Indonesia - Bali - Ubud

Ubud is well known as ‘place of the artists’. You can find many paintings and handy craft along the way of Ubud. After driving a long way and exhausted, we tried to find lodging at the center of Ubud. Again, the road is a one way road and the moment you missed the place you have to do the same round again. We found a nice lodging placed name Dewi Accommodation (monkey forest road). The place was cozy with the price of Rp. 45,000 including the banana pancake and big jar of hot tea as breakfast. Ubud was completely different from Kuta, especially in the low tourist season like this, the street, the bar and eating places were quite and cozy.

Monkey Forest : Monkey forest located in line with the hotels and shops, on the top end of the road. Admission fee is Rp. 10,000. It’s inhabited by band of monkeys and there is a very nice temple in this area called ‘Pura Dalem Agung’ (High temple of the dead).

Other Ubud Temples: We visited 3 temples in Ubud: Pura Samuan Tiga, Pura Pusering Jagat and Pura Penataran Sasih. Those 3 temples located around the city and didn’t bring much good impression on the structure and the architecture compared to the temple at Tanah Lot and Bedugul. In the entrance, the keeper would ask you to fill in the guest book and indirectly asking you some money for the temple donation. They will indicate donation around Rp. 20,000 to Rp. 50,000 or higher as you pleased.
