Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Tegallalang Rice Terrace

Walk through the Tegallalang Rice Terrace, about 20 minutes north of Ubud. It's a steep, stepped landscape shaped by the traditional subak irrigation system, which keeps the fields bright green for most of the year. Go early to beat the heat and crowds. There are swings, zip lines, and cafés on the edges, but the best part is just following the narrow paths through the terraces and taking it all in.

Temples of Bali – Must-See Sacred Spots

Temples of Bali – Must-See Sacred Spots

Bali is dotted with temples—some perched on cliffs, others floating on lakes, or tucked deep in the jungle. These sacred sites aren’t just places of worship; they’re woven into daily life, rich in tradition, ceremony, and stunning scenery. Here's a list of the temples worth visiting in Bali, whether you're after spiritual insight or just an unforgettable view. 1. Tirta Empul Temple Visit Tirta Empul to see the holy spring where locals come for purification rituals. It’s a chance to witness—or join—a unique Balinese tradition centred around water. 2. Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) Perched high on a sea cliff, Uluwatu offers some of the best sunset views on the island. Stick around for a proper local experience, the Kecak dance at dusk. 3. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple Float over to Ulun Danu Beratan, a serene temple sitting on Lake Beratan. It’s dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, and the cool mountain air adds to the peaceful vibe. 4. Goa Gajah Temple (Elephant Cave) Step into Goa Gajah for its mysterious cave entrance and detailed stone carvings. The nearby ancient bathing pools make it clear this spot was important centuries ago. 5. Saraswati Temple (Pura Taman Saraswati) Dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and arts, swing by Saraswati Temple in Ubud to see the pretty lotus ponds and elegant carvings. 6. Tanah Lot Head to Tanah Lot for one of Bali’s most famous sea temples. Sitting on a rocky outcrop in the ocean, it’s especially popular at sunset. 7. Besakih Great Temple (Pura Besakih) Known as Bali’s Mother Temple, Besakih is situated on the slopes of Mount Agung and comprises over 80 smaller temples. It’s a sprawling complex that feels like the spiritual heart of the island. 8. Penataran Agung Lempuyang Temple Check out Lempuyang for the 'Gates of Heaven' photo spot, with Mount Agung framing the background. The hike up requires some effort, but the views make it worthwhile.

The beach below is gorgeous, with white sand and turquoise water, but getting there means tackling a steep trail.

Don’t Miss Bali’s Traditional Dance Shows

Don’t Miss Bali’s Traditional Dance Shows

In Bali, dance isn’t just for show—it’s how stories are told, spirits honoured, and traditions passed down. You’ll see hypnotic Legong and Joged dances, the dramatic Barong show (good vs. evil, Balinese-style), and scenes from the Ramayana brought to life through movement and gamelan music. For a classic experience, head to Batubulan for open-air Barong performances each morning. Wayang kulit (shadow puppet theatre) still pops up at art centres and during special festivals. Many hotels also host traditional shows most evenings—so it’s easy to catch one without much planning.
