Spiritual healing.
Like Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love, you can experience spiritual healing in Ubud. Visiting the temple is an important thing, while the holy site that’s used by locals and tourists during a purification ritual to cleanse one’s soul from evil. Take part in the sacred ceremony, you’ll be wrapped in a sarong, and a Hindu priest will guide you into the cool springs.
Monkey Forest.
One among a lot of cool places in Ubud that you must not miss. Inside Ubud Monkey Forest, over 700 long-tailed macaques freely roam the jungle, swinging, eating, and doing what they want to do, of course. You can catch their funny antics and keep entertained for hours.
Shop at Ubud Market.
Yes, shopping! Unlike an ordinary market, this one is a lively bunch, jam-packed with meat and fresh food, and transforms into a bustling art mart in the morning. While happening to be here, you can spot traditional wears, and buy your own Bali bag as a souvenir. Sounds good, no?
