This itinerary covers a full week in Ubud and its surroundings. Early days focus on central Ubud, the Sacred Monkey Forest, and close temples and rice fields. The sequence builds outward to Mount Batur, more distant terraces, and Lake Bratan as day trips once the immediate area is covered.
One week covers central Ubud plus day trips to rice terraces, temples, and Mount Batur. Hire a driver for sites outside town and allow time for traffic on the main roads.
Book a guide and transport the day before for the 3:30 AM start. Cash payment at the trailhead covers the permit and basic equipment.
Buy tickets at the entrance on arrival. Reach the site before 10 AM to avoid midday crowds and have time for the water rituals.
It's about 20 to 30 minutes north by car or scooter, depending on traffic. Go by 8:00 to beat the heat and the tour buses.
