Things to Know Before You Go
Before heading out on the Campuhan Ridge Walk, it’s important to prepare for the elements. The walk is best done in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Wear comfortable shoes and light clothing, as there’s little shade and the sun can be intense, especially in the midday. Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated, and don’t forget sunscreen. The trail is well-marked, but there are no major facilities along the way, so it's recommended to bring anything you might need with you. The walk is generally peaceful, but always be respectful of the surrounding nature and local villages.
How to Get There
The Campuhan Ridge Walk is located just a short distance from Ubud’s town center. To reach the start of the trail, head to the Warwick Ibah Villas & Resort, which is at the beginning of the walk. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from Ubud’s main street, Jalan Raya Ubud. If you're traveling by taxi or rideshare, the driver can easily drop you off near the start of the trail.

The trailhead is clearly marked, so finding it is easy once you’re in the area.
When to Get There

The afternoon is another great time to visit, especially if you want to see the stunning colors as the sun sets over the hills. Avoid midday walks, as the heat can make the experience less enjoyable.
