10 or less; it gets even cheaper if you purchase a pass or bundle of several classes. The Yoga Barn on Jalan Raya Pengosekan is by far the largest and most popular place for travelers to try yoga, but there are many other options. For an alternative, check out Radiantly Alive in town, or for intimate classes in a stunning setting, inquire at Taksu Yoga on Jalan Goutama. ATMs on the usual bank networks are found throughout Ubud. Using an ATM attached to a bank branch is always the safest as there is less chance that a card-skimming device has been installed. Also, ATMs that are physically near their bank sometimes offer higher daily limits and a better chance of getting your card back in the event it is captured. ATMs often display the currency denominations available. Whenever possible, use machines that dispense 50,000-rupiah banknotes: they are easier to break than the 100,000-rupiah notes. Paying for a cheap coffee with a 100,000-rupiah note is bad form;

vendors may have to run for change. Offers will come in abundance from private drivers as you walk around Ubud. If you need one, rather than accepting offers on the street, ask at your reception. They'll inevitably have a family member willing to drive you, and there will be a lot more accountability. Negotiate a rate and details before setting out. The ridesharing app Grab is popular on Bali; it's convenient for getting around by car. Because of trouble from the local taxi mafia, your driver may act "low key" or want to collect you somewhere other than at the main entrance of the hotel.
