Even the most urban corners of Ubud (Bali) hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Tegallalang Rice Terraces and Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Gunung Kawi for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali, a town surrounded by emerald rice terraces, ancient temples, and lush river valleys. Walking here means discovering art galleries, yoga studios, and sacred monkey forests at every turn.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Ubud (Bali). The audio walking tour can include stops such as Tegallalang Rice Terraces — emerald-green terraced paddies carved into a steep river valley using the traditional Balinese subak irrigation system, a UNESCO cultural landscape, Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary — a 12.5-hectare moss-draped forest sheltering 1,260 long-tailed macaques and three ancient Hindu temples dating to the 14th century, Campuhan Ridge Walk — a narrow grassy ridge trail between two river valleys offering sunrise views over palm groves and the Gunung Agung volcano, plus hidden gems like Gunung Kawi — ancient 11th-century rock-cut shrines carved into a riverside cliff face, reached by descending 300 steps through rice paddies.
Use this page as a starting point for a Ubud (Bali) walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Ubud (Bali). Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Ubud (Bali) is known for culture and nature, but between the busy streets, spaces like Tegallalang Rice Terraces and Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Gunung Kawi provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Ubud's narrow roads have no sidewalks and heavy scooter traffic — walk facing traffic and consider hiring a driver for temples outside town, saving your walking for the rice terraces and ridge walks.
April through October is the dry season with sunny mornings ideal for rice terrace walks. The Campuhan Ridge Walk is best at sunrise before the heat builds.
