Campuhan Ridge Walk begins beside the Pura Gunung Lebah and follows a gently undulating 2 km paved ridge trail. This walk was recommended in the early 21st century but as of 2026 the views have sadly been ruined by development. Still, it is a nice enough walk. The best way to do it is to take a Grab to Bankiang Sidem, the village on the northern end of the walk. This way, you'll be walking downhill 2km back into central Ubud. Note: a taxi mafia controls Bankiang Sidem and prevents Grabs and outside taxis from picking up passengers there. They can still drop off, however.

Before he passed away in 1999, Spanish artist Antonio Blanco was an absolute fixture on the Ubud art scene. His former home is now a museum showcasing his sometimes bizarre but always interesting work. Think Salvador Dali transplanted to Asia. In the garden you can take pictures of the exotic birds flying around. A gallery and a studio is connected to the museum. Also, there is a family temple and a vegan restaurant here.

One of the best kecak performances in Ubud, every Friday and Monday evening. Staged in beautiful surroundings outside under the banyan trees, and followed by a fire dance. Excellent ambiance and the fire dance at the end is impressive. A leaflet in several languages is at disposal to understand the illustrated Ramayana story. However, parts of the performance can get repetitive.
The Sweet Orange Walk is even better than the Campuhan Ridge Walk was before it was ruined by development. It follows narrow paths through rice fields just north of central Ubud, passing cafés, rice fields, homestays and art studios. It is a relaxing walk suitable for most visitors. Loop back into central Ubud by turning onto Jalan Kajeng and browse its art and trinket stalls.
Museum of Fine Arts
When it opened in 1954, this was the first private museum in Bali. Three buildings showcase traditional and modern Balinese art. The displays are a little musty and English labeling is spotty, but some of the works, particularly the carvings, are quite amazing. Exhibits by noted artists I Gusti Nyoman Lempad and Rudolph Bonnet, among others.
Pura Gunung Lebah sits at the confluence of the Campuhan and Wos rivers beside Campuhan Bridge. Dating from the 8th century, it is one of Ubud's oldest and most sacred temples. Dedicated to the spirit of the surrounding valleys, the temple is known for its peaceful atmosphere, traditional stone carvings and lush jungle setting. It also marks the southern entrance to the popular Campuhan Ridge Walk.
