6 days in Ubud & Tampaksiring Itinerary

Explore Ubud's surroundings by going to Uluwatu Temple (in Pecatu), Jimbaran Hills Activity Valley (in Jimbaran) and Pandawa Beach (in Kuta). It doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Gunung Sari Dance and relax in the rural setting at Tegalalang Rice Terrace.
