All about Ubud
When to Visit
The best time to visit Ubud is during Bali’s dry season, from April to October, when the weather is warm and perfect for outdoor activities. This period is ideal for trekking through rice fields, exploring temples, and enjoying yoga retreats. The rainy season, from November to March, brings occasional heavy showers, but the lush greenery and fewer crowds make it appealing to some travelers. Plan your visit around cultural events like the Bali Arts Festival in June or Nyepi (Balinese New Year) for a unique experience.
Getting Around
Ubud is best explored on foot or by bicycle, especially within the town center and nearby attractions. For longer distances, scooters are the most popular option for getting around, but exercise caution on winding roads. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Gojek are convenient for short trips, while private drivers or guided tours are ideal for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Traveler Tips
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes for exploring Ubud’s attractions. Don’t miss the Tegallalang Rice Terraces at sunrise or sunset for stunning views. Try local dishes like babi guling (suckling pig), nasi campur, and Balinese coffee at warungs (local eateries). Visit the Ubud Art Market early to avoid crowds and find unique souvenirs. Book yoga classes or wellness retreats in advance, especially during the peak season. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when visiting temples and carrying a sarong. Stay hydrated and carry insect repellent for jungle walks. Lastly, take time to relax in Ubud’s tranquil setting and enjoy its wellness-focused experiences.
