Tegalalang Rice Terraces can be found just north outside of Ubud, with some awe-inspiring views of the cascading terraces sloping on the hillsides. The traditional irrigation system developed by the Balinese in the 9th century, called subak, feeds the verdant fields.
Explore the rice paddies by following the path from the road, where local farmers might ask you for a small donation to enter. Sometimes they may also ask for an extra IDR50,000 if you want to take a photo in their field.
Take a break or have a slow morning at one of the cafes located along the roadside, or visit the kiosks selling their wares. Snap a photo at the Love Bali sign near the entrance to the paddies and don’t forget to bring water and snacks if you’ll be exploring the fields.
Only a twenty-minute drive from Ubud, or a one to two-hour drive from south Bali, drive your rented motorbike or car hire to the roadside entrance of the Tegalalang Rice Terraces.

Several spots in Bali now also have built their own famous Bali swings, but The Original — and most picturesque — Bali Swing is found in Ubud. It can get pretty busy even if the experience comes with a hefty price tag of USD35, so it’s best to come first thing when it opens at 8 AM. Early morning soft light also makes for the best photos at the swing.
The Bali Swing in Ubud is actually several different swings of different lengths. Choose from 10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, and 78 meters above ground, and feel the thrilling sensation as you swing high above the rolling landscape of fields and Balinese jungle and river.
If swinging so high up with little holding you in place is not your thing, the entrance fee also allows you use of the nests scattered around the playground. Giant nest structures on palm trees also make a good photo op and serve as good viewing decks overlooking the hills.
The entrance fee includes a lunch buffet and free-flowing drinks, so you can enjoy their array of playful structures within the grounds. If you’re happy to skip the nests and swings and only have access to the butterfly garden, helicopter, heart-shaped rock, and overlooking rock, then you take their USD10 package instead. It’s recommended to book your package in advance as the swings can get very busy.

Spellbinding at sunset, this 16th century Hindu temple is built atop an outcrop of rock, a stronghold amidst crashing waves. Tanah Lot, only 20 km northwest of Kuta, is an ancient shrine to the sea; it is one of the seven sea temples all within eyesight of each other that create a chain along the Balinese southwestern coastline.
Most times, especially sunset, Tanah Lot can be overrun with tourists, but the view is well worth navigating the throngs of visitors and maze of souvenir market stalls from the parking area to the ornately sculpted temple gate. For a more culturally immersive experience, head to Tanah Lot if you’re in Bali around the time for the Tanah Lot piodalan, the anniversary ceremony. The piodalan falls on the wednesday after kuningan at the end of Galungan holiday in Bali. Local worshipers and even pilgrims from other parts of Indonesia come to pray and serve offerings at the temple, and the vibrant colors and rituals are truly a sight to behold.
Non-Balinese are not allowed to enter the temple, so soak up the sights from the rocky shore. At low tide, a sandy beach is revealed and provides passage to the temple. Otherwise, the temple sits like a lonely little island when the high tide comes washing in. The temple is a religious site, so remember to wear clothing that covers up your knees and shoulders. Entrance fees are at IDR60,000 for adults and IDR30,000 for children, while parking for cars/motorbikes are at IDR5,000/2000.

Among the many natural wonders Bali has to offer, the Sekumpul Waterfalls rank among the most majestic attractions. Groups of narrow cascades lure visitors to their pools, where they drop up to 80 meters (263ft) to the valley below.
While the path from parking to waterfall is steep—comprised of dirt roads, rocky paths, hundreds of steep steps, and flowing rivers—visitors manage to finish the approximate half-hour hike to a wondrous and riveting reward.

Nusa Lembongan sits southeast of Bali, easily overshadowed by its larger sister island, Nusa Penida. The islands don’t get as much tourist traffic as Bali although, in recent years, Lembongan has seen a rise in visitors. Travelers looking for a slower pace and uncrowded spots will find their welcome here. It’s possible to walk the charming and rural 8km2 Lembongan in a day, although bicycles and motorbikes are widely available for hire.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are rewarding in the rich turquoise waters of Lembongan teeming with life with many large marine animals. Locals have managed to protect their reefs from dynamite fishing, and in 2012 the islands were established as a marine conservation district. Dive at Blue Corner or Jackfish Point for a good diving experience. Surfing at spots such as Shipwreck, Lacerations, and Playground is top notch and popular with tourists on the island thus waves can get a bit crowded, but a trip to any of the several uncrowded white sand beaches afterward can wash your worries away. Lounging on the sand by the northwestern coastline can provide fantastic views of Bali and Mount Agung in the distance.
On the island, 85% of the population engages in seaweed farming, mostly to produce carrageenan. Make friends with the locals and ask them more about it if you’re interested, as it is the major livelihood on Lembongan.

The natural habitat and sanctuary of the Balinese long-tailed macaque in Ubud are the Ubud Monkey Forest, owned by the village of Padangtegal. More than 700 monkeys populate the forest along with 186 species of trees in this 12.5-hectare sanctuary.
There are three temples within the Monkey Forest: Pura Dalem, the shrine to Lord Shiva, the Holy Water Temple, and the Cremation Temple. In the forest, visitors can also find sculptures, symbolizing the energies supporting the powers of the three temples. The temple-structure is based on the doctrine of Tri Hita Karana, which teaches followers how to maintain harmonious relationships of humans with humans, humans with their environment, and humans with The Supreme God.

Set atop a plateau that sits on Beratan Lake lies the mesmerizing Pura Ulun Danu Bratan. Built in the 17th century in honor of the Hindu gods Brajma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the lake goddess Dew Danu, the temple’s name means ‘the power or source temple of Lake Bratan’. It is one of the UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites in Indonesia, as well as a social and religious symbol for the Balinese.
The best time to visit the Ulun Danu temple is during the wet season, which is usually from October to April. This is because Ulun Danu’s popularity is rooted in its being a floating temple. If you go during the dry season from April to October, the water may be low and you might not see the temple floating on water.

One of the most photogenic waterfalls in Bali, this unique natural cascade is fast becoming one of the island’s most popular waterfalls due to its Instagram-worthy surrounds. The pools are hidden in a cavernous and maze-like rock formation about an hour’s drive northeast of Ubud.
Be prepared to trek through winding caves, wade through shallow waters, and snap the perfect photos. A particularly unique feature of the Tukad Cepung Waterfall are the rays of sunlight that shine through the rock formations, causing streaks of ‘heaven’s light’ as they are called, creating a magical and majestic backdrop.

Built-in 1948 by the Raja Karangasem, Anak Agung Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, Tirta Gangga is a sprawling 1.2-hectare tourist spot. It encompasses the original water palace as well as well-kept gardens with swimming pools, fountains, bridges, stone carvings and statues. Literally translated, ‘Tirta Gangga’ means ‘water from the Ganges’, and is considered a sacred site by the Hindu-practicing locals.
A famous feature of this palace on the water is the koi pond lined with neat rows of guardian stone statues carrying cudgels. The pond has polygonal steps that you can use to walk across the pond and take photos on or feed the fish from. Behind the pond, you’ll see the 11-tiered, 10m high central fountain with a lotus-shaped tip. There are also two pools – one a public swimming pool and the other used to house golden carp and other large fish.

Nature enthusiasts who love hiking and want to immerse themselves in the tropical Bali landscape while absorbing local culture should head to the Kintamani and Mount Batur area. Found in north east Bali, the climate is notably cooler than in the lowlands of south Bali. Mount Batur holds significant spiritual importance to the Balinese, second only to Mount Agung. Plan a visit to the Pura Batur temple for an architectural feast. As a still-active volcano, trekkers should check conditions with their agency before heading up the mountain. A sunrise trek up Mount Batur can lead to breathtaking panoramas once up the volcano, best seen in the months from January to June. A more adrenaline-packed alternative to hiking is the Black Lava Jeep Tour that heads around Mount Batur.

Twenty minutes from the airport and just north of Kuta, Legian is a trendy and bustling town that is only slightly more laid back than its wilder southern neighbor. Not as chaotic as Kuta, and not as expensive as Seminyak, Legian is a comfortable place to stay if you’re looking to explore Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, and the western coast.
Pass the time in Legian by hitting up the markets for some shopping. Visit small shops and discover traditional Balinese souvenir bargains at the Merta Nadi Art Market near the beach by Jl Melasti. If you’re partied out or tired from all the adventures you’re having on the island, indulge in a massage in a spa or by the beachfront while watching fellow tourists stroll along the sandy beach. When the sea calls, go for a swim or try your hand at catching a cruisy glassy wave with surf lessons offered on the beach or at a shop like the Rip Curl School of Surf. Lounge and soak up the sun with a refreshing drink in hand by the gold and silver sand beach of Legian’s most famous stretch of beach, Double Six Beach, or jump right into a spontaneous game of beach football or volleyball and move to your choice of beach clubs along the coast as the sun goes down.
