3 Day Ubud Itinerary: A Complete Guide

My Perfect 3 Day Ubud Itinerary

Planning a 3-day Ubud itinerary? After spending nearly two weeks exploring every corner of this cultural heart of Bali, I’ve created the perfect guide to help you make the most of your time.

From the historic Ubud Palace to the peaceful Campuhan Ridge Walk, and those playful residents of the Sacred Monkey Forest, I’ll show you exactly what deserves a spot in your schedule.

During my 13 days here, I ventured beyond the usual tourist spots, discovering spectacular waterfalls and hidden local gems.

One of my most memorable experiences was capturing Ubud’s stunning landscape from above with my drone. The view of rice terraces, ancient temples and jungle canopy showed me Ubud’s true beauty in a completely new way.

I know how challenging it can be to fit Ubud’s many attractions into just three days. That’s why I’ve carefully selected experiences that give you the best of Ubud without feeling overwhelmed. This guide focuses on the essential spots whilst leaving room for those magical moments that make travel special.

The town surprised me with how compact and busy it actually is, quite different from what most expect. You can cover the main sites in a day, but the real magic happens when you venture just outside the town centre to surrounding waterfalls and rice paddies.

Make sure you read my Southeast Asia packing list so you don’t leave anything important behind!

Ubud Travel Itinerary Map

Day 1 – Exploring Ubud Town

Morning – Visit Ubud Palace

The first stop you will want to make is the amazing Ubud Palace.

This palace is small but was home to the royal family of Ubud during the reign of Tjokorda Putu Kandel between 1800 and 1823.

When disaster struck Ubud in 1917, it was destroyed by an earthquake, but it was quickly fixed, and it would be open to foreigners 11 years later.

When we arrived through the gates, it was impressive to see the architecture inside.

It was very busy around midday, so better to go earlier in the morning.

You will likely see a line of people waiting to take pictures with the orange wall and door, where visitors can pass between the palace’s different sections.

Wouldn’t it be a shame not to get your photo taken here?

You can attend a traditional dance inside here, where there will be guys selling tickets at the gate for later that night.

Opening time: 07.00 AM – 05.00 PM

Cost: Free

Address: F7V7+92 Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia

Discover The Best Things To Do In Ubud With My Epic List.

Afternoon – Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

2km south of Ubud Palace, you will find the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

Be prepared to have a whole lot of fun here!

There are countless monkeys roaming around the forest.

They will steal your items if you get too close.

Heck, even one monkey jumped on my back as I was taking a photo! Stay vigilant and don’t leave anything of value down because if you do, you will probably have to negotiate with one of these little guys later to get it back!

You will hear screams of monkeys fighting and playing altogether, so that’s pretty normal.

Another point, if it is raining heavily, as it was for us, the staff told us there were no monkeys visible today because they do not like rain.

When the weather is bad, they hide in the trees.

We considered leaving because you know, what’s the point if we cannot see any monkeys, but we decided we had to go inside and stick to our plan, and it did not disappoint!

We saw so many monkeys and had a great day out.

Make sure you scan the QR code at the ticket counter and download a map of the sanctuary.

Opening time: 09.00 AM – 05.00 PM

Cost: 80,000 Per Person

Address:Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Evening – Campuhan Ridge Walk & Pura Gunung Lebah

A little less than 3km from the monkey haven is Campuhan Ridge Walk & Pura Gunung Lebah.

Before you go on the beautiful nature walk, you will go to the temple.

Though the gates were closed when we arrived, we could still walk around the temple and look in to see the neat garden and exquisite detail of the stone design.

Once you spend a little time there, make your way into a steep valley where green vegetation is everywhere you look.

What I loved about this was the fact that you experience rice terraces to either side with a big drop.

You can see locals’ homes on the cliffs overlooking the rice fields.

We spent about 25 minutes walking along the route, and when it ended, we came to a more populated area with guesthouses and restaurants.

A particularly nice place for a smoothie of coffee is Karsa Kafe.

You can read about the best cafes in Ubud for more nice places to explore.

You get a nice view down onto the rice fields, and as you can see from my drone photography, it’s a special place.

Opening time: 24 hours

Cost: Free

Address: Jl. Bangkiang Sidem, Kelusa, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Nighttime – Witness A Traditional Dance At Pura Dalem Ubud

Something you cannot leave Bali without witnessing is a traditional dance or Kecak performance.

As mentioned before, you can attend a number of temples around Ubud, such as Ubud Palace, but for something new, I suggest you go to Pura Dalem Ubud.

An amazing temple in its own right, here you will be mesmerised by the dance, music and atmosphere that the performers create for you.

We bought tickets at the entrance to the palace when coming back from Campuhan Ridge Walk, and we returned at 07.00 PM in plenty of time to get the best seats.

Make sure you come early to get the best seats, 45 minutes if you can!

You could hear a penny drop.

The musicians start together. The dancers come out and perform for 10 minutes or so each, and they switch.

The whole performance lasted an hour, but my god, it was powerful.

Opening time: 24 hours

Cost: 100,000 Per person

Address: F7V5+W8 Ubud, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia

Where To Eat In Ubud?

One place I recommend you try is Menjamu Ubud. This place was brand new when we ate, and it did not disappoint. I suggest the ribs!

It is close to Pura Dalem Ubud, so you can tuck into some amazing Indonesian food after the dance.

Opening time: Midday – 11.00 PM

Cost: Mid-range

Address: Jl. Raya Ubud No.24, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Day 2 – Exploring East and Northern Ubud

Morning – Explore Nearby Rice Terraces

With all respect to the Ubud town centre, this is where it starts to go up a level.

The surroundings around Ubud are simply phenomenal. You can find lush greenery, expansive rice fields, and so many cool temples to get lost in.

This is exactly what we did. We rented a bicycle for the day. It cost us only 20,000 each. However, I do NOT recommend this. Bali can get hilly very quickly. It’s hard on the body when it’s hot.

Get a Grab scooter or driver if you didn’t rent your own scooter.

Tegalalang Rice Fields

We pedalled north as hard as we could to see the Tegalalang Rice Fields.

A couple of hours later, full of sweat and tears, we arrived at some of the rice fields, and the noise of the scooters and traffic ceased.

All of a sudden, we found ourselves surrounded by nature. Fields continued with rice for eternity.

The ancient Subak irrigation system was in plain sight and at work.

Palm trees dotted the skyline. The hot sun was beating down on everything below. It was Bali at its purest.

Thankfully, there is a narrow path that people walk or bike through the rice fields.

Gembok Cinta. This was honestly one of my favourite times staying in Ubud.

It was free to roam around the fields on our own, where we could see farmers harvesting the rice throughout the morning.

You can get arranged tours here if you prefer.

Additionally, it’s nice to know there are places to hide from the sun and get access to toilets in this part of Bali, randomly dotted through the terraces.

For example, right here was the perfect place for a rest before we made our way to Ceking Rice Terrace.

After we spent some time resting, we had lunch at Green Terrace Warung. This was great because it overlooked the Ceking Rice fields.

People were ziplining above our heads across the field. The food was decent, too.

Opening time: 24 hours

Cost: Free

Address: Banjar Gagah, Tegallalang, Kec. Tegallalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80561, Indonesia

Ceking Rice Terrace

From a tourist’s perception, Ceking Rice Fields are quintessentially Bali.

Though it is VERY touristy, the landscape still admittedly holds its own magic. You just need to walk along the road, which looks down onto the layered terrace.

Usually, you will see it dotted with a farmer or two working together.

If I am honest, I feel like it was for show.

The whole place is covered with tourists taking selfies of themselves or the farmers on the land.

While you can pay a small fee for a picture with a local farmer, a picture in one of those famous Instagram swings will set you back 200,000 (€12.00) per shoot.

The best way to explore this terrace is to walk around and get up high for the best views.

I was super excited to see how the drone captured the fields from high above.

If you want to escape the noise and bulk of the tourists, then I suggest you walk north around Dukuh Terrace Swing until you come to Santana Terrace Bali and find a peaceful place to have a coconut.

For a little money, 30,000, we got a couple of coconuts and sat in actual peace and quiet.

We stayed here for as long as we could.

When the sun sets, you want to be back out near the road where you paid the entrance fee to appreciate the light as much as you can.

Here you will see the true beauty of Bali.

Afternoon – Taman Sari Waterfall And Tibumana Waterfall

Taman Sari Waterfall

Bali has astonishing waterfalls. So I recommend you add Taman Sari Waterfall to your Ubud travel itinerary.

The waterfall has two levels. You can get up close to the water as it crashes down into the pool below on the higher level.

I believe you can bathe in the small, shallow pool, but in my opinion, the lower level is more comfortable.

A much larger pool where you can experience a natural shower as the waterfall pours over your head, and you can swim around in water that most people can reach with their feet.

When we visited, there were only a handful of people around. The crowds seemed to ignore this waterfall.

In the early morning, it will be even more private as the crowds start to wake up and arrive a little later.

Opening time: 08.00 AM -05.30 PM

Cost: 20,000 per person

Address: Jl. Ngenjung Sari, Bakbakan, Kec. Gianyar, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80515, Indonesia

Tibumana Waterfall

A quick trip across to Tibumana Waterfall is next, and it will start to become clear why Bali is world famous for its natural landscape.

Tibumana waterfall is outstanding and certainly one of the most amazing waterfalls in Ubud!

A short walk down a steep staircase, it feels like you are entering a dead end. Surrounded by lush vegetation and tall trees, it may seem like you are going nowhere.

You pass a smaller, unimpressive waterfall, walk over a wooden, creaky bridge and finally arrive at Tibumana Waterfall.

It honestly feels like somebody decided to design the perfect waterfall and place it right here. You can swim in the water in front.

The natural pool is large, but when we visited, most people stayed close to the shore and took selfies or had their friends photograph them in what proved to be the perfect Bali backdrop.

Opening time: 07.00 AM – 06.00 PM

Cost: 20,000 per person

Address: Jl. Setra Agung, Apuan, Kec. Susut, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali 80661, Indonesia

Evening – Pura Titra Temple And Pura Mengening

Pura Titra Temple

This water temple is one of the most visited sites in Bali.

Located about 15km from Ubud, it is here that you can experience a water purification ritual to rid yourself of any negativity.

It is crazy to think this temple was built in 962, around a natural spring, when the Warmadewa dynasty ruled the region.

Now, bear in mind that you’ll likely feel like a tiny ant in a gigantic crowd when in the water.

The queues of people here were exceptionally long.

It was for this very reason that we decided to wait and do the exact same ritual at Pura Mengening instead.

But still, the temples are impressive.

You can also take part in a prayer ritual and enjoy the nice stone design around the temple.

It was built in dedication to Vishnu, and it is undoubtedly impressive and similar to the many temples found in Bali. The large holy spring water is the main attraction, drawing tourists seeking an authentic Balinese experience.

While I question its authenticity, many visitors seemed genuinely impressed by the ritual.

So that is pretty cool.

Opening time: 08.00 AM-06.00 PM

Cost: 50,000 per person

Address: H8M8+P4 Tampaksiring, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia

Pura Mengening

Here is a tip – make the short trip to Pura Mengening to experience the water purification ritual if you do not like large crowds.

The temple is more impressive in my opinion as you climb lower down a steep staircase passing natural springs which are designed eloquently with stone carvings and water flowing on either side of you, above and below you.

It honestly felt like this place was hidden away from the crowds, and it had a fraction of the people visiting.

What I loved was the fact that you had a changing room and a locker to put your valuables in. We even rented an orange bathing cloth to cover our bodies so it felt more authentic.

If you want photos, you can ask the guy at the counter, who happily did this for a fee of 40,000.

I suggest you fully immerse yourself and enjoy the experience. Leave the photo to somebody else if you are travelling with other people.

We made offerings, and a friendly guy from another group told us what to do. We put our heads under the strong current and made a wish.

It was a wonderful experience, and I would urge you to complete the water ritual here rather than at Pura Titra Temple for a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

Opening time: 09.00 AM-05.00 PM

Cost: 30,000 per person

Address: Jalan Tirta No.25M, Sareseda, Tampaksiring, Kec. Tampaksiring, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80552, Indonesia

Nighttime – Live Music at Nomas

This place rocks!

We visited Nomas for the live alternative rock music, and it did not disappoint! It hosted many Latin music nights, too, so check out their lineup for the time you are visiting.

The bar is dark and sexy, and a great place to visit with your partner for some drinks and a good show.

The band would interact with the crowd and they seemed to know songs from everyone’s home country.

We had a marvellous karaoke rendition of Gangnam Style from a Korean guy, so it can be a fun night out, especially if you enjoy singing in front of crowds.

Where To Eat In Ubud?

Rawlings Ubud is a family-run business with great local food.

Their Sambal was to die for. I usually stick with the fried rice, and let me tell you, it was the best one I had in Ubud.

Day 3 Southern Ubud

Morning – Explore Ubud Art Market

Right beside the Ubud Palace is the busy Art Market.

This is going to be the perfect place to pick up a souvenir to bring back to your family or friends.

Now, I will be truthful, the merchants here will give you a headache. I experienced constant requests from every person in a stall to come and view their products.

I get it, they want to make a living, but I wish they would realise it makes the experience much less enjoyable, in my opinion.

But who am I to say anything?

I can only guess that local merchants are sick and tired of all the tourists who bombard Ubud every year.

So I will keep my mouth shut!

However, I can compliment the artwork, which is colourful and creative. You will see many amazing paintings which display epic vistas of Bali.

They would make a great memory when back home.

Opening time: 10.00 AM-05.00 PM

Cost: Free

Address: Jl. Raya Ubud No.35, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Afternoon – Goah Gajah & Goa Garba

Goa Gajah

Get ready for a dive into Balinese history.

One of the more impressive caves in Bali is Goah Galah. If you have been searching for things to do in Ubud, then you will have likely stumbled across this place.

This cave is thought to date back to at least 1365 because it is cited in the Javanese poem Desawarnana.

In 1950, a large bathing area was excavated, making the site much more interesting.

Opening time: 08.00 AM – 06.00 PM

Cost: 50,000 per person

Address: Bedulu, Blahbatuh, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Indonesia

Goa Garba

A short trip away, only 3.5 kilometres, you will reach Goa Garba.

In my opinion, it is the more impressive of the two temples, and if you can only visit one, I would recommend this one.

A stunningly steep staircase leads you up to an impressive gateway.

The cave and temple are covered in a light green moss, making it look anciently brilliant – which it is.

To the right of the staircase, you will find the cave carved out of the rock. It is here that you will feel a natural desire to sit in the cave and meditate.

It could be a wonderful experience if you get some time alone without other travellers exploring the site.

Opening time: 09.00 AM – 05.00 PM

Cost: 30,000 per person

Address: Pejeng Kelod, Tampaksiring, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80552, Indonesia

Evening – Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang

If you would love an adventure in the insanely impressive Bali countryside, then Hidden Canyon is a whirlwind experience.

Only a short drive south of Ubud, approximately 15km, you will find a place to capture great memories.

The whole experience lasted about two hours.

We slowly navigated our way through the river, stretching, climbing and swimming through the water, not sure if where we stood next was going to exist.

This was one of the most exciting adventures in all of Ubud.

Our Guide, who was fantastic, took many pictures and videos of us with our GoPro. We had lunch included afterwards too.

Be prepared – afterwards, your legs and feet will hurt.

You will get scratched and marked. Heck, a coconut fell from the tree and nearly knocked us into the river. So it is a little risky.

We arrived at about 4.15 PM to start our adventure and we sat down for our food at 06.00 PM.

Still, I couldn’t recommend booking a tour here enough!

Opening time: 08.30 AM – 04.30 PM

Cost: 200,000 per person.

Address: 97QQ+XMM, Jl. Sahadewa, Banjar Wangbung, Guwang, Kec. Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80582, Indonesia

Nighttime – Attend a Yoga Session

Bali is famous for its spirituality.

Though I feel it’s a little bit inauthentic, it still brings people from all over the world to find peace within themselves.

We attended a Yoga session to loosen up our bodies after a busy few days exploring Ubud and its terrific natural surroundings.

We visited the Yoga Barn. It has an impressive facility where you can join public classes.

The tutor was very good, and overall, we felt it was a nice way to cap off three amazing days exploring this popular town.

You can actually stay in the Yogabarn if you are into Yoga, so check out their deals if that is of interest.

Opening time: 07.00 AM – 09.00 PM

Cost: 180,000 per person.

Address: F7M8+PVG, Jl. Sukma Kesuma, Peliatan, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia

Where To Eat In Ubud?

The Laughing Buddha Bar is a popular venue with live music.

You can eat well here, but for us, it was all about the music. Indonesian bands are epic, and we had the joy of listening to Barama Music.

The crowd were up on their feet, and the place was singing out loud.

Highly recommended for a great night out in Ubud.

Other Things To Consider

Tegenungan Waterfall

Another epic waterfall was found about 12km south of Bali, Tegenungan Waterfall.

A steep descent is totally worth the trek to another gem in Bali. The water crashes hard down into the swimming pool below.

But be warned, you cannot swim directly under the waterfall for safety reasons. A lot of water is falling hard.

Cooking Class

Balinese food is tasty, and what better way to improve your cooking skills than with a cooking class and an expert?

Learn how to make dishes such as Sambal, Nasi Goreng or an Indonesian curry.

Where Is Ubud?

Ubud is located in Bali, an Indonesian island found between Java to the west and Lombok (check out this post on things to do in Kuta Lombok) to the east.

In about a two-hour drive from Denpasar airport, you will be in Ubud centre.

Ubud is located centrally in Bali, though a little more east than the centre of the island.

Where To Stay In Ubud?

Ubud is small, but I recommend you stay somewhere central, close to Ubud Palace or Sacred Monkey Forest.

To be honest, because of Ubud’s compact size, you can easily walk to most attractions wherever you stay in Ubud. You can even use Grab (a transportation app) or a taxi to take you around, too.

When we stayed in Ubud, we found Uma Loris Guesthouse a nice option. In a few minutes’ walk south, you could find the main street.

A few minutes’ walk north, you could find a more rural feel with vegetation growing all around. Another plus was that it didn’t break the bank! I would say it was more mid-range than budget. A good deal, I would argue!

Some other nice options (with great reviews) include:

Wijaya Guest House Ubud

Mandala Bungalows

Indy House

How To Get To Ubud?

When we landed at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, we had already booked a taxi through Booking.com

It worked out very well.

Our driver even took us to get a SIM card and didn’t ask for more money. 70GB for 600,000 seemed a little expensive.

Now, the data proved to be on the slower side, and he seemed to know the people in the shop, so maybe this was a common practice, but still, we had a working phone now. Traffic in Denpasar was honestly terrible. When we arrived, it took over 2 hours to get to Ubud, which is less than 40 km away.

Infrastructure is not the best in my experience, so there can be big delays on the road.

When To Visit Ubud?

The best time to visit Ubud is May or August, just outside of the peak times of June and July. Even April and October are good options, too.

We visited in late July and August, and the weather was perfect – warm but not too hot.

About 30 degrees Celsius every day. However, the streets were filled with people going to the same places as us. It got a little frustrating after some time, but that’s the reality of travelling in the high season.

Keep this in mind when you are booking your flights.

Getting Around In Ubud

Walking is the best way to move around Ubud.

Unless you are happy to walk the streets of Ubud then you can move around by scooter (rented or Grab) or Taxi.

Though there are signs scattered around the town saying Grab is banned, you will quickly see this is ignored by most people, including locals.

Some people feel it is ruining the economy of taxi drivers themselves. You can decide for yourself here what is best to do.

If you need to budget, then use Grab. If you want to be a good citizen, pay the drivers directly.

The scooters work great in Ubud because the streets are narrow and hilly. So when there is an inevitable traffic jam, you can pass it easily.

The Grab drivers always have a helmet for the passenger in my experience, so it’s safe too. If you travel further afield, then a taxi is a good way to move.

To travel deeper into Bali, I suggest you rent a driver for the day. We paid 1,000,000 (€58.00/$64.00/£49.00) for a full day driving around Bali in a pre-determined tour.

We visited Leke Leke Waterfall, Bratan Temple, Banyumala Twin Waterfall and Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, which was a marvellous day out.

Is 3 Days In Ubud Worth It?

This island is amazing.

You can surf, visit temples, learn to cook or become spiritually aware of yourself if you want. Heck, you can even take a Flower Bath too!

Ubud has a much different vibe from other famous parts of Bali, like Canggu or Uluwatu, but it’s an amazing place to explore for a few days. The town surprised me with how small and busy it actually is, quite different from what I expected.

Of course, feel free to adapt and change things up if you want to see different things. From my experience, the biggest takeaway was that Ubud town centre is incredibly compact. You can easily explore it and see most of the important sites within one day, though don’t skip the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary or Ubud Palace. If you move a little slower, you can take an extra day.

However, I’ll stick by my word and say the real beauty and gold can be found on a short journey outside the heart of Ubud town centre. Bali is a big island with so much to explore.

For first-time visitors to Bali, I’d recommend starting in Ubud. It’s where many travellers meet people, there’s loads to do, and you can take day trips to the surrounding areas. We stayed two weeks in the same accommodation, which allowed us to slow travel and discover hidden spots without rushing between locations.

Budget around $50.00 to $100.00 per day for mid-range travel, covering accommodation, food, activities and transport. If you only have 3 days in Bali total, spend all three based in Ubud and take day trips if you want to see more of the island.

One thing I’d do differently is learn how to ride a motorbike before arriving, as it gives you much more freedom to explore independently.

Go out and see as much of it as you can in three days.

Thanks for reading,

James


FAQ’s

Is There Much To Do In Ubud?

Ubud offers plenty despite its small size. Within town, visit Ubud Palace, Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, and Campuhan Ridge Walk. The surrounding area holds even more, including Taman Sari Waterfall, Tibumana Waterfall, and Tegalalang Rice Terraces, all reachable by hired driver or scooter (around $10.00 per day). We spent two weeks exploring and found new spots daily. Hiring a driver gives you flexibility without navigation stress. The compact town centre makes it an ideal base for discovering central Bali’s waterfalls, temples and rice paddies within 9 kilometres.

How Many Days Should I Spend In Ubud?

Two days cover Ubud’s main town attractions, but the surrounding area deserves more time. Most travellers spend 5-7 days exploring nearby waterfalls, temples and rice terraces properly. We stayed two weeks in the same accommodation and discovered incredible spots like Tibumana Waterfall, which is huge and picturesque, and Taman Sari, which offers adventure despite slippery rocks and narrow steps. If you only have 2 days, focus on your own highlights. In a week, venture deeper into Bali’s countryside where the rice paddies and waterfalls truly shine.

Is 7 Days Too Long In Ubud?

Seven days in Ubud gives you time to see everything at a relaxed pace. After covering town attractions in 2-3 days, use the remaining time exploring the surrounding waterfalls and rice terraces. We visited spots like Tibumana and Taman Sari (25,000 IDR entrance each) by leaving at 08.00 AM and finding only a couple of other visitors. The rice terraces and waterfalls become more impressive the further you travel from town. Book accommodation with flexible cancellation in case you want to relocate. Seven days lets you discover hidden spots without rushing through.

Can I See Ubud In Just 2 Days?

Two days cover Ubud’s famous attractions, including the monkey forest, palace and main temples. However, you’ll miss the surrounding waterfalls and rice terraces that make this area special. If 2 days is your limit, prioritise morning visits to popular spots before crowds arrive at 10.00 AM. Hiring a driver the night before maximises your time and removes navigation stress. Whilst possible, staying 4-5 days lets you experience Ubud’s natural beauty properly. Plan 30 minutes minimum at each waterfall, longer if you want to swim and explore.
