Bali is probably one of the hottest and most popular tourist destinations in the whole of South East Asia, and with good reason.
Indonesia is home to a fascinating culture and truly intricate history, as well as a great place to experience some amazing natural wonders, from the pristine coastal areas to the stunning countryside.
Although travelers are known to visit the coast and lounge on the beach, not many tourists venture north of Bali, in the Ubud region…and they are actually missing out on a truly great experience!
Although not very well-known to many travelers from the west, Ubud is a truly authentic cultural hub where people can experience a piece of the real Indonesia, far from the fleshy “tourist traps”.
Ubud is home to many talented artisans selling unique, handcrafted products. Besides experiencing a different take on local life, the Ubud area also features some incredible natural attractions, including the famous Goa Gajah (The Elephant Cave), as well as the Gunung Kawi Shrine - not to mention the charming Ubud Monkey Forest and the stunning rice terraces in Tegallalang.
A trip to Bali wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Ubud resort, particularly for any traveler who is interested in a spiritual journey: Ubud is perfect for Yoga practitioners, as well as for anybody looking for a quiet, peaceful break from their daily routine.
